The 3rd/4th place play off match also counts for the Golden boot
Betfair didn't know that in 2010, and settled Forlan and Luis Suarez as lovers after the semi final

1.82 Spain is outrageous. Anyone know how/why VAR intervened to overturn that dangerous French free kick? Never seen that before
Crazy crazy market. Never even a moments doubt
37 matches now unbeaten, and just equalled Italy's international record of 31 consecutive competitive matches unbeaten (set between 2018 and 2021) You can have a moan about the overall style of the Spanish, but you simply can't deny their effectiveness at besting their opps. To sum up the state of play, the ever confident, near arrogant, Patrick Viera at HT: Spain are too good for France.

Not sure if Spain were great, or France were appallingly bad, bit of both.
Spain were superb - tonight's masterclass was the best in the tournament by a country mile
People forget there's another team stopping you playing.

I wouldn't call it a masterclass, it didn't need to be. France were woeful, deserved to lose 5-0 they were that bad (not that Spain deserved 5-0). None of their famed front 4 turned up.
France were made to look ordinary due to Spain to being different class. That is the simple answer

Loved football all my life, but im fed up with it now, the idea is supposed to be to score goals, 5 shots on target the whole game, the 2 from spain were the penalty and the goal, 3 from france all after the 60th min,dull as ditchwater.
I couldn't look away this evening, thought it was a great match.
feck me i was bored stupid at half time. Spain looked decent 2nd half , France were pish
