EPL C is beckonin

deschrunner-up

How the heck do you make a team with Morata look offensively capable?
———————————-
This is a really stupid thing to say, isn’t it?

Spain would have been happier not to go 1-0 down and play the game at their own pace. That may seem an obvious statement but they are clearly a possession team happy to play a long (time not ball) game but as soon as France scored they were immediately able to step it up to another level before reverting back and seeing it out.

A lot of parallels with the English approach but with more skill and success. Expect a similar game tonight and let's hope the Dutch score first.

This

"If Lamine Yamal wants to reach EURO Final, he needs to show much more than he has up to now."

- Adrien Rabiot, in the build up to the Spain-France match

"Move in silence, only speak when it is time to say checkmate"

- Lamine Yamal, in the build up to the Spain-France match

"Talk now."

Lamine Yamal, after the Spain-France match


Pretty fitting that it was Rabiot who Yamal's dummy sent for cigarettes in the build-up to his goal.

Shoulder shrugging surrender cants

Fair play to the young fellah what makes me laugh is imagining myself getting interviewed by the press at that age what my responses would have been? ,laugh>

Indeed - at 16 I was kind of shy and lacking confidence.

Unless I had a drink in me!

At 16, I wouldn't even trust myself in an interview, never mind to the media...

Move in silence, only speak when it is time to say checkmate"

No way Yamal said that surely. At 16 he is that wise. Wtf!!

It's a borrowed quote
