Spain's lack of pace and urgency was disappointing. It made the match very difficult to watch. Plus, they allowed an inferior Russian team to take it to penalty kicks and beat them. Too bad for them. The draw was not that difficult and they should've been able to make a good run in the tournament.Hope this ends the Tiki Taka once and for all. All possession and no end result.
Commentators said you could've called fouls on both sides.Is tackling just expected on set pieces? Otherwise, how does Spain not get a penalty kick there at the end?
Russia looks good as does England. Same with Colombia if James is healthy.Croatia in the Finals?
