Spain 20 shots 11 on goal Argentina 3 shots 0 on goal ( all 3 coming in the final 9 minutes of play in extra time )
Ferran Torres has 25 goals in 65 caps, has scored at two EUROs and two WCs, but still feels like a reserve player for Spain. That's insane
And I think Laporte plays in Saudi even though they have a top league full of domestic players. It's a pity that Johann Cryuff went to Barca and it led to them have a distinct winning style that then led to their NT incorporating it. Pity it wasn't Juve and then Italy.
Wanted to mention this yesterday. Italy conceded only 2 goals in 2006 playing 7 Matches. An OG and PK. Spain have bettered that with only 1 goal conceded over 8 Matches.
Beating Spain isn't for everyone 4 world cups isn't for everyone Back to back world cups isn't for everyone
Paredes, what a disgraceful player. FIFA should give him a five-year ban. pic.twitter.com/U70VlaBV5B— Blessed (@BlessedUtd) July 19, 2026
Yes but Spain conceded an open play goal Italy did not. Real ones know 2006 Italy is still the best defence.
This kind it reminded me of that match where one team just looked completely beat up and gassed from the start. Credit to Spain though for breezing through their matches.
