But committed an unnecessary and ugly foul at the end - the victim was Pedri.

I see one complication: if Belgium reaches the Final, KDB could be a candidate. He was injured in the CL final, was Man City's best player but taken out by R?diger and therefore unable to win. Belgium could go far.

this whole Euro tournament is boring. 4 goals France -Portugal, 3 of them penalties. And Germany unwatchable.

Sweden's best players have recently be immigrants: Zlatan, Isak. There are a few exceptions of really homegrown players like Kevin de Bruyne, Lewandowski, Ronaldo, Kimmich, ... Still, as athletic qualities will be more important in the future, it will help to have more players with African...

What is the story behind the move from Argentina to Brazil? Was it just COVID, is the COVID situation in Brazil really better? Or is there politics involved? I thought playing the Copa in ARG would help Messi, but now he will again have an uphill battle against Neymar"s Brazil.

Interesting observation: European NT's of countries that had African colonies are at an advantage. Where would France an Belgium be without?

surprising to see how he caused today's penalty - with all his experience and responsibilty as captain. He looked better when supporting the attack. He also has a decent shot.

not a bad team at all!

Spain was not boring, all they need is a goal scorer. Sweden is indeed a boring team. Scoring goals is the big missing part of Euro 2020/21.

Very disappointing to watch Euros. Something needs to be done to make attacking football successful again. Defensive teams are setting the tone. Worst so far was Swedish team that earned a scoreless draw, but even France was no fun to watch.

Why are you trying to be mean?

I watched part of the game (first half and final 15 minutes) and can tell that it was a good match, well played by both teams. Argentina should have won based on ball possession and chances to score. Messi played very well, trying hard to keep the ball, staying on the right wing, and passing the...

As to Gundogan, he got a yellow card in the first half and may have been less effective because of it. If he had played a more offensive role from the beginning, he probably had avoided the yellow.

Why did Pep play without a defensive midfielder, did he explain? Was it because he had lost 2 times in a row against Chelsea and tried to do something different?

Not according to Swedish media before the final that was played in Gothenburg. Chelsea had 3 Swedish players and they claimed to have a "home advantage". They had respect for Bar?a's strong offense but thought they were physically stronger. Bar?a surprised them during the first 30 minutes.

Interesting that Chelsea had both the men's and the women's teams in the CL final. The ladies were favorites but lost 4:0 (to Bar?a). The men were underdogs but won.

This is the second CL Final that was decided by an ugly foul committed by a strong and dirty defensive player. Sergio Ramos did it to Salah in 2018 and R?diger did it to KDB yesterday. In both cases the defensive player continued playing while the losing team's best player was out and severely...

Probably the prime reason that Chelsea won. More important than Tuchel.

Kun had one opportunity to score from a difficult angle but he chose to cross the ball without getting it past the Chelsea GK. He should have tried to shoot, at least it could have been a last Hurrah ...

was it part of Tuchel's strategy to put best ManCity player out of action, without a red card?
