"I actually thought Lamine Yamal's performance today was one of his best, most intelligent performances for Spain." @PhilKitro believes the teenage phenom played better by not trying to do too much 🇪🇸

This was the tournament of the stars. Where all the big players were shining, tremendous individual showings, illuminating the competition. And then Spain come and show it is all about team effort. A collective idea. An entire squad totally bought in. Tremendous.

Found a ticket for the final!! Might get two!

@Damo259 Thanks very much, very kind!

@PhilKitro Fantastic interview on TalkSPORT with Jim, Simon and Martin👍

Huge day coming up! On TalkSport, BBC 5Live and CBS Sports throughout the day talking Spain France. Vamos!!

"They want France to chase shadows." @PhilKitro believes Spain is going to try and keep possession and make France chase the ball ⚽️

10th July 2015: Mikel Merino starts for Spain in a Euro U19 game. With Luis De La Fuente as manager. 10th July 2026: Mikel Merino comes off the bench to score the winner for Spain in World Cup QF. With Luis De La Fuente as manager.

“This is historic for Spain. They’re in the semifinals for only the second time ever.” @PhilKitro highlights Spain’s historic run, with La Roja continuing to control games even without consistently producing their best performances 🇪🇸📊

"I have a feeling we can see something special against Belgium." @PhilKitro still expects a Lamine Yamal masterclass for Spain 🇪🇸

WHAT DO YOU MEAN THERE IS NO FOOTBALL TODAY?????

Good debate on @CBSSportsGolazo as we discussed Cristiano's international legacy. He clearly shouldn't have played as many minutes the last few years but it's not all on him. Watch here👇🏼 youtu.be/-e_E4k1xbCI?is…

"I didn't look at this game and think Portugal have lost because they have Cristiano Ronaldo on the pitch." @PhilKitro thinks the wider Portugal squad should be criticized for their performances, not just Ronaldo 🗣️

@MADRIDISTA_31 Yes Spanish from Madrid

@PhilKitro Are they Spanish? If not then it's perfectly normal

Yo tengo un par de amigos Madridistas que dicen que hoy van con Portugal por Cristiano. Alguien por aquí conoce mas gente así?

@sononosonn Yo también lo pensaba...pero luego mis dos colegas "Vamos Cris"

@PhilKitro Poca gente en la vida real creo yo Phil, es una narrativa un poco over-blown en estos torneos. Todos mis amigos son de aquí y madridistas y todos van con España.

Big day today, looking forward to being part of @CBSSportsGolazo pre-match and post-match coverage of Spain vs Portugal. Vamos España! 🇪🇸

That's if Vini stays, given that he's now IN THE FINAL YEAR OF HIS CONTRACT.

Mbappe and Bellingham are shining at the World Cup. Vini Jnr had a decent tournament too. Three of the world's elite players all on the same team. 3 Real Madrid managers have tried and failed to get the best out of them together. That's Mourinho's biggest job this season.

@eastonjamie No soy imparcial, pero has estado impecable 👌🏼Great work mate

Hoy termina mi #DAZNMundial Un Mundial enorme: 34.000km recorridos 7 ciudades 11 partidos 15 selecciones Fue un reto gigante. Y me lo he pasado genial. Eso ha sido gracias a un equipo humano espectacular. Así que sólo me queda decir: GRACIAS A TODOS los que lo han hecho posible.

@Dono1983 Can only comment on the season I've just seen him play in LaLiga where he was terrific.

@PhilKitro People thought that after the last WC, got his move to Marseille and stunk the place out!

Golazo from Azzedine Ounahi for Morocco. He's a lovely player and his buyout clause dropped from €20m to €10m with Girona's relegation from LaLiga. Someone is gonna get an absolute bargain.
