Amazing stats for a 16 year old, particularly since he's on probably the best national team in the world.

Too bad he's barred from playing in OT by German law.

Spain's Lamine Yamal is BARRED from playing in extra time at Euro 2024 final vs England | Goal.com US

Lamine Yamal is not allowed to play in extra time should the Euro 2024 final head there.

He can play, they will just have to pay a fine, if it’s even levied

he is not barred from playing in extra time.

All that will happen is that they have to pay a small fine, if it even comes to that (most of the German legal experts say it is very unlikely for them to be fined). The fine is more than small enough that if they want him to play in extra time, he will most likely play.

I’m seeing a Spain 2-1 win here. 0-0 at half. Spain scores in like the 58th minute. England responds with a goal fairly quickly. Spain scores the winner in like the 89th minute.

Too bad i accidentally put Spain wins from behind in my parlay…

Never underestimate the pettiness of bureaucrats.

At this point Spain has earned €20.25 million in winnings at this tournament. The winner gets an additional €8 million, the loser €5 million.
The fine would be irrelevent.

The amount of illegal throw ins that they ignore is amazing

 

[BlackCrowes]

The amount of illegal throw ins that they ignore is amazing

Was wondering about that. Been a while since I played, but some of that stuff looks wrong. did the rules change?

 

[Dinsy Ejotuz]

Hold on Landon, let's hear from The Head of the Referees Defense Club, Mark Clattenburg.

Sure thing Ian, Mark go ahead and tell us why the referee was right this time.

no, the AR's just ignore it I think. Feet are coming up and side throws (like Weston does for the US) are ignored.

 

[Dinsy Ejotuz]

Think that if I were Olmo there I'd have nodded, given the ref the thumbs up and kept my mouth shut.

 

[AAABatteries]

LaPorte trying to steal a penalty - sneaky

 

[AAABatteries]

I consider it like traveling in basketball. Unless it’s egregious just let it go.

 

[NewlyRetired]

England are so talented but Spain's technical skill gap over them is scary.

 

[Steve Tasker]

Spain dominant but looking utterly confused in the final third, imo.

 

[AAABatteries]

Damn - Kane had a great chance there

 

[NewlyRetired]

Spain dominant but looking utterly confused in the final third, imo.

England is incredibly organized and the full backs are doing a great job not getting beat on the dribble.

Yep. Reminds me of carrying in basketball nowadays.

 

[AAABatteries]

I think both teams will be pleased with where they are. That’s almost exactly how I would have expected the first half to go. England can’t turn off defensively and Spain can’t get impatient and leave room for Jude, Saka and Foden.

I hope if it gets to 70’ still scoreless that Gareth goes for it with positive subs like last match.

England with the only shot on goal.

 

[guru_007]

I love soccer. This game is boring af.

Having the vets Shaw and Walker against the two young studs from Spain was fascinating to watch and so far England got the better of it.

 

[NewlyRetired]

Lamel has been ineffective in the first half. I would not be surprised to see him subbed off at 60 if he does not find the flow of the game.

 

[Major]

Just reading the Copa final will have Extra Time if needed. Glad to see that. Going straight to kicks in the championship match would seem cheap.

Southgate definitely is the suck if you want entertaining football

 

[TennesseeJed]

Big loss for Spain.

Was hoping Darke or Donovan would be substituted at half-time.

That was just 3rd place match - not sure when the last major final didn’t have ET if needed. But I’m sure I’ll end up being wrong .

well that did not take long!!!

The wingers combined

 

[AAABatteries]

And just like that Shaw and Walker both get caught out a little.

 

[NewlyRetired]

That ball by Carvahal

 

[TennesseeJed]

Goodnight. Game over.

 

[Desert_Power]

Beautiful

 

[TripItUp]

I'm gonna be rich...such an easy bet

 

[General Malaise]

Park the bus, call it a night.

 

[The Gator]

Olmost

 

[Mjolnirs]

Goodnight. Game over.

Not yet. Spain need two more. It takes several goals to knock that horseshoe loose from England's ....

 

[TennesseeJed]

Do any of the Spanish players have those stupid cut-outs in their calves? Because I think that could be the difference in this game - England players looking dumb with the Hulk socks..

I actually forgot about the third place match and was talking about tonight. Just glad the Copa didn't take another shortcut for the championship game. Hope they invested in a proper pitch this go around.

 

[NewlyRetired]

Spain are flowing like crazy here.

 

[AAABatteries]

Gareth needs to be bold - in the next 10 minutes Kane and either Shaw or Walker need to come out and Watkins and Palmer come on.

Game is at Hard Rock tonight, which is natural grass.

 

[The Gator]

What’s the point of those? Looks terrible

 

[AAABatteries]

If he leaves Kane on then go enjoy the rest of your Sunday

 

[TennesseeJed]

Gareth needs to be bold - in the next 10 minutes Kane and either Shaw or Walker need to come out and Watkins and Palmer come on.

This feels like Kane's last hurrah.

Can't see him as the auto-start in the lead up to WC 2026.

Why do Jude Bellingham and Kyle Walker cut holes in their socks when playing?

FOOTBALLERS often alter their kit to gain an advantage during a match and to protect themselves from injury. One trend fans have noticed in recent years is their favourite stars with multiple holes…

He needs service or superior talent on his team. He has no speed. It was an obvious sub (IMO) - thankfully he made it.

 

[AAABatteries]

Sacrilege but Bellingham reminds me of Zizou

ETA - that shielding of the ball on to his left foot was something Zidane did so many times.

 

[NewlyRetired]

Spain are playing like they are behind in the game.

 

[AAABatteries]

**** yes!

 

[Moe.]

he’s so good

 

[Sand]

Oh hell yes. Now we have ourselves a game!
