This France is truly a disaster. After the penalty they had tried to create scoring chances, but Mexico simply plays on a higher level

5 of the 11 players who started yesterday against Italy will be going to the Olympics, so I will be highly diassapointed if we don't manage to get a medal in Tokyo. We failed miserably in London 2012 and our last medal dates back to Sidney 2000, so it's time to bring the fourth football medal to the country (gold in 1992 and silver in 1920 and 2000).

 

¡Vamos España! :ESP

Spain has a great squad and they are in my opinion the favorites for Gold. However, I wonder whether especially those players will perform as expected. They had a long season with their clubs, the European Championships right afterwards and now, after a break of a few days, the next big tournament waiting. So it's absolutely possible that they are reaching their physical and mental limits and are not able to perform on the level which they showed us during the Euro.

 

Still, if Germany manages to reach the QF I really hope we can avoid Spain there ;)

Let's see how they recover physically, especially Pedri who has played all the games in the EURO and the whole season with his club. I agree that it might be a problem if they are not at the same level that these days, but even without the 6 players, I think it's possible to make a competitive team.

 

For example, Marco Asensio, Dani Ceballos or Bryan Gil have already played for the senior team, but this season they haven't played much due to different reasons, so this is a very good opportunity for these 3 guys to show how good they are and convince Luis Enrique to make the senior list in September. And I would also add to this list the name of Rafa Mir, he's quite unknown, even in Spain, since he plays for Huesca, but in my opinion he can be part of the senior team this season considering the low level of Spanish forwards. He plays different compared to Dani Olmo or Mikel Oyarzábal, which is always nice to introduce some tactical variations during the game.

 

Anyways, I don't like the draw at all. Facing Germany or Brazil (if we get through the group stage) in QF is not going to be easy. Good luck!

I think on paper Spain have the better team but this is a team sport and for instance you can see "worst" player becoming great because of the team spirit.

 

I was a very bad football player when I was young but my strength is my stamina and I keep running everywhere to help my teammate, they always thank me for this support that let them on offensive duty.

 

A well known french journalist says that the beauty in sport is the "glorious uncertainty of sport" that let the small win some times

      Update after Matchdays 8 and 9.   Group A:  is almost a lock with 21p, and 7 games 7 wins. Almost impossible for them to not qualify. The battle is in the second place between  (16p) and  (13p).  with 8p is almost out.  and  eliminated.   Group B:  won both of the 2 games so is almost secured with 19p.  is second with 14p, with  (1 more game played) and  with 11p.  is eliminated and  practically too (6p)   Group C:  went 2 out of 2 so they are still first with 16p and one game less than the rest. The battle for second place will be between  14p,  11p and  9p.  eliminated and  (with one game less and 4p) probably too.   Group D: Only 3 for 2 places.  first with 19p has the advantage, but coming close is  with 16p. They played each other in the Matchday 11 of 12. Coming in third behind is  with 11p. ,  and  eliminated.   Group E: Both  and  won both matches so its still the same, Poland first with 24p and Italy second with 21p, which is the best runner-up and also qualifying directly, so is very likely that both teams end up qualifying no matter who finish first and second. , ,  and  eliminated.   Group F: A tie between  18p and  18p. Germany has the goal advantage (+21 to +20), and has to play the three weaker teams, so its more likely to qualify. Coming behind are  with 10p and  with 9p, which are practically eliminated with  and   Group G:  takes the advantage with 12p and one game less.  and  both have 7p, and coming behind are  5p (but one game less) and  with 5p.   Group H:  with the win against  moved to first place with 13p (and one game less), and Turkey stays in second with 11p.  is coming in third with 8p, while  is eliminated and  have 3p and one game less.   Group I: A triple tie between ,  and  with 10p.
