Why can’t we get all our international teams playing like Spain .. right down to the under 18’s .

Thats what Spain do .. as do the majority of their club teams apart from maybe Atletico Madrid

teams change on the day. France are very good defensively, but they can't cope with spain. That's just how it goes in football

Get to the final first and then we'll see who's got the best defence.

BTW England would not have been able to do anything about Yamals goal.

Dembele and Yamal are similar in many ways

Dembele is ambidextrous though

The French manager has had 159 games to get his team to be this poor .. Southgate has has 100 matches to get to our pitiful state
