what is "gol"?

Something England failed to score today

[Brad]

It was a great match. The Spanish were dominant in the first half but hung on.

The head of the Spanish federation somewhat ruined the celebration bu kissing Jenni Hermoso during the medal ceremony. Some have called for his resignation and he probably should. Just not acceptable.

Is that who the guy was? Ridiculous behaviour.

What poignancy Carmona's winner now has given the news of her father.

Yes, Rubiales. He sort of apologized today.

Time to ressurect this thread...is it coming home? 😄

Unlikely given the opponents on Sunday

Y'all gotta love how England looked today compared to the last match. Should be a great game with Spain.

Watching yesterday's game it left me wondering (even more) how the top notch staffed England team performed in prior games .... btw none of the other teams - omitting Spain - played their best recurringly ....

[mjazzg]

Yes, the first half was England close to their full potential, a joy to watch. Second half they defended well after Koeman changed tactics to dull our threat.

Spain have been the stand out team for me (alongside Georgia) and the final will be a very tough examination with Spain strong favourites but we live in hope!

I believe an early lead would be key for England, otherwise they will get successively overwhelmed by Spain's technical skills and discipline as a team ....

I will be watching the final of the Copa America, including the Shakira halftime.

I hear ya 😂😂😂 .... btw in a lot of games it would make more sense to go for the penalty shoot-out straight after regulation 😵‍💫 ....

Agreed - I also read this proposal ...

[mjazzg]

That's happening in Copa America at the moment I think

Yep, but the final game - if still tied after regulation  - has again extra-time ....

[mjazzg]

Congratulations to the best team of the tournament. They are a joy to watch.

England played well in the first half to negate the threat but Spain came out flying in the the second half

[soulpope]

A well deserved win for Spain ....

In my opinion, Colombia’s goalkeeper should have been able to prevent Argentina’s goal.

Loved the Euro this year. Spain played so well throughout.

Watching the Copa final was brutal, at least the 2nd half and extra time. Colombia's "offense" was awful. I mentioned to my friend that neither team would have made it past the quarters in the Euro.
