How about no? Soft contact like that shouldnt be called.
Lewa is just great in the air, he is scoring most headers in the last few seasons for a reason.

Gotta agree. If you call this, you gotta call every single corner kick ever. This was just too weak for anything, defender just got done.

Not sure what's going through Lucho's mind sticking with a Rodri-Koke-Pedri while having Thiago on the bench.Not to mention having Morata as your starter.

Said it was a push, didn't say it was a foul. Nudge is a better word then.

But what I am saying is that if he done it at the point of making the header with Laporte contesting, that the ref probably would have called it.

Any push that should get called in these instances should be with two hands. You can't generate enough force standing still with just one hand from a close distance except if the defender is soft as a daisy or has a tendency to fall to get soft calls.

Not gonna lie, Lucho looking like a fraud.

The exclusion of RM players, especially Ramos, is mind boggling. Even at 35-36, Ramos is levels above Laporte or Torres.

He's clueless tbh. You pick Madrid players because they are mentally tougher having played so many games at the top. He fielded the softest, mentally weakest team possible. There's not one captain-like figure on the pitch.

Tbf Lucho was always like this. Stubborn af, always wanting to stand out and make his own decisions, often something controversial.

I actually like this Spain side inspite of the two scorelines. They are doing alot correct, creating alot, having good possession and closing quickly.

While giving up good chances to top strikers in Lewa and Isak, who will create a chance or two against any side on their day.

There's alot there that if they convert their chances or get a win to build confidence then they can have a run.

The tournament isn't won in the group stage, and with the new rules it isn't really lost either.

To be honest I can get behind Sweden and Slovakia advancing as top 2 and Spain getting knocked out from 3rd. Neither of these sides has any business in the knockouts
