La España que tuvo 9 jugadores de La Liga en el equipo titular le ganó a la Inglaterra que tuvo 9 jugadores de Premier League. Futbol vs Rugby Y casualmente los dos mejores de Inglaterra son los unicos que juegan en La Liga 😂🤣

Lamine Yamal is the difference, of course. he’s the best player in the world. but it’s so funny to tweet this and then watch England get taken apart by Baena and Oyarzabal in the second-half. 😂
Spanish football is exaggerated & ‘control’ it’s all down to having Yamal/Nico W (lesser extent) to be able to turn it into a threat. Apart from that it’s passing in your own half . The attack is the reason they are good. If this same team had Baena/Oyarzabal they would be mid

Flick supo encajar a la perfección a Pedri y Rodri desde el primer minuto y el Barça es una máquina de jugar y marcar goles. De La Fuente lleva años en la selección y sigue sin saber colocarlos sobre el terreno de juego y que brillen los dos. Pero bueno, que juegue Fabián. Mejor para el Barça.

Didn’t you see Kane’s goal vs Heidenheim 2 weeks ago ??
Yamal is clearly the best player on this pitch by a huge margin

Cagadas de Nico Williams, Ferran Torres y Marc Cucurella. De lo que se libró el Barça. Eso pasa por poner a estos muertos en lugar de Fermín, Oyarzabal y Xavi Espart.

Spain win semi-comfortably. England had a great little patch either side of half-time, taking advantage of Cucurella mistakes to score. but the truth is Cubarsi and Laporte were rarely troubled and if Spain had a striker worth a damn they’d have been out of sight within 30 mins.

Harry “Ballon d’Or” Kane played a stinker, missed a pen and got subbed off with England chasing a goal?????????????? 😂 don’t ever insult football by saying this fella is the best player in the world. he’s not that guy.

Jude and (especially) Gordon have been great for England. not sure why Tuchel is taking Gordon off instead of Saka who has been poor, but let’s see!

appreciate O’Reilly fouling Lamine there. he’s been getting dogged all game and knows he has to do this again with the kid in the Champions League. has to let Lamine know he’s no bitch lol.

Lamine Yamal’s pressing has led to both Spain goals. lovely pass from Olmo and Baena justifies his entrance ahead of Fermin!

the day Lamine Yamal masters the near-post finish is the day his goalscoring takes a genuine leap into the stratosphere.

Oyarzabal on for Ferran is good. good Nico went off too he’s been terrible, I’d have brought Fermin on instead of Baena tho. let’s see.

Jude is already falling before any contact, but there is contact and Rodri doesn’t get the ball. it’s a pen.

They’re doing everything in their power to silence or punish anyone who speaks out in support of Palestine, but it won’t work. They’ve lost the information war, and no amount of intimidation will stop people from speaking the truth.
Azeez Al-Shaair was told by an NFL to remove the name of Wafaa Akila Palestinian girl killed in by Israel from his eye black or he will be expelled from playing

Glad we have Raphinha as our striker man. They compare Lamine’s assists with Olise’s when this is what Lamine gets as a striker to create chances for, while Olise gets Mbappé or Kane

Spain could do with bringing Pedri on tbh. Fabian isn't offering any pressure or presence in the final third which is the only reason to select him ahead of Pedri.
Pedri has been benched for Ruiz yet again. Truth is , against a very physical midfield, you can’t rely on Pedri. That’s why I said our best pivot against a very strong midfield is Frenkie and Rodri. It’s sad but true
