Spain 2 France 0

Viva Espana! Spain completely outplayed tournament favourites France in Dallas Stadium to reach the World Cup final.
Goals from Mikel Oyarzabal (penalty) and Pedro Porro sank France and it would have been three but for a strike by 19-year-old Lamine Yamal being ruled out for a marginal offside.
Spain looked like a solid team unit; France appeared to be a collection of individuals who lacked confidence and creativity.
Kylian Mbappe, one of the world's greatest players, was totally ineffective for France.
In Sunday's final, Spain will meet the winners of tomorrow's second semi-final between Argentina and England, being played in Atlanta.
The losers face France in Saturday's third-place play-off in Miami.

Fewer than six hours to kickoff. Too early to start drinking?

I was just thinking the same. My wife and I are going for a 4-4-2 formation:
4 beers for me, 4 lagers for her (pre-match) then 2 bottles of wine, one in each half.

Can't beat a few beers while watching a match

Anticlimactic final four after most of the charismatic teams got shafted.

Don’t forget water in the hydration breaks!

That's when the gin and tonics come round!

Hi Shag. I'm expecting plenty of charisma from Kane and Bellingham tonight!

 

[NC_Coastal]

Well, this got ugly in a hurry.

 

[MuffandNonsense]

England keeping calm despite constant dirty tricks and ugly fouls from Argentina.

On X this evening:

The FBI is investigating Argentina's football association for money laundering.Over $300 million in sponsorship money, from Adidas, routed through U.S. banks and a Miami firm called TourProdEnter LLC, is being examined by federal authorities. Shell companies, remittance services, yachts, private jets, payments to AFA executives.AFA President Claudio Tapia and Treasurer Pablo Toviggino are the key names.French investigative journalist Romain Molina says his full exposé drops soon. He's calling it one of FIFA's biggest scandals in years.Argentina is currently playing in the World Cup.Does the trophy matter if the institution behind it is this dirty?

 

[MuffandNonsense]

Is this tournament rigged for Argentina?

[Shaglus_Ziegler]

Watching this game is unreal, so violent with hardly any repercussions. It’s beyond.

 

[Shaglus_Ziegler]

That’d be nice, they got gifted the slot!! Lol. But yeah would love to see them beat Argentina. They aren’t even playing football, more like American football.

 

[MuffandNonsense]

England score first on 55 minutes.
Brilliant goal: Declan Rice to Morgan Rogers and the perfect cross for Anthony Gordon to slot home.

ONE-NIL!!!!

 

[NC_Coastal]

Asked before the match about starting Morgan, Tuchel said it was something he felt in his stomach. A gut feeling. So far, it's looking like a brilliant decision.

Absolutely right.
Amazed that goal scorer Gordon has just been subbed off. England have brought on an extra defender, Ezri Konsa.

 

[MuffandNonsense]

Argentina now playing some brilliant football but England goalkeeper Jordan Pickford makes two amazing saves.

 

[MuffandNonsense]

1-1: Enzo Fernandez equalises for Argentina with a superb shot from outside the box after 85 minutes.

 

[NC_Coastal]

What a shot!
