  • anyone who says that either side is going to "walk right through" the other in this match clearly doesn't understand football. i've watched every single match since the start of the world cup, and in this one the two teams' strengths are pretty evenly matched. it's hard for one team to walk right through the other or anything like that.

    a match with no favorite. france is a favorite only by a hair, and even that's because of the individual talent of players like dembele, mbappe, and olise. spain has conceded only 1 goal throughout the tournament. spain's biggest weapon is the very successful zonal defense they play.

    by the way, spain won 3 of the last 4 matches and 4 of the last 6 matches played between the two teams. on top of that, in the last 10 matches between them, spain came away with 7 wins, 1 draw, and 2 losses. spain is a team that matches up very badly for france.
