Hoping Spain win tonight though. I like the way they play with Williams and Yamal.
You want to give that big brown nose a good wash :hehe:Quote:

I think they would due to confidence and the quality of all penalties which were near enough side netting from memory?
Or would it confuse things if they tried to score on the opposite side, or would they all go the same way again?
Would Holland go opposite to where they normally do to throw out Pickford's notes?
Hopefully, they are burnt out from the last two extra and it doesn't go to penalties.
Come on Spain!!!
Can’t believe Holland have never won the WCQuote:

Identical chances for both sides in the first eight minutes, Spain miss, France score.
The Spanish are being dirty gets tonight.
Historic and brilliant goal levels it up - much better game than I was expecting up to now.
Unbelievable goal
16!
2-1 Spain.
Another boring game....
Told you he was good

Great game , two sides going at it. Spain with Yamal and Williams for their magic , France with Dembele and Mpabbe.
Hard to call this one.
Should make for a good second half with Spain leading. France, unlike their run to the semi, have to go for it.
Football's finished. Allegedly.Quote:

Dreadful defending by Spain then
Not their usual calm as a cucumber
When all else fails, bring on the BIG MAN
Anymore predictions mystic Meg?Quote:

France rubbish in the final third as they have been all tournament. Might as well bring things to a close now pre-season's here.
I hope England/Netherlands stuff Spain. Can't stand the way they act after any minimal contact
Holland in the 70s were certainly the most entertaining .Quote:

then 15 minutes later you'd see Cruyff defending, Krol leading the line.
Commentators at the time could never work out the formation. Best way to describe it was "rolling".
How they didn't win the WC will always be a mystery.
I thought he was excellent, incredible pace. Hardly boring Tony, perhaps not quite hitting the heights of the first half.Quote:

No mystery, Argentina cheating is the reasonQuote:
