Germany hit the post. Very good response by the German team. Probably the only team in this tournament which is capable to make such a response for Spanish goal and lead.
Or Spain isn't as awesome as everyone thought. In hindsight, they didn't play anyone in the GS and they got a a minnow the L16
In a weird way I'm less impressed with both teams watching the game than I was before it. Germany was unable to do anything for about an hour against a team that is comfortable on the ball and Spain crumbled to bits the moment Germany went all-or-nothing.
Maybe Spain isn't awesome, but if not them, then which team is impressive in this Euro? Switzerland? France, England or Portugal are far from impressive, not to mention Belgium. Netherlands are not convincing for me either.
Switzerland held their own against Germany and dominated Italy just as much as Spain did. But they couldn't beat Scotland so yeah...
I guess I don't think any team is really impressive. They all have their flaws. I think France, if they win tonight, will beat whichever team wins this game. But no, France has not been impressive at any moment in the tournament so far.

There was space betweenbody and arm, even if Cuccurella was moving his arm behind the back.
With the current rule, it was penalty

Switzerland took the draw against Scotland because it was as valuable as a win.

It was exactly like in Sevilla-Roma 2023 EL Final.
The ref was Taylor.
Hope for more partecipants in the next Prediction Game

Need to know what that thing that changed 3 or 4 months was, whether it renders that not a penalty. She sounded confident.
Nothing changed, see Germany's penalty against Denmark in this Euro.

If you're right, Spain's record will stand tonight. When Germany hosted a tournament, they were never eliminated before the semis.
And it's not like VAR brought him to the screen and he said no, that's the on field ref (if he saw it), the VAR and the studio ref all saying it's not a penalty.

They're English as well, so it doesn't matter, they are part of the same problem.
