    He's brutal isn't he....he's the kind of guy that might shine when the team is on top and running rampant...even then you aren't so sure....

    That rolling around like you were shot doesn't endear you to a team. Should be a bookable offence or actually shoot the eegit

    Maybe just with a pellet gun and only in glutes and after the game in a controlled environment.

    2 - 1 is the most dangerous of leads yhey say....

    A game broke out in the first half, it's kind of being played at Frances pace now.

    Although at least they look like they've ran out of ideas for the moment

    France are coming on strong but Jaysus do Spain have some pace on the break. This could go to the whole way I think. Two good sides

    I see Maloney get praised for his GAA commentary, maybe his style is better suited to a faster more frenetic sport.

    It might work better in that context, but he seems to blather nonsense constantly when commentating on soccer. Some fear of dead air or something.

    And I often get the sense that he can't get the true feel of what's happening on the pitch.

    Good enough. France dont deserve to get to the final. They've stunk out the tournament for the vast majority of their matches.

    All the substitutions seemed to unbalance them.

    Glad it's Spain. Not only are they the better team but if England jam their way through, they'll hammer them.

    Deschamps reminds me of Alan Pardew.

    Spain do deserve to get to the final, they have been the best team. They'd be red hot favourites on Sunday.

    France very underwhelming throughout the tournament.

    McGregor has a €80k odd bet on Spain to win outright, he stands to get a million if they win on Sunday.
