It's not new. This is the same type of play that they played in the Euro 2008.

@@robert111k so would it be accurate to say the speedy-taka style has been resurrected? Either way, I stand corrected, and I appreciate the correction without the usual snarkyness on here. Thnx.
Spain’s movement off the ball was phenomenal. Whether it was Olmo dropping in or Morata moving to the wing, there was always a spare player to receive a pass. Disciplined in all aspects of the game, massive credit to de la Fuente and the Spanish coaching staff.
de la Fuente. 💯💢
Best way to summarise the game. Tactical good. You are wise man
@@thembinkosingwenya5838Nah Southgate wil destroy their tactics😢
Morata gets so much criticism, and maybe he deserves some. But I thought he did a lot of hard work for the team last night, and he did it very well.
yes de la Fuente, we have to give big credit to him for Spain to play like what they play now... domination!
The more impressive thing about Yamal is how mature he is on the pitch. Knows when to keep it simple and knows when to attack the full back
La Masia knowledge
Cruyff's knowledge 💙❤️🔥
Boy was blessed by Messi in when he was a toddler and grew up in La Masia idolizing him. He's destined for greatness
Dembele is a fraud , useless
Amen most kids that age wouod be extreme ball hogs
Spain is a devastating team..They play Tiki-Taka and Heavy metal football at the same time 😂
Hansi flick with similar philosophy. Flicki flaka
Eeiii Barca fans have started again flick 😂😂😂the guy isn't any special he's riding his covid champions league when teams and countries were suffering. We live to see
It's the new tiki taka
now they play tiki waka
They still play the same, they just have pacey wingers. The one thing that changed is that they are not so posession based, they let other teams have the ball so they can open up and kill them on the counter. people dissing on possesion football have no brain, posession football is defending with the ball and spain did that in the second half at the end perfectly.
Spain is so fun to watch. Congrats, well deserved!!
Thanks 🇪🇦
Gracias
It's one thing to hype up a young player, especially like how England loves to do, but then you see kids like Yamal, Nico Williams and Arda Guler actually doing the business on the biggest of stages.
LaLiga is blessed with true talents not Overhyped ones like Prem and English players
100% 👏👏👏

I think he is the Golden Boot winner as of right now
He was amazing at Dinamo Zagreb !
De La Fuente finally realized even tired and 80% it was better to leave the kids in the match longer
As a French supporter, I’m disappointed, but they deserved to lose due to a lack of hunger, determination, urgency, and concentration. The French Football Federation should have sacked Deschamps after the World Cup loss in Qatar and appointed Zidane. Instead you insult him. Spain have been the best team in the tournament. Collectively brilliant on both ends. Also the most fun to watch. You can have zero complaints as a football fan. They deserve to be here.
France could have still won the game. We just didn’t finish our chances. And therefore we deserved to lose.
Zz is overrated. He got himself a great real Madrid squad with a prime cr7. The next place he will end up coaching is man city.
@@avatarkana1161 Fair point, but there was no urgency to get going. All they did was waste time when it came to counter-attacking. Dembélé made terrible crosses, and Mbappé and Hernandez wasted clear opportunities to score.Kante wasteful in possession. And just the defence and midfield constantly giving wasteful fouls that played right into Spain‘s hands.
Deschamps is like a more polished version of Southgate.
Mbappe is done
These commentators were saying Spain was tired and that old man with glasses not even there to show his face talking down on Spain yesterday 😂
What did Stevie Nicol say? “Old man with glasses” 🤣🤣🤣🤣
they are rent a gob level commentators. they need to say ridiculous things for views ...else they won't have jobs anymore .

Spain has returned. Passing with purpose and devastating wingers. They'll be favourites in the coming wc.

Klinsmann's insights clearly mark him out as someone who has played and coached at the higher level, especially the latter. He gives a perspective that is not that of a fan, but of a football manager.
I mean, he managed Bayern then took over US, nurtured the squad before getting fired because the USSF hated to wait for the long term progress as he lost matches. He actually is a good coach, but underappreciated.
Sorry Frank, your anti German rhetorics backfired. Karma is a bith. To these brits on the panel, Anthony Taylor's attempt to handcuff the Spanish team with all those yellow cards did not work. Tomorrow Dutch will knock out England. Congrats to Spain - go and win it all now. Cheers from 🇩🇪.

