Congratulations to Spain for an excellent/entertaining tournament! They are molding talent the right way and are a great side to watch. In the modern game they have blended beautiful fluid football with success and that is not an easy task. Julen made an excellent choice starting Morata as his off the ball movement and workrate was the difference in this match. Montoya was an absolute beast in all areas of the pitch!
MotFinal = Thiago
Led by example and displayed his talent though out the tournament. He played the Xavi role against Russia but clearly he has a lot more to his game and shouldn't be limited. I hope Tito/management paid attention to this tournament to see the quality our youth players have. They could learn a thing or 2 tactically as well.
Fine. I'll let you drown in your own ignorance.
It was a clear penalty as Donati may have got the ball first, but his follow through took out Tello's legs (trip) taking away any chance of Tello turning around and regaining control of the ball close-by. Meaning he stopped a clear goal scoring opportunity. It would have been different if Donati's challenge cleared the ball away from Tello's reach.
