They've looked pretty comfortable to me.

France were certainly unable to trouble them. But Spain were not as good as in the first half,

France closed them down somewhat in the second half, but have had problems scoring in the whole tournament.

Surely the French can find a more attacking coach than Deschamps. He's done very well with them in multiple tournaments, but they really should be performing better up front with the sort of attackers they have available.

They’ll have their suspended defence back for the final.

Don’t forget the last WC final. Three all, loads of chances missed by both teams. Mbappe hatrick.

Swap ‘French’ for ‘English’ and ‘Deschamps’ for ‘Southgate’

Commentary mentioned another 'wonderkid' who will likely be a fixture in the side by the next World Cup. Pau Cubarsi is a 17 year old centre-back who already has three caps for Spain and 20 Barca appearances to his name. A 6ft tall unit, and still growing. Where do they find these players?! :lol:

Assuming his trajectory doesn't change, Lamine Yamal will be around his peak at the 2038 World Cup. :D

Enjoyed the game last night, could have been a few more goals. I think Spain will beat whomever gets through tonight though.

From a GK perspective, I thought Simon could have done better with the French goal, seemed to give up on it early, but with a dive could probably have got there.

Goalkeeper analysis is difficult because you know what is going to happen, which the keeper doesn't

i.e. you know it was going to his left, he doesn't

Obvious bait aside, he was awful last night (excellent cross for the goal aside)

Spanish had an overload on the right hand side all the first half and he had zero interest in helping his full back

Talent goes a long way in football but mentality and attitude are as important
