Jonas Posted July 9, 2024 Share Posted July 9, 2024 Spain are the best team in the tournament by miles, the only special team, they've had a hard run to the final and have been one of the very few that's been good to watch. Which all conspired to give me a horrible feeling somehow they wont win it. Just seems too logical and fair for football. Mind it would fit the tournament if they didn't.

Expand Deschamps set up France poorly, so much unused talent, and they are a poor watch, but Upacameno, Hernandez and Mbappe himself all had clear chances. I like being entertained and want entertaining football to triumph (not necessary for NUFC), but this gives me visions of Spain conceding to Weghorst, VVD, or one of our big lads in the final.
