Why for cristiano they say they have something in the ball to show he didn’t score but now the thing is lost
at one time, Costa Rica and Japan are through, I don't think Spain would hope the german won the game, maybe when the german won 4-2.
There is literally a video of koke on the sideline showing 4-2 with his hands and telling his teammates to slow down while they were 2-1 behind. Not even talking about the fact that they scored a single goal with more than 80% ball posession. I mean c'mon…
I hope Marocco kicks Spain out for their poor performance against Japan. Spain was a fucking joke.
VAR should be mandated to show the picture(s) or Video(s) used to reach their decision(s) within one minute of the decision being made. We don't want to see some reconstructed picture almost 24 hours later. Show us the image(s) from the actual game.
Its obvious they did lose intentionally 🤣🤣
Ball was out
No they did not try to lose. There was a point in the game where Spain were actually going out if Germany didn’t come back and beat Costa Rica
Germany did this in 1982 (Gijon, kicking our Algeria), maybe they now paid for it. Spain did it now. If these pundits know they have to lie to keep their job, they should better say nothing and don't talk about this shameful loss on purpose. Hope it won't work out and Spain goes out soon due to loss of Karma.
You guys just realized this? Spain threw the game. Everyone knows it.
They chose the easier side of the draw for real.
Jules wearing that 2002 Korea jersey 🔥🔥
Spain dodged Croatia so they can face Morocco. Morocco might shock them
No chance Luis Enrique would engineer a lose intentionally. No chance and if you think he would do that then you don’t know Enrique.
When you have nothing else to do, just come up with some BS Conspiracy theory and waste time.
People who protest for homos and degeneracy deserve to g9 home .German team behaviour was disgusting. Woke team .
Nah they lost to Japan, you could see the desperation in the Spanish team when trying to find a goal, you cant fake that
The moment he removed azpi and brought carvajal they were in trouble…
A lot of games manship here . Lose on purpose or draw on purpose . The gamesmanship is a bit obvious . You don’t want to believe it but the evidence is there for all to see .
