I’m watching live text update on my phone prior to the shootout, and it’s saying that Luis Enrique has had his players practice penalties 1,000 times.

For all the good it’s done them

Can’t say I’m sad to lose Spain from this tournament, they shot their bolt in the Costa Rica game and gave a rather misleading impression of being a team ready to compete

Don’t get me wrong I think they do genuinely have top young players coming through, and they may be contenders for Euro 2024 and next World Cup. But now they looked naive, even Brazil only started showboating after they were winning

Weird that Jao Felix gets the nod over Rafael Leao, just because Atletico played silly money for him doesn’t obligate the national side to start him.

Zidane didn't leave the football stage in a gracious way, De Jong...

Spain are undone by an uninspiring coach. Anyone who thinks a barely mobile Busquets should still be a mainstay of the team needs his head lopped off. Hopefully that defeat will spell the end of them both.
