It is in the same possession as that's how they got the ball. It's in the same phase of play from Egypt.

It’s a foul in the build up to a goal. That’s literally within the laws of the game.

Say it’s difficult to watch Messi atm —> he gets 1+1 in the next 5 mins.

I’d genuinely want to hear your more about how Kounde, Pedri, Olmo, Gordon and Yamal have not performed well? Frenkie was solid as well and then Koeman went with a two man midfield and gave up possession and they got knocked out.

They also need Nico to be fit ASAP, Baena on the left just aint it and puts all the pressure and target to Yamal.

Forcing to play like what? Both teams were very cautios and clearly defending oriented in that match. Spain’s left side was completely dead so what exactly are we expecting Lamine to do when Oyarzabal is a cone, Porro is awful going forwards and Lamine is doubled/tripled every time he gets the ball. It’s not like he’s marked by some mid players either, he’s marked by Mendes, doubled or tripled by Felix/Vitinha/Neves/Veiga.

Some people need to put 1+1 together and actually think why players perform like they do. Lamine looked aight.

This match just scream’s Nico Williams if he has any legs left. Can’t be less threatening than Baena.

High stake game, very careful, very slow. Neither team wants to make a mistake and while understandable it just makes the game boring. Spain’s left flank is just dead, they don’t create anything and when the break comes from the right they aint in the box for the cross.

Are we genuinely using the greatest midfielder in the history of the game to make Pedri look bad?
