The team that eliminated the USMNT has been eliminated from the competition. This was a back and forth affair although much of the battle was done in the midfield as Spain’s strategy was very methodical, trying to find overlapping runs on the sides of the field. Belgium even managed to equalize before the half, and had a lot of momentum heading into the second half. But Spain managed to create many more chances and Belgium seemed lost given the precision passing Spain were doing.
This is one of the most uniquely Spain sides, they have a game plan so similar to Spain’s of the past and remind me very well of the 2010 world champions team. But even so I think France beat them in the next round maybe 2-1. France will create the more quality chances and after their Morocco performance seem like the front runners in the tournament. They haven’t struggled in a single game this tournament but Spain vs France will be a very interesting and match of different styles of football