France really gotta start looking at deschamp. Hes been the coach for 12 years this team needs a revamp. A new voice, new ideas. All this talent but the last 2 euros they been very disappointing.
I knew people would jump on him the moment france loses as if the rather recent great runs of WC 2018, Runner up WC 2022 and semi finals 2024 euros are not pretty good 😂

16-year-old Lamine Yamal wins the MOTM award for Spain's semifinal win vs. France 🏆
It is highly recommended and a MUST for Real Madrid management, board of directors, coaching staff, people working in their club who are involved on the transfer-market to permanently sell who are currently out on loan to play for another football club, do not offer a loan with buy back clause or with a number or percentage rights, recall or return players that are currently on-loan by another football club to play for Real Madrid, ageing ((28) years old and above), inconsistent (due to limited playing time, never have played and always on the bench, poor defensively, not performing well) regardless of age, injury prone, those who are not comfortable playing in different position, that MUST happen on or before July 2027. We are referring to Modric, Vasquez, Daniel Carvajal Ramos "Dani Carvajal", Courtois, Alaba, Rudiger, Mendy, Daniel Ceballos Fernández "Dani Ceballos" Jesús Vallejo Lázaro "Jesus Vallejo", Francisco José García Torres "Fran Garcia", Diaz, Juan Miguel Latasa Fernández "Juanmi Latasa", Reinier Jesus Carvalho "Reinier", Nicolás "Nico" Paz Martínez, & Guler.
Confirmed leaving Real Madrid as some will no longer renew, and a few getting sold permanently with a buy back clause on or before September 2024: Rafael Marín Zamora "Rafa Marin", Kroos, José Ignacio Fernández Iglesias "Nacho", José Luis Mato Sanmartín "Joselu", and Arrizabalaga.
Once they get sold these are the players should be sign based on their positions on or before July 2027.
Right Back: Jesus Fortea, Malo Gusto
Left Back: Alphonso Davies, Miguel Gutierrez
Centre Back: William Saliba, Leny Yoro
Centre Defensive Midfielder: Rodrigo "Rodri" Cascante
Centre or Attacking Midfield: Florian Wirtz, Franco Mastantuono
Lastly Real Madrid must never offer a contract to these players for a RIGHT BACK position, that are inconsistent regardless of age, poor defensively, has disadvantage of height and strength (lacks muscles), proven already that unable to stop wingers/strikers in different leagues, injury-prone, has beyond 60 million euro's transfer-market value, and ageing 27 years old and above, and turning 27 years old and above on year 2027. We are referring to Darmian, Walker, Trippier, Di Lorenzo, Cancelo, Dumfries, Calabria, White, Mazraoui, Ryerson, Wan-Bissaka, Molina, Alexander-Arnold, Hakimi, Tomiyasu, Royal, Dalot, Porro, James, Boey, Frimpong, Couto, Livramento, Terracciano, Bradley, Sanchez, Lewis, Fresneda, Gray, & Lima.
Lamine should FedEx the MOTM trophy to Rabiot.
@@gslang3489 😂😂😂
Yes and that’s it. Can we refrain from calling him the new goat 🐐 plz?
@@lraoux why tell me, lets talk it personally. provide me your account
Lamine Yamal is him and he’s arguably the best right winger in world football on current form at the age of 16, and he’s just too good. What he’s doing at this age is unheard of. He’s just that guy and he is genuinely elite and any doubts he him has been silenced. In his first ever major tournament, he has a goal and 3 assists and he’s led Spain to the final and he is in contention to win player of that tournament despite legitimately being a teenager and it tells you how good he truly is. Yesterday Adrien Rabiot made some comments and said that: “Yamal needs to do more than what he’s been doing in this tournament if he is to help Spain get to the final”. This is coming from a guy who nobody rates and he made you eat his words and the next time you want to say something about a player and get into their head before a big game, make sure that they’re on the same level as you as this aged so well as in front of you “he scored an excellent goal from outside of the box” to send your country home. How many teenagers do you know are pulling that off in a semifinals of a EUROs game against France when your team is down by a goal.
He absolutely outshined Kylian Mbappe today in terms of that moment itself and is there anything that he can’t do. It wasn’t just the goal, he’s known for his ability to create and take other players on, something that I liked about his performance was unlike certain players who think that they’re all that and can walk on the pitch and not track back when his team is out of possession is that he tracked back and actually helped on defense he was disciplined and knew that with his team up by a goal, he had to cover for his fullback and that’s a sense of maturity right being impactful on both sides of the pitch. This is football’s next big superstar and you just cannot doubt him and Barcelona are lucky that they have a special player for the next 15 years because in the midst of a difficult financial situation where they have limitations in terms of their transfer business, we have a guy from the academy who’s making a mark on football for club and country and he keeps impressing the football world with what he does in every passing game and I don’t see him slowing down any time soon barring any future injury.
"Best right winger in world football"
Yeahhhh that's a stretch mate. And I say that as a Barca fan. He only had like 5 goals 5 assists in La Liga this past season. His first goal didn't come until like half way through the season. The first half of last season he had like 0 goals 1 assist in the league. Despite playing regularly. That is an ABYSMAL return and almost non existent production for half a season! Yes, he started to improve and pick things up in the 2nd half. But overall he was hit or miss and had long periods of struggling with producing anything meaningful.
And the Euro is just a 7 game tournament (assuming you make the finals). Far too little of a sample size. And he's also in an advantageous position compared to many other players because he plays in arguably the best side. Where his team enjoys great possession and creates chances galore. So there's many opportunities for him to do something in every match. Where as some other stars play for teams who can barely complete 3 passes in a row, let alone many chances or controlling the game.
What I will say is he's the best teenage talent and teenage RW in the world. But I'd still have players like Saka, Bernardo Silva, Foden, Salah, etc ahead of him. All of them have put up better numbers and done it for longer. Yamal will likely surpass them in the near future if he keeps developing at this pace. But he has to earn it by improving his end product and have a prolonged period of form that last at least 2-3 years.
As far as Mbappe...I think the broken nose affected him. He didn't look himself this tournament after suffering that injury. He's been so good for so long that a few games at a tournament doesn't really change the big picture.
Very impressive. It's maybe too early to say, but when I look at the complete overall game of Lamine, then I get a feeling he is destined to become the superstar footballer of this current generation rather than Mbappe or Vinicius.
@@avikellerman4539 yes totally agree .I bet this chap would not of named him in his top ten a month ago . football fans are like goldfish.every players is "the greatest player"accounting to that week

