Spain vs. England: Who has the upper hand in the EURO Final? | ESPN FC

I don’t know if you saw but England are threw to the final yeah yeah they’re going to take on Spain what are your early thoughts ahead of that game I mean I I just have to really applaud the character of this english team to be fair because third game in a row now where they go behind and third game in a row where they score late for the winner tonight Watkins obviously uh late against Slovakia late against Switzerland as well when they equalizing the at minute they have they have this this character and I think they probably feel right now that just nothing can happen to them Spain will be favorite and Spain are a better team collectively especially individually we can look at it uh but he also shows you that you can have a and going back to head coach discussions you can have a head coach like G sgate who has we’ve been highlighting hasn’t been very good although the substitutions came too late tonight but in the end they worked so fair enough but the players also took charge I think in the last in last two games especially and I think it’s good to see and and now for the first time uh ever they will play a final of a major tournament outside of England and they will have to deal with that kind of emotions but it’s it’s very good for them and like we’ve been saying they also have one of the best Squad in this tournament so uh you were there obviously last night Joel lamino M who we know we we know how good we follow La Liga every week maybe people who don’t watch La Liga that much this is where he very much set his stall out on an international level incredible I mean there’s the cross first for Fabian ree early on that re heads the ball over the bar and but and then there’s obviously the the goal and for Adrian rabio who it was not really a critique but before the game in his press conference said lamin is great lamin is this but he would have to do more to qualify for the final for lamin to put that goal on rabio to have rabio almost falling on his bottom and then Cur that ball into the top Corner was just the irony on top of this incredible moment the goal of the tournament one of the best goals in the history of the Euros when you are 17 on Saturday you still 16 that your dad is younger than Jesus Navas who’s playing behind you in that game your dad is younger than Jesus Naas it’s just incredible I don’t know where he can stop I don’t know what the limit are but what tal and to be fair the second half he was a bit more quieter but Spain control that second half even in France had a go for it it’s just incredible Jud G score a better goal that was the goal of the Year bil gam goal oh yeah the flying volley flying volley yeah back back in the day jores is this picture I I’ve seen this picture and I forgot to check out whether is it is this real geores yeah it is real so I mean it’s the biggest coincidence in the history I think of coin messy holding later on back then that’s it yeah back then they were doing this charity calendar you know the calendar of the year and the the foundation that works with Barcelona wanted to take photos with you know people who comes from like difficult areas and neighborhood in Barcelona and there was a like a kind of a draw and the yamal family was was picked and Messi was the one who by the way at that time Messi was already in that was 16 years ago because obviously lamin is six month old on the photo he’s he’s 17 on Saturday so Messi was already 21 at the time playing for the first team but obviously like a lot of people say it looked like Messi’s U is blessing in a way like the pope is blessing laminal and and gifting him that kind of magical Talent wish mess would come come pick me up now yeah yeah please bless bless bless 200 on P I think you’re beyond a blessing there is a beautiful picture also of Lal with Sergio Ramos coming into the the game from from from the tunel and also handing his hand I mean that guy was made to become something somebody’s tou by Greatness by great absolutely brilant of his career [Music]
