The wait is over. Since the RO32, I have been waiting for Spain vs France.
For Spain, it was not an easy game. Belgium really played a wholesome of game. The equalizer was a beautiful one, but Belgium really had to breakthrough Spain's defence. Moreover, Belgium did a really great job by holding Yamal, still he is the MOTM. 18 years old and doing magics. During the match, we also saw a great tussle between Doku and Yamal, both wanted to outsmart each other.
And do not forget about 30 years old Arsenal's legend - Mikel Merino. What a game changer this lad is. Scoring in the death minutes against Portugal, leading Spain into the Quarter-Finals. Then doing the same thing against Belgium, scoring a winning goal. Just a minute after he was substituted.
Moreover, it aches my heart to say that King Kev - Kevin De Bruyne - has played his last match for the international team. He was, is and will always be one of my favorite player. The passing accuracy and the vision he possesses is pure talent. Such a wonder.
It adds to the list of "end of a beautiful era":
Luka Modric
Robert Lewandowski
Thomas Muller
Jan Oblak
Ivan Perisic
Cristiano Ronaldo
Neymar Jr
Kevin De Bruyne and others.
