France – Spain – 0:2 (Oyarzabal, 22P, Porro, 58).

French head coach Didier Deschamps announced his retirement after the World Cup. Unfortunately, the team did not support the mentor's desire to leave beautifully. But the Spaniards' coach Luis De La Fuente showed the ability to build up the strength of the game from match to match. If earlier the fate of matches was decided by the exit of Mikel Merino from the bench, now the reserves have helped to maintain the necessary pace.

And the prodigy Lamin Yamal, although he did not score again, earned a penalty, cunningly exposing himself to the blow of the 32-year-old defender of Aston Villa, Luca Dinh. The youngster didn't even have to beat the veteran, the exposed hip was enough. And the chief referee of the match, Ivan Arcides Barton from El Salvador, confidently pointed to the spot, and his colleagues supported him. The captain of Real Sociedad, Mikel Oyarzabal, executed an exemplary penalty from the spot.

In the second half, Dani Olmo managed to push the ball into the path of Tottenham defender Pedro Porro, who confidently threw a projectile past the French goalkeeper and Milan captain Mike Menyan.

At this critical moment for France, Deschamps had to think not only about how to score at least one goal, but rather about how not to concede the third. Therefore, poor Luc Digne left the field in the 72nd minute, and Al-Hilal defender Theo Hernandez came out instead. And instead of Michael Olise, Husanov's Manchester City teammate Ryan Sherkey came out to promote the ball in the middle of the field.

That is, the plot of Steven Spielberg's film "Saving Private Ryan" was supposed to be realized in the opposite direction. According to the coach, Private Ryan Sherkey could save the honor of France, which was burning from Spain on Bastille Day. But the operation was a fiasco.

I had a chance to improve the situation from the standard of Killian Mbappe, but I shot above the goal. David Beckham's talents were not passed on to the French captain, it also helped that Yamal scored the third goal from an offside position. By the way, Unai Simon didn't miss a single goal from Charles De Ketelare. Moreover, the fact that neither Yamal nor Mbappe scored underscores that Spain's victory was Luis De La Fuente's coaching victory over Didier Deschamps, Luis carefully guided these guys from the youth team. Meanwhile, Timur Kapadze, the coach of the Olympic and youth national teams, is being replaced by Fabio Capello.…

Fabrizio Romano's insider reported that Zinedine Zidane will allegedly become the new coach of the French national team. We'll see. And tonight, at midnight we will find out who will be Spain's opponent in the final after the match between England and Argentina. If the match between France and Spain was shadowed by the Thirty Years' War, then the confrontation between England and Argentina is remembered for the conflict between them over the Falkland Islands (Malvinas) and Diego Maradona's "hand of God."
