Spain – the shape of the team and its analysis:
“The Furia Roja” approached the tournament in the status of the winner of the Nations League. And it was good, albeit not without mishaps, that it overcame last year’s qualification, after which the team played well in friendly matches.
As for the Euro, the team was able to win all 3 matches of the group stage without conceding a single goal: a 3-0 score in the battle against Croatia, a 1-0 result in the games against Italy and Albania. Then, it easily and crushingly knocked out Georgia and beat Germany in the quarter-finals, but only due to Merino’s goal in the 119th minute of the confrontations.
France – the shape of the team and its analysis:
“Les Bleus” reached the finals in Qatar after the triumphant World Cup 2018 after the triumphant 2018 World Cup as well, losing to Argentina only on penalties. Moreover, the updated team overcame the qualification smoothly, beating the Dutch twice. Still, not everything worked out in friendly matches, but that was attributed to a lack of motivation.
As for the Euro, there were enough reasons for criticism. Suffice it to say that Mbappé with Giroud, Griezmann, Kolo-Muani and others do not score “in the game”. Both victories, with Austria in the group and with Belgium in the round of 16, were secured by own goals. Portugal, which was the rival in the previous round, was defeated only in post-match penalties after a 0-0 draw after 120 minutes of the confrontation.