Luis de la Fuente handled the game perfectly.
What was impressive was Spain's ability to mix up the approach. Not just short tiki taka passing. They could be direct or play between the lines as well. Go wide or use simple triangles.
Spain only struggles when they're ahead and try to slow down the game in the middle. They're not as good doing that as they're pushing in the front line.

@hobbyist6181 Man, you again, I see you crying in every comment and I will repeat it to you as many times as necessary. The German striker is offside, but if you still have doubts, the German striker touches the ball with his biceps and that allows him to give the ball to Musiala. If you are German, stop making a fool of yourself, you look like a fan of a small and complaining team. Even if Germany were the hosts, there is no reason to expect them to steal from the opposing team for their benefit. Despite the sibylline refereeing against Denmark, I have not seen the Danes cry over the game like you are doing, you are a mixture of laughter and sadness. You can continue calling for Cucurella in every game as the Germans did today in the game against France, but that will not change the fact that the first one to hit the ball with his hand was the German striker, and the images are there to see why They are clear as day.

Lamine Yamal's goal is a masterclass, then consider the fact that he is still under 17 years old. The mindset to continuously move and attack, his ball control, the fake move on Rabiot, his decision when to shoot, and the skill and curling precision from outside the box to defeat one of the best goalkeepers. This is a Spanish team without regular starters like midfield Pedri and defender Dani Cavajo. A sensational game! Wow!
No gavi 🥶🥶🥶 no blade 🥶
To know how good Spain were today, France couldn't even touch the ball in the last 10 minutes when all they needed was just 1 goal to tie it.
A lot of time delaying actioning which was not punished
They lost the control of midfield, hence why.
You couldn't simply rely on Tchoua-Kante duo forever, they are humans, duh.
Spain overdid the "keep the posession" thing. They should have finished more plays. I'm Spaniard and I didn't like that. You have to keep the opponent a little more scared or you enter a defensive dynamic.
France miss Pogba.. he was the creative player offering that pass from midfield that's what made them a good offensive team with their defense....but since Pogba hasn't been in the team they have won yes but not with the flair from

Spot on .no Buddy talk about it.
They really need another Pogba. Anyway, what an insightful analysis here, I couldn't agree more.
Alternatively, they could've just played Griezmann to suit that role - I have seen him playing as one at ATM.

