Two tremendous games yesterday. Croatia 3 - 5 Spain. I always pull for Croatia, for a small country the amount of talent they produce is astonishing. Spain were stronger though.
France 3 - 3 Switzerland.
Another fantastic game! Switzerland should have won it in normal time with the chances they had but what spirit they showed to come back from 3-1 down and win!
France have been a bit below par this tournament i think.
It's been like watching a Ferrari that can't get past third gear. You know there's a lot more there but they just couldn't produce it.
Mbappe has been injured this year and I did wonder if he's lost a yard of pace. He's still lightning though. But they've been playing him wide and Benzema in the middle; it's worked for Benzema but not for Mbappe and I think France were worse off as a result.
