Second half was a lot better than the first.

I haven't felt sad for a German loss since like 2018, the "Mannschaft" was so unlikeable at times. But this time I am actually sad. It feels now we finally have a team again. They won me over. The tournament probably was two years too early for them (despite the average age of the players is kind of high, I believe I read that somewhere). They missed a lot of very good chances in this game and a championship team just makes one or two more goals in this game. In the end, you get punished for this by actual championship teams, and that kind of happened with the last goal. The handball though... I absolutely cannot believe that he did not even look at this. So many horrible penalties for really stupid handballs that don't really do anything... but this one is a shot on target and the arm is not even close to the body. That is just bonkers. If that was indeed a correct call, the technicalities of this rule are just stupid. Spain indeed looks vulnerable and beatable. On a sidenote: there is some people with horrible posts in this thread. It was a blast following what most of you wrote, but man, there is some exceptions. This pretty much, especially the bolded | ||

Dembele really infused France and brought them a lot of energy. He is doing a great job so far. Unfortunately. | ||

Dembele is such a frustrating player to watch, always beats 2-3 defenders with ease and elegance then shoots in the parking lot | ||

France Portugal was boring, but both teams are very strong defensively. I hope we get an early goal from Spain-France, or else I think France might succeed in turning that into a snoozefest as well. Gotta say that while Ronaldo's tournament was very disappointing and he's finally showing his age, Pepe playing like this at 41 is impressive as hell. A couple occasions where he's been exposed on speed but he's also played with incredible smartness. Never pictured myself saying anything positive about him, tbh, but to me he's been Portugal's best player. And even for a defender, that's practically unheard of at 41. I guess Maldini retired at 41, too, dunno to what degree he saw a dip in form at the end. | ||

Zzzzz. I had hoped for some keeper heroics at least on the penalties but even those were boring, with 8 excellent penalties and Felix hitting the post. E: and yeah, agree with Drone about Pepe. | ||