Imagine an English 16-year-old scoring a goal like this in the semi-finals of the European Championship this English pundit would be talking about until your ears are gone for years to come.
Even when asked about Lamin throughout the tournament they tried to avoid praising him,
you can clearly see they don't want to talk about him.
They just talk a little and quickly about him, that's it.
They talk a lot about Mbappe who had a terrible fiasco tournament.
But wait and see God forbid if Lamin makes any mistakes all they talk about is how awful he is all day long and make as many videos as possible
Thanks Spain for saving the sport!
I heard a stat before the game, that no team has ever won their first 6 games in the Euros, until Espana today.
Even when they rested 10 players for the final group game, they still comfortably won.
They've looked the best footballing team from the get go & would be the most worthy winners of all worthy winners.

You can continue calling for Cucurella in every game as the Germans did today in the game against France, but that will not change the fact that the first one to hit the ball with his hand was the German striker, and the images are there to see why They are clear as day.
No matter if it's Netherlands or England that Spain play in the final they are winning it because they've past their toughest test which was Germany imo
Southgate luck will prevail
Not so fast. Games are meant to be played in the field , not in youtube comment sections.
You say that but anything can happen in football.
Football is played on grass, not on paper.
Only scenario Spain losing is the match going to a penalty shootout.
From tiki-taka to tiki -attacka
Spain defeated the NON-FRENCH
Closed mind?
I really miss you guys having some Spanish commentators during this Euro.
ESPN budget cuts are getting out of hand. Filming these segments on a Blackberry again.
It’s because it was live
@@mfjosh6422 Check out @ChiringuitoTvInside. They always stream online from a TV set in the Mediaset building and they output rock steady 1080p 60fps. This ESPN stream is just unwatchable.
Yamal shut Rabiot up the right way,by doing it on the pitch.Well done Spain,one more match for the trophy.Rodri was immense again,just like with City.
Though little known by most prior to his appointment I’ve been a fan of Luis De la Fuente for years - he’s been working (and winning) for the RFEF for over a decade with the youngsters, many of whom were in the team today. From Fabian, Unai, Cucu, Nico, Olmo, Merino, Gavi, Pedri and more, he’s had them all under his tutelage, winning or coming close to winning European championships, even a silver at the Japanese Olympics. They know what to expect from him, he knows how to get the best from them - all of his youth teams have been super competitive. Yet when he got the appointment for the job there was a lot of blowback from fans and press in Spain, most saying he’d never coached at the highest level thus not sufficiently qualified to take on La Selección. Meantime, the streamer, Luis Enrique, with his ridiculous lineups and super boring ultra tiki-taka was regularly called a "genius". Well, he, and his boys showed all and sundry what a real national team plays and looks like - one for all and all for one. Regardless of what happens on Sunday, in the eyes of many Spaniards, including this one, they’ve already won - if nothing else, we are back to having a team and a coach that are serious contenders in any tournament we play in. And with a budding superstar who’ll turn all of 17 years old the day before the Final, the future looks Golden.
Vamos España! Gracias Luis! Y gracias a todos esos chavales que se dejan la piel defendiendo nuestro escudo!
Let's be honest. France got this far by luck. Their luck finally ran out.
Oui oui monsieur, so true.
Au revoir 😅😅😅
What about spain? Handball fluke and were outshot last 2 games scoring a 1 in 30 wonderstrike
Well, we all knew they were fucked when they scored their first open goal. The no open goal luck ruined.
@Genevasplaytime With you I am going to do the same as with another misplaced person who repeats the same lie like a parrot over and over again. I see you crying in every comment with that play and I will repeat it to you as many times as necessary. The German striker is offside, but if you still have doubts, the German striker touches the ball with his biceps and that allows him to give the ball to Musiala. Even if Germany were the hosts, there is no reason to expect them to steal from the opposing team for their benefit. Despite the sibylline refereeing against Denmark, I have not seen the Danes cry over the game like some of you here are doing. They can continue to whistle at Cucurella in every game as the Germans did today in the game against France, but that will not change the fact that the first one to hit the ball with his hand was the German striker, and the images are there to see why They are clear as day. If you are German, stop making a fool of yourself, you seem like a fan of a small and complaining team, if you are not German, I am sorry that your team is already out of the tournament and that is frustrating you, and if you are English, if you can get to the final, we will see. Who's the best.
Spain is the King of European football. No one can match them, however you underestimate them they show they are the best both at club level and the National team.
And they can can't dominate in world cup and is your so called France and Germany that's representing Europe 😊
