Spain beat Georgia tonight to book a mouthwatering showdown with Germany.
Paul Fennessy ONE OF the unfortunate aspects of the Euros and cup competitions, in general, is that the two best teams rarely meet in the final.Based on what has transpired so far, Spain and Germany are comfortably the best two teams in the competition.Germany were not quite so convincing against Denmark last night but deserved to go through on the balance of play.
Both are undoubtedly excellent players, but neither can dictate games in the same way as Kroos and Rodri — and the latter was excellent today, clinically scoring the crucial equalising goal from the edge of the area against Georgia that paved the way for an emphatic win. The Three Lions have survived thanks to moments of magic out of nothing as opposed to intelligent tactics or a coherent game plan.
Bayern Munich star Musiala is the tournament’s joint-top scorer with three goals. While Yamal has yet to find the net, he is the youngest player ever to feature at the Euros at 16 years and 338 days old against Croatia, and his dazzling pace and trickery have given Spain the type of wide threat they have so often lacked at previous tournaments.
