Round of 16: Spain 4 - 1 Georgia
I clean forgot to post about this match last night. I was just enjoying an entertaining game of football. We've been lucky in the last couple of games to be able to bounce directly from the numbness of an England match right into something more fun
And this one was a cracker. Spain are simply sumptuous and will take some stopping. That said, Georgia gave them a fright and seem to have approached the competition in exactly the right way. Enjoy it, play your best football, be fearless, excel. They will be missed for sure.
They were never going to hold onto that lead, such was the Spanish dominance, but rather than resort to damage limitation, they kept trying, kept breaking menacingly and basically made a right good night of it.
In Rodri, Spain just have the complete player. He is a DM who has perfect passing range and an eye for goal. And he's a big lad too. An absolute dream to have him in your side.
Surely whoever wins the plate competition on England's side of the draw can look forward to an absolute pumping in the final against this lot. Or is the smart play to do what Southgate is doing, and reserve all evidence of actual football until the business end of the tournament? Time will tell.
Next up is this corking tie between France and Belgium. My money is on Lukaku to finally catch those breaks. Should be a good one.