18:45 what a difference when Klinsmann talks
Football won today and the better team deserved to go through and they have to go on and win the EUROs now that they’re in the final. Despite France taking the lead early in the game finally scoring an actual goal from open play, it was inevitable that Spain were going to be the winners of this game. You never really believed that they actually had a chance to beat them. We’re talking about Spain the best team of the tournament who’ve been so dominant and they’ve played some brilliant attacking football up against a France team who prior to the game hadn’t scored a single goal from open play despite their solid defense meaning that you just knew that one team was going to win as these guys their luck was never sustainable and it was always going to run out because they hadn’t scored multiple goals in a game throughout this tournament.
After falling behind 1-0, Spain showed their resilience and already got the job done before half time after scoring twice in a couple of minutes where they were up 2-1. France threw everything at them as they had to do everything in their power to get back in the game, but their best was never good enough because Spain managed the game very well and they put in a defensive masterclass in the second half which was enough to secure this win which took them to the final. What’s impressive about this team is how everyone works together as a unit in a sense that whenever they lose the ball, everyone presses tracks back and wins possession and even the attackers there were moments where they had to help out in defense and to make everyone have to do a shift, this is great coaching combined with how exciting they are to watch with 2 direct and fast wingers and overall their style of play has evolved because they still do boast top class midfielders, but they don’t rely solely on their DNA and formula that worked in the 2010s where they were dominating international football for 4 years as they have a combination of tenacious and technical players and their profiles all complement each other so well and that’s part of why everything has clicked for them in this tournament and whether they play against England or the Netherlands in the final, those will be difficult games for them, but I hope they win for the sake of football.
ESPN commentators are so terrible. 1/2 hour talking about French shortfalls when they should have been speaking about a great team like Spain. So frustrating!
Spain is without a doubt the best team in the tournament, the only team that wants to play and go forward
Excellent first half very poor second half for both teams Spain deserve to win it. I believe best team of Euro 2024 Spain will win the final too.
Let me guess these bubbleheads are gonna be saying how many chances france lost, or how bad France played not how solid spain was, only Klinsmann did…Like they did when Germany lost.
France had chances. Not an easy game for Spain by any means. They struggled trying to control the game in the middle when they were ahead.
People don't understand football yamals goal was a 1 in 30 chance. Without that goal spain are deeply fucked. Against germany they were outplayed in all metrics and should have had a penalty given against them. Very fortunate despite their good play
@@Genevasplaytime Yes, but he made it, didn't he? And no, it was hardly a fluke.
I have seen him attempting these kind of goals, missed them for many times.
So yes, all of his trainings and attempts from outside range were only for this moment.
@Genevasplaytime There is no penalty, apart from the possible offside of the forward, the German uses his biceps to give the ball to Musiala. The referee touched his headset and the VAR confirmed that it was not a penalty, as the referee did not signal a penalty, the game did not stop and continued. The VAR never stops the game to say that the referee got a play right, stop inventing, it is clear that the German player benefits from touching the ball with his biceps before leaving the ball to musiala, you can review it as many times as you want because it is clearly seen.
@@christinemurray1444 No they didn't!
Come July 14 SPAIN will officially become the most SUCCESSFUL TEAM in the European Championship with 4 TITLES! Spain is the "4" in 2024!
It is funny watching Loboeuf speaking about strange Spanish names in the Spanish team when 90% of the French team come from their colonial heritage in Africa
In the last 10 years or so france reached WC finals twice,1 EURO final and 1 semis,thry lose today and they're suddenly bad,Dischamps "Suddenly sucks".
Lmao. No. We suck! This is football. Sometimes we win Sometimes we lose
Spain Vs Georgia still the best match of this Euros. Both teams attacked from start to finish.
No. That was a total domination from Spain
Georgia barely touched the ball.
As long as England doesn’t make it into final, I’ll be happy
I hope , the Netherlands go all the way
We all
Know England going to the Final
Yes we all want that Spain and Netherlands rematch from 2010 World Cup
@@VonTaylanEngland are beating you lot.
England lives rent free in your head doesn't it?
The only reason you don't want England in the final is because the closer they get to winning a trophy the more likely it is you won't be able to s**t on them anymore.
You're scared that if they do win that you're going to get back the DECADES of s**t you've been dishing out to them.
Yeah incredible Spain squad looks balanced in all aspects, the best team actually in this tournament and they actually deserves to win it
