Courtois did parry the ball back into play for Spain’s first. Granted the strike was from a lot closer but it’s a similar mistake given the relative experiences and skill sets.
But he parried an 8 yard shot as you said - which was through traffic. Lemon spilled a 25 yard shot straight at him that he seemed to initially save. To me - at least - it’s a howler.
I don't know how accurate, but I read that the Norway team has more PL-based players than any team apart from England itself. Which makes it possible today's game might be a very PL-like game, relying on a lot of physicality and hard running. The heat could stop a lot of that maybe. Possible that Guehi could be out injured - the Quan red card really hits! - plus Rice injured. Expect Burn to start for England to battle with Haaland.
Yeah but that’s a routine keeper save at the international level. No way is Courtois playing that shot the same - especially since we have unfortunately experienced him crushing our hopes time and time again.
Judes goal should have been called back the ball changed direction when Nyland kicked it out due to a tv wire that should result in a ball drop
Good idea replace a dangerous winger with a glass cannon. Watch him pull up lame and they have to burn a sub on a sub
