My goodness Spain is good. Their ability to control the ball is absolutely neutralizing France’s offensive firepower.

Still a ton of time, but it seems like France needs a bad error by Spain to fuel a comeback. They look so composed

Mistakes are the story in this one. Spain, like always, plays such disciplined possession soccer. France has the firepower, but 2 big mistakes will likely cost them this one.

The French team continues to play dirty. Body checks from behind and cheap shots.

Flop!

España !

Spain is about to go into the world cup final having allowed only 1 goal in the entire tournament. I don't know that enough people tuning in on Sunday will appreciate how insane that is and/or how good this Spanish team is.

They really remind me of that 2010 team that won every knockout game 1-0 all the way through.

Lamine Yamal is a UCL and a World Cup final win away from completing football at age 19. Pretty wild

Amazing game by Spain. Very sound from a technical stand point. France had a pretty bad game and a lot of it had to do with Spain’s ability to keep ball.

Huge match already getting chippy

0-0 at the Half.

I feel like someone is going to eventually get a Penalty Kick. More than likely England.

 

[dafarmer]

Good thing the field isn’t white, otherwise you couldn’t see all the England players trying to draw penalties.

I am newer to soccer. Been following it for about 10 years. Has this flopping thing always been this bad? Like did they do this back in the 1980's and 1970's or is this kind of a newer thing.

 

[BigJCy]

I'd hate to be the Ref this game.

 

[harimad]

That was beautiful

 

[3TrueFans]

Holy **** what a tackle by Spence

Unfortunately the last thing England wants to do is park the bus.

Unfortunately the last thing England wants to do is park the bus.

I’d be terrified of what Messi will do to win this one. I’m thinking two in extra time just to make it more gut wrenching.

Victoria and David Beckham are just a ridiculously good looking couple