Everyone is talking about Yamal, but Olmo is playing incredible an incredible tournament(, yes he is 10 years older i get that).
Absolutely deserved win for Spain, the best team in the tournament. France doesn't even belong in the semi's, that XI the manager put tells you everything.
I think the Spanish manager needs some credit, very pro active
Spain will definitely win this Euros they are heads and shoulders above Everyone else. Germany vs Spain was a true classic and disappointing it wasn't a final
I dont know why people surprised that france are out. France not even supposed to be there at this stage. There were lucky all along. Imagine tu primero gol is at the semi finals. Imagine that. Smh. Well done spain.👍👏💯
Spain 2-1 Africa
You need to get out more!
@@gerryclarke9795 you have to wake up
Yamal is African too then right? And Williams. But if you said that to Spaniards they will eat you alive. Such hypocrisy
Imagine an English 16-year-old scoring a goal like this in the semi-finals of the European Championship this English pundit would be talking about until your ears are gone for years to come.
Even when asked about Lamin throughout the tournament they tried to avoid praising him,
you can clearly see they don't want to talk about him.
They just talk a little and quickly about him, that's it.
Lamin Yamal broke so many records already last one be the one he broke to night youngest ever scora in Europe Champion
Euros 2024. Semi-final against France. What a goal. What a player
They talk a lot about Mbappe who had a terrible fiasco tournament.
But wait and see God forbid if Lamin makes any mistakes all they talk about is how awful he is all day long and make as many videos as possible
Spain is the new Brazil in terms of football. That electric style of play is so much like Prime Brazil with Pele but with that European precision and accuracy. Mark my words. LAMAL IS THE NEXT 🐐😤🙏💯
Don't exaggerate much, they got outplayed by Germans, only luck didn't seem to go their way.
@@thepretorian5292 No they didn't, Spain best side in the tournament by far Germany second!
Spanish players are in general underrated but how badly nacho is underrated is absolutely nuts. I honestly think he’s the most underrated player in history
With any luck The Netherlands will beat England.
Spain v Netherlands might be a match worth watching unlike a match involving France or England.
Spain are gonna humiliate England
As long as netherlands play football and not karate
¡El 14 de julio ESPAÑA se convertirá oficialmente en el EQUIPO MÁS EXITOSO del Campeonato de Europa con 4 TÍTULOS! ¡España es el "4" en 2024!
Only 2 teams played good football, spain and Germany, the rest of the matches were disappointing
You can’t stop Spain. 🇪🇸💪🏻
Southgate will beat them!
@@clarencegaultieri8293 Sure, bozo!
Lamine Yamal by inches he almost scored a second majestic goal like the first one…imagine if that shot also went in, that would’ve been ridiculous.
....inches???
Wow, I would love to be able to apply your version of measurements!!!
@@alfredrutz7830 that ball went past the goal by 30-40 inches my friend. I’m sorry that you can’t measure in inches. It was a close shot, a little lower and that would’ve been another screamer.
Congratulations, Spain! 🇪🇦
As a Spanish Person we Can Say Spain will rule Europe for the next Decade 🇪🇸
Spain are absolutely gonna dominate world football for years to come.
This is such a young team and lets not forget this team is still some key players like Gavi, Balde.
Plus guys like Fermin and of course Cubarsi who looks absolute beast of a cb and a perfect fit in the team cause his passing is great.
And above all they have a clear plan to execute with quality players. Sacry!!!!!!!!
LAMINE YAMAL scores a screamer in a EURO semi final.
ESPN FC: Kylian Mbappe
“Disappointed by the performance” lol this is the only game where France scored a goal from open play. This is who they have been the entire tournament. Spain are just that good
Spain is the new " Brazil " pure class confident together play group football, ovrrated Mbappe showed his true colours, always building up egos, for these guys, when they clearly, are not all that they get found out eventually, viva le Espana 🐥⚽️
I honestly never rated mbappe as much as a lot of people do. The guy has been blessed to be around top class players the minute he switched to PSG. At Monaco I feel like he had the right to be praised, he was young and that team were full of young rising stars. But after that with France and PSG he’s had world class players around him to make him look better. He’s been playing in Ligue 1, that league outside of PSG are full of basically part time footballers. He hasn’t brought anything to PSG that they weren’t doing before he got there, and now that he sees he can’t get them to new heights he wants to join b Madrid bc he needs them now.
Olmo control ohh so gud
For me he is the revelation of the Euro. I already knew Lamine, but Olmo is an amazing surprise.
So glad the terrible to watch for 6 years France has been dumped out. All that talent just to play defensive
Actually they really didn't play defense just play not to lose football.
The so called talent is just overrated. They run fast but lack technical skills
They were not so bad to watch last world cup
@julio They were it showed in the final against Argentina strada3111
@@julioestrada3111I mean they sat back the whole game against Argentina in the final untill Kylian turned it around in the last minutes.
