Ended up with a split in our house.
Wife is English so her loyalties were never in doubt. Daughter was supporting Spain but has now had a change of heart and wants to support England like Mum. The boy is too young to choose so he's running about in a Spain top with Iniesta on the back and is on my team. England v Spain, boys v girls😅
Spanish international and club sides have been in 22 finals this century. Their record in these finals? Won 22- Lost 0.
What a stat that is, might put the house on Spain now :greengrinQuote:

I think the way Spain play suits England a little bit, England struggle against teams who sit in and condense the space and end up endlessly passing about the back not really going anywhere.Quote:

So, a 0-0 borefest coming up.
Think Spain will play better but England will win.
Can’t see anything other than an England win. Shame it’s not KO now so could just get it over with already.
Not really true. They've never lost against non-spanish sides. Atletico have lost 2 CL finals, both to Real. Athletic Bilbao have lost a Europa league final to Atletico.Quote:

Can spin stats anyway you like. When you have two teams at almost the same level will come down to the same combination of individual brilliance/ mistakes and luck.
I don't think that they are at the same level, I think Spain will pass them into the ground. 🤞Quote:

Overly pessimistic - Spain were quite open against England, and that'll play into the hands of what they showed in the first half against Netherlands. Stubborn England will also turn up, and a Spanish side having an off night won't be able to break them down.
Narrow England win. Praying otherwise.
Heard a stat on 5 live that Rodri has only been on the loosing side once for Spain.
BBC or ITV ?
Gone ITV for Keane and Neville but Wrighty is maybe not a price worth paying.
Talk about a rock and a hard placeQuote:
