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.

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.

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.

[@finfiv]

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.

[@TheMiamiUte]

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.

They have lost pretty good players for the Half Final against France.

I would say Spain played better the first 55-60 minutes and then Germany played better the following 60 minutes. A more fair result would have been 2-2 and go to pks. On the contrary, Germany played very violently, and the ref allowed too many tackles which ended in several players getting injured.

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.

That is simply not true. If the player has done all he can to get the arm/hand out of the way but simply can't because he doesn't have time then it does not neccessarily have to be a penalty.

The amount of fouls commited by Germany that should have been yellow cards by the 20th minute is ridiculous.

Spain was an embarassement. -Went on playing twice when German players were injured -Nacho acting like Wirtz broke his nack when he didn't even touch him -Carvajal Just tearing Musiala down in the 120 knowing that getting send off wouldn't get him suspended -The non given Penalty I forgot another thing or two. Was just to much to remember.

Whatever makes you feel better, buddy. You can have the "I deserved to win" medal if you want. At the end of every competition, every fan has that for their team, because their team is always the one treated unfairly and the one that should have won but didn't because Mars was in retrograde with Mercury on a Thursday while wearing red underwear on the moth of Shamain.

@@JackDespero Did I say anything about Germany? Nope. I just said Spain is a dirty team regardless of the result people should be supprting the French over them. And since non of the Things I listed was made up you can't say anything about it.
