Spanish football in ENG / ESP / POR @BBCSportsworld / @5livesport. Comida y vino cuando hay tiempo

Overwhelmed and delighted by the response to this.

The false narrative regarding Real Madrid’s lack of identity

@Alvarez debunks Xavi’s statements today — but beyond that, publishes a much-needed article to dispel some common myths about Real’s style of play. https://t.co/vMq3xY1uyb

@BorjaBarba Sabes que soy muy madridista, y sin embargo mi sueño es exactamente ese. Partido tranquilo y unos minutos al chaval al final para que se divierta.

[Eduardo Alvarez @Alvarez]

Immaculate. I’d only add that the signaling works both ways. Not only your team stops going forward, but also the opposition smells blood and fear

[Geronimo Morgans @GeronimoMorgans]

Fascinating the way Fabregas explains why he doesn’t want to sub on a defender (s) to protect a 1-0 lead. Tuchel, come and take notes.

[Eduardo Alvarez @Alvarez]

@AudioJal123 Qué me vas a contar. Encima lo veré en buenos aires

[Eduardo Alvarez @Alvarez]

Literally home

[Piers Morgan @piersmorgan]

This has been a Tuchel tactical masterclass. Take us home, Thomas! 👊👊👊👊

@Cerdido_ El dembo no se cae, con el partido que hizo ayer?

@Holden66666 @chema1981mc Yo creo que no ha visto jugar a guti. Es una comparación inexplicable

@marc_russier @Premieretouche Revoise!

@Millar_Colin Anulo mufa, as the argentineans say

6 - Spain are the first team in FIFA World Cup history to keep six clean sheets at a single edition – the xG figure they faced today against France (0.3) was the lowest by a nation in a semi-final tie in the competition since Brazil vs Sweden in 1994 (0.1).

Shutdown.

[Eduardo Alvarez @Alvarez]

@DonDDF14 Ya me gustaría. La final la voy a ver en Buenos Aires!

[Eduardo Alvarez @Alvarez]

Well, let’s go!

[Eduardo Alvarez @Alvarez]

Impeccable today indeed

[The xG Philosophy @xGPhilosophy]

Spain conceded 0.28(xG) against this front four.

France (0.28) 0-2 (1.81) Spain

[Eduardo Alvarez @Alvarez]

@svilarino Ha sido tremendo. Estaban como flanes.

[Eduardo Alvarez @Alvarez]

Great stuff from Peter Joint

[Eduardo Alvarez @Alvarez]

Confidence in oyarzabal’s penalty taking so high that the spanish players didn’t even position themselves for a potential rebound!

[Eduardo Alvarez @Alvarez]

Como falei ontem pro @vitorsergio, este jogo é tão difícil que se a espanha jogar perfeito tem uma chance de empatar!

[Eduardo Alvarez @Alvarez]

My first world cup match live, 20 years ago. That foul was bullshit but they were the better team. Hoping things are different today

[Andrés Onrubia Ramos @AndiOnrubia]

Hoy se enfrentan Francia y España en las semifinales del Mundial. Solo hay un precedente en una Copa del Mundo: los octavos de final del 2006. España comenzó adelantándose (Villa), pero Francia remontó. Zidane puso la puntilla con un golazo en el 90'.
