After all said and done, the funniest moment in this 2026 World Cup is Ronaldo scoring 2 useless goals against Uzbekistan and saying “I’M BACK, I’M BACK”🤡🤡🤣🤣🤣
If not for hate for Leo Messi, why would you on earth call Mbappe Mr World Cup bcx he played 2 finals with zero golden ball but the guy with same 2 finals, 2 golden ball award, top scorer and top assist in entire World Cup history is not?
Spain are so good at keeping the ball after winning it back.
In the end, it comes down to the players' game understanding. They know how important it is to keep possession and slow the tempo after a recovery to kill France's initial press.
Against France, that's crucial. You need to take risks to break their first pressure. Once you do, they become much more disorganized.
You can't do that if you have too many players whose instinct is to accelerate the game and play at a high tempo.
In Spain, nobody forces the game when it isn't the right decision.

Our security forces identified the kidnappers, tracked their individual families and arrested them. This helped to pile pressure on the bastard kidnappers. Meanwhile, soldiers camped in the bush, surrounding all escape routes. Kudos to the CDS, NSA, the Army, Navy, Airforce, Police, DSS 👏🏽👏🏽💙👏🏽👏🏽.
