The Kid is special

This lad could be something exceptionally special

Suberb goal

Mars Bar

That is ballsy as ****. What a finish

trashcan

Brilliant. Come on Spain. Don’t agree they hadn’t been in it.

Olmo !!!!!! 2-1. Fantastic.

archfi

Spain on fire!

Luckily I think France can be too

sligeach

And just like that, Spain are 2-1 up. Olmo did very well, but it'll probably go down as an own goal.

I think it should be Olmo's goal, it was on target, and all the defender could do was turn it in.

Fair fooks to Spain. Two brilliant goals

Xander10

Dick phelan

What a game so far

sonic85

Lovely bit of skill there from Olmo - 3 goals in 25 minutes - keep it up lads!

McDermotX

Poor from Saliba on the initial clearance..

If you throw enough ****, some of it will stick.

Incredible turnaround. This is what previous Spanish teams were missing, that ability to respond quickly and directly.

Mars Bar

Mbappe must be looking forward to playing with Yamal next season

~Rebel~

Olmo deserves to be credited with that one… looked like it was probably on target anyway, and was so brilliant from him.

Zeek12

Olmo once again having a great tournament for Spain.

Wonder if a really big club will move for him this summer?

Great game

Mars Bar

Hernandez was intending on more damage there than he managed.

Thought the same and thought it very cowardly. Hopes he gets what’s coming to him

Wikipedia staying Yamals father is Irish? Can we have him?

Edit - someone must have been messing!

His father is Irish, his mother is Equatoguinean.

Neither a football stronghold 🤣

With or against. Mbappe will be with Real, Yamal is Barca?

ShamoBuc

Olmo getse credited with the goal, deserved.

Would the goal happen to be Olmo ?

You’d have to be of a certain age !

cmac2009

Such a relief to have a decent quality game for a change.

NIMAN

Would be a real shame if this Spain team didn't make the final. And indeed win it.

They have entertained in every game.

Would be bad for football if France or England win it. It would be a reward for boring us senseless.

Got away with it, as unexplicably did Nacho, smashing Kolo Muani's head into the ground.

Can't understand why France aren't playing down the left constantly. All of us can see it, and they can't ???

~Rebel~

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/122360574#Comment_122360574

Yeah, really hoping for a Spain Netherlands final, with Spain winning it out. France and England don't deserve a final appearance.

Great managing to take Navas off

The tournament of the pitch invaders, ridiculous stuff.

Hernandez/Leao down the left was pretty much Milan's only tactic and it got them to a champions league semi final.

Hernandez/M'Bappe should be very dangerous.

HalloweenJack

I know Rodri's name has been mentioned quite a bit but his instincts are incredible. Seems to have a great footballing brain to make instantly good decisions.

Zeek12

Spain dropping off too much this half, they need to be careful, Inviting France on.

The Golden Miller

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/122360645#Comment_122360645

Brahim Diaz was more important in that Champions League run imo. Linked it up and brought Leao into the game more. He's struggled a bit since Diaz left

breezy1985

Thats some set of subs to bring on for France.

HalloweenJack

Have a feeling that France passing it around the back is going to catch them out at some point.

~Rebel~

Barcola and Griezman nice changes to be able to make in attack. Camavinga an improvement on Rabiot too.

Francie Barrett

Great game after all the dross served up so far. Can't see the winner of this getting beat in the final.

~Rebel~

Barcola looking electric, doing some of the stuff we'd have expected from Mbappe.

Zeek12

A few tired bodies out there for Spain, which isn’t surprising. They had a tough QF. Pace of their play has dropped off. They need a change in midfield

~Rebel~

Spain need to be careful here not to fall too much into possession at all costs… have spurned a few great attacking positions in favour of turning back and recycling it. If the chance is there to get a 3rd, they should go for it (like Yamal did a minute ago).

sligeach

If Yamal had got that shot on target, it was all over. Maignan was rooted to the spot. Similar effort to his earlier goal.
