England Vs. Spain

[St Pauli]

Here we go!

[Winston Biscuit]

ICH!

[Franchise FC]

ICH for me whatever the result

[Snowflake Royal]

Obviously second favourites here. Spain have been by far the best from the start.

[NathStPaul]

If we get there and give it a good go and come up short to the best side in the tournament I won't have any complaints. I think we can all be quite relaxed on Sunday.

We are higher ranked than Spain so not quite sure how the bookies are pricing this. They're obvs gonna put Spain as favs

Spain clearly have a favourite’s chance on what we’ve seen, but weight of money might dictate otherwise at the bookies.

[St Pauli]

Absolutely mental that anyone thinks England will beat Spain. IMO Spain are the stand out team of the whole tournament.

That said it is football so England could get lucky and win it.

Imagine if we were watching Rugby, or Basketball. We’d be completely f/cked.

Get your head out of computer stats and watch some games.

This tournament will completely change the rankings.

Plus literally no-one pays any creed to the rankings unless they want to make a, usually negative, point. The rankings can and have been gamed by many a nation.

[Sutekh]

After not conceding in the group games, Spain have leaked a goal in each of the knockout rounds. Germany ran them the closest in those games by getting to extra time so would suggest England need to look at the German approach and adapt from that game in some way to at least give Spain a hard time.

For the record the Spanish line up in the semis was

GK Simón
RB Navas
CB Nacho
CB Laporte
LB Cucurella
CM Rodri
CM Ruiz
RW Yamal
AM Olmo
LW Williams
CF Morat

Wonder if German fans will generally support England?

it's not how it works m8.

The rankings will change throughout the tournament. We dropped a place behind Brazil following Copa America match

Most German fans I know have had England as their second team - now whether that is a general feeling or simply because I'm friends with them - who knows.

'Giving it a good go' is surely the best way to lose 4-0?

If we win it, it will surely be because we've packed the midfield, stifled the game, and nicked one? We aren't going to out-Spain, Spain.

Spain currently broadly 4/6, England 6/5.
