See that logic doesn’t make sense to me. If you are late on tackle and hence get the man, it is a foul. We do not say you were trying to make a proper tackle so no foul
That was 100% a handball for me. Hand was extended from the body and blocked a shot on target. Cucurella even smirked afterwards, he knew he got away with one.
Absolutely brutal officiating performance tbh. It started when he didn’t give a yellow to Kroos in the 5th minute for the tackle that took Pedri out of the game. And then he ended up giving a ton of yellows later on in the game, for dubious reasons. Germany got robbed on that call but Spain still seem like the most deserving team to win the tournament so it’s not the worst thing.
If France beats Spain though, then the rage will flow. After benefitting from a missed call and scoring a miraculous goal to avoid penalties, you better make it count
I was surprised to not see it called but they could have thought it was natural position, wasn’t moving out or up or anything like that but these handball rules are confusing and every game calls get worse and worse.
That was a great match. Frankly Germany had chances at the end especially füllkrug with his free header. Spain took their one big chance in extra time and Germany didn’t. That’s all that separated the teams at the end

Lots of yellows, curious to see how Spain is going to manage next match
Lenormand is struggling to defend
This could be a final. I think the winner of this game takes the trophy.
Same here
I agree.
However, they’re tired and had a lot of yellow cards. Their next match will be hard.
Definitely.
Anybody but Spain, please. Lol
Which means they’re going to win it all. 😭

How was that not a pen¿? What exactly are the handball rules¿? The hand was not beside the body and blocked a goal bound shot
Yeah that was strange. Maybe because he was about to put his arm next to his body? But that made him save the shot.

From what the commenter say “if the hands are close enough to the body, it’s not a hand”
"Close enough"being "not larger than a ball (?)

Cute to see Yamal and Williams excited

Spain [1] - 0 Germany - Dani Olmo 51’

NO WAY
Well deserved.
Spain should have kept playing, it almost seemed like they stopped for a while
Yeah true enough but I more felt Germany kicked it up a gear fearing the worst.
Solid first half of extra time. Nobody’s playing for penalties anyway. :D
Damn, even now I thought Germany was going to score
How did fülkrug miss
Spain look very threatening when they break or go direct
Indeed, Neuer just sweat a bit
His positioning is always perfection though. Experience in action.
Interesting game so far
Top quality football in fairness.
Beautiful goal. Beautiful. What a cross. Perfect finish.
I thought Olmo was going to put another one right now
Same
If Spain can’t come back, the coach will have to explain why he took both Yamal and Morata out so early in the game
