because the bookies understand 1: Their defence is impenetrable. Defence wins your tournaments. its a knock out competition, its not about winning pretty, you justhave to win. France have always focused on their defence first, and theyve reached 3 of their 4 last major competition finals winning 2 of them, the one final they didnt manage to reach.... another defensive team (Italy) won it. 2.Mix that with a midfield that can go toe to toe with anyone, an attack which consists of the worlds best player, a manager and a squad full of players have been in finals before with LOTS of experience... you have a team than can win against anyone. why do you think they have already faced 3 top oppositions in Holland/Belgium/Portugal and still advancing ? lol its not pretty to watch but defence wins tournaments.

[@doppeltkohlensaures]

Kroos destroyed Pedri (who wasn't 100% to begin with) and didn't even get a yellow, so he had the option of committing a flagrant foul later by yanking Olmo back when he was heading towards a one-on-one with Neuer. Kroos couldn't have done that if he had received the first yellow when he so deserved it, when he killed Pedri. On the other hand, Kroos did Spain a favor because Olmo was fantastic.

[@alyjandro]

Don’t forget, Germany tries to play a nasty game and fought to force themself to win this match. Spain knew it from the matches before and accepted the German's game and joined in. Spain has the quality to finish any game for their favor, because they are skilled with and WITOUT the ball. At the end Spain got a lucky ending.

[@donviajero2580]

I was marveling the entire game at the way Kroos was committing one foul and the other and the ref simply ignored it until he finally committed a foul that couldn't be ignored.

To me, the real shocking one was the "foul" on Oyarzabal just out of the penalty box in Extra Time. He literally pushed him with both hands and Taylor didn't call it.

If you only decide the game in the 119th minute without creating the better scoring chances, you don't have to say that you were much better. Both teams were on an equal footing and played a good game. As a German, I enjoyed watching this game and I wish there were more games at this level during this European Championship. The referee let a few things slide on both sides, but overall it was okay for me. For me personally, Germany had to many unnecessary fouls in the beginning and Spain were crying too much. Toni Kroos should have gotten a yellow early on, but he would take care after that and avoid a second yellow, so one shouldn't assume he should get a red. Btw I didn't care about the penalty, Havertz should have taken his 100% chance.

It is probably the best national team today and will go very far. However, I would not trade with the Spanish and here is why: Spain is the first country that turn into a huge dessert within the next 20 years due to global warming. (just read the predictions in the WTO Global climate Report) While Germany will still enjoy its forests, agriculture and clear water, most of Spain will become inhabitable with temperatures reaching 60 degrees during day time. Just like big chunks of northern Africa. That scenario is only 20 years away.

[@unfixablegop]

Frank Leboeuf is exactly right on the (non-)penalty. "Intention" is the only way to justify not giving it, but intention is just what they tried to get rid off with the rule changes. The real problem is the varying standards within the same tournament. If this was no penalty then Germany should not have been awarded a penalty against Denmark either. Just declare defeat on handball rules then and go back to intention.

[@abongilezolanipeterson5588]

The issue is not intention but whether your arm was in a natural position or not. That is what the rule looks at. You can have absolutely no intention whatsoever but if you hand was high up in the air or it was wide from your body then it’s a penalty. If your arm is next to your body, in other words, a natural position of where your arm should be, then obviously can’t give a penalty for that. If we gave penalties for that, it would mean that the rule book is required to pretend that humans do not have arms on their bodies. You can imagine how unrealistic that rule would be then.

[@luistorrent4905]

It was offside

[@lisaruhm6681]

But the issue with "intention" here is, at the start Cucurella has both arms out wide, but when he moves, he only moves his right arm towards his body and keeps his left arm out, which then hits the ball and blocks a shot on goal.

If you do not believe this, answer me this: why do defenders place their hands behind their back when defending inside the box? If it's good enough to just put them at their side they would do that.

@@JosesAmazingWorlds no, i watched it over and over again in german Television. The UEFA would release the video when it were offside or handball just to get the Ref out of the discussion. Wasnt offside and wasnt a clear handball. Stop making wrong statements to prove your point. Congrats to spain, but it should have been a penalty.

I am proud of the German team. Nagelsmann lifted the team to a higher level for the tournament. Yesterday's game was tough: Spain was better the first 70 minutes, then Germany was clearly better, including overtime. The non-call on the handball leaves a better aftertaste. There should be consequences for the ref. It was clear that the arm position was neither natural, nor was it inadvertent. The player looked at the ball, and pull back the other arm quickly, while the crucial one still stuck out.

Have to disagree with the suggestion that Pedri having to go off today means he is fragile Anyone who takes a horror challenge on his standing leg and has a knee hyperextends is going to go off every time. The knee joint does not bend backwards Oh by the way, how in the world was that not at least a yellow?? Whiskey tango foxtrot.

Probably because the contact itself is harmless if Pedri would wear shinpads, as it’s demanded by the rules. He probably uses tiny ones. That’s why Kroos isn’t on the ground in pain. I could imagine Kroos realised that and went in that way. Certainly not sportsmanlike but quite smart.

Kroos deserved 2 red cards in this game
