Will Argentina join the elite group of national teams that have won back-to-back World Cups, or will Spain produce another defensive masterclass and limit Lionel Messi’s impact enough to win the biggest prize in football?
WATCH HERE;
Far too many people were ruling Spain out against France, but Luis de la Fuente’s team produced a tactical masterclass. Les Bleus were shut down from the first minute and were effectively invisible in the first half.
Mikel Oyarzabal’s penalty was the beginning of the end for France, while Pedro Porro killed the intrigue after a perfect pass inside the box from Dani Olmo.
On paper, France were the strongest attacking team in the tournament, but they were an open book for Luis de la Fuente. Given how similar Argentina’s matches have been in this competition, another masterclass could be in the making.
The defending world champions had to come from behind once again, but this time achieved it in regulation. However, we believe that it became possible primarily due to Thomas Tuchel’s bad decisions.
England played their worst match since he took charge, and made the grave mistake of pulling back into their own half after the goal, thus giving Lionel Messi all the freedom in the world.
And he created both of Argentina’s goals, feeding Enzo Fernandez and Lautaro Martinez with perfect passes.
