Football is not mathematics.

You need combination of mother luck and efficiency on the field to become a champion.
Yeah? How come out of the whole world the same few teams everyone said would remain remain. Why didn't luck make Iraq be among them?

France will easily beat Spain
Drop that word "easily".

It will be a tight cage fight between two gladiators.

May the better side win...

It can go either way.

Let's look at their scores (Morocco is also 3-0 except Mbape missed penalty)

France:
Against Senegal (3-0), Iraq (3-0), Sweden (3-0), Paraguay (1-0), and Morocco (3-0).

Spain:
Against Belgium (2-1), Portugal (1- 0), Cape Verde (1-0) Saudi Arabia (4-0), Uruguay (1-0)

Do you see a pertern here?
In other words France knows how to score goals.

France would have handed Belgium 3-0

U right. It was 0-0.

Spain has a peculiar way of wearing down the teams they play against. They are not a high scoring side but they know how to win games.

We saw this at the last euros they won. They weren't free scoring but they won their games through careful tactics.

I see spain edging France.

France squad has more depth and ferocious attack than any team in the World Cup but this Spanish team are no left over. France cannot convincingly or comprehensively as put it defeat this Spanish team. The only problem with this Spanish team is lack of a deadly striker like Haaland, false 9 like Mbappe. Also, they don’t shoot too
If not that Belgium players don't have sense how could Spain that was playing nonsense against Portugal beat Belgium

It boils down to scoring goals. France has 2 or 3 players who can curve ball into the net from a distance (like Messi). There is no way to defend against that. That's why they are high-scoring. Spain doesn't have that. That's why they couldn't score against Belgium despite having the ball constantly.

Spain grinds out their matches. They will do so to France.

They won't allow France play their free scoring game, that's why I see a Spanish win.

But on this occasion the ball didn't bounce in front of him but went straight to his chest, he was about using his two hands to cover the ball and then fumble, and again his reflexes to go for the rebound was too slow
You are 100% spot on

No mind man u fans defending him

He was trying catch the ball and he fumbled

He he punched it side ways, the goal wouldn't have gone in.

He caused Belgium loss.

Thst lammens is so overated

I wonder how man u fans say he is better than onana

There is no allow to it. France has some players who can try to score from a distance. Eventually they'll get lucky. There's no way to defend against that

Don't mind them, I am a die hard United fan myself. But truth be told, Lammens hasn't impressed me like that.
Man United fans complaining of Onana shipping in goals forgets the defense was our undoing.
Most didn't know Lammens shipped in goals as much as Onana two seasons ago, but bcus our strikers did exceptionally this past season to cover Lammens conceeding of goals. It's only Arsenal and City that outscored Man United last season.
.
So that scoring from us covers Lammens conceeding. How many clean sheets did he even kept?
If not for sentiment, I will take Onana anytime anyday until another good keeper better than both of them.

For your information, Spain has only been scored against once in this competition and that was against Belgium.

I supported Belgium last night but the luckies team Spain won the match. Spain were even wiling to score more goals after the last whistle.... My face just went blur.

Spain should work on their finish, too much unnecessary passes, they would have scored up to 4 goals today if they were shooting but everybody wants to pass to Lamine Yamal when they could clearly see that he’s heavily tackled 🤦🏻‍♂️
Portugal mute the group chat.

Cristiano Ronaldo that wasn't heavily marked didn't see much of the ball but he received a sizable chunk of the blame, I hope Bruno is seeing this after people dragged him on X after their exit.

Who conducted the poll for what the whole world said?

Would you have guessed Cape Verde would progress further than Germany?

Would you have guessed Brazil would be knocked out by Norway?

Would you have guessed Uruguay would be knocked out at the group stage while Cape Verde made it out from the same group?

Would you have guessed Congo would stretch England?

Come on! Opportunist? That can only come from a hater or a pained gambler whose ticket got cut.

Brilliant positioning is not something every player is good at. It's not coincidence that he scored the winning goal against Portugal, too.

There's a reason why Arteta had to convert him from a defensive midfielder to striker. He must have seen something in him.

So, be calming down.

There are always outliers and Cinderellas but you don't bet based on that.
Besides, after Cape Verde first match where they equalized Spain, there is recaliberation

England is not their mate.
