France flatline, Spain stroll into World Cup final

This was supposed to be a heavyweight bout. The tournament's two best, supposedly. Instead, the European champions just took France apart. No contest. Kylian Mbappe was invisible, his attacking pals equally useless. France managed two shots. Two. Both in injury time. A joke.

Spain didn't waste time. Mikel Oyarzabal buried a penalty in the 22nd minute, courtesy of Lucas Digne's dumb foul on Lamine Yamal. Then, Pedro Porro sealed it. That was in the 58th. Dani Olmo threaded the needle, Porro put it away. Smooth. Professional.

Michael Olise, remember him? Supposedly the top creator from the group stages. Off on 72 minutes. Had two chances. Zero dribbles completed. Sums up France's night, really. What a collapse. And what a miserable end to Didier Deschamps' 14-year reign, if Sky Sports is to be believed. A third-place play-off? Pathetic.

Spain just keep winning. Thirty-seven games without a loss now across all competitions. That's a European record. Flat out ridiculous. They've now beaten France three times straight in major tournaments since Euro 2024. Talk about owning a rival. They're undeniably the team to beat. Hands down.
