Jack Gallagher

90' - Seven minutes added on at the end of the game.

France need another seven days never mind minutes to score.

Jack Gallagher

87' - Mbappe takes on a free kick on the edge of the area...

...And ballooned it over the bar. Sums France up really.

Jack Gallagher
SUBSTITUTION

83' - More subs for Spain as @kieranjpdoody's favourite Porro is replaced by Llorente, and Williams has come on for Baena.

Jack Gallagher

80' - Well...that was really poor from Doue.

Unai Simon rushed out again to a through ball but his clearance only found Doue in the final third. The sub took way too long to have a pop with the goal gaping and when he did, he just didn't hit it - tamely tapping it at Simon instead.

Jack Gallagher

79' - We have 11 minutes left (plus added time) and this stat from @gramorris is ACTUALLY STILL TRUE. Who expected that?

0 shots on goal for France's lauded attack - OUCH!!

Jack Gallagher

78' - And Ferran came so close to scoring immediately!

The forward drifted into the six-yard box and just headed a cross from the left flank wide.

Jack Gallagher
SUBSTITUTION

76' - Spain's strength in depth is pretty impressive. Pedri and Merino have just come on for Olmo and Fabian.

Jack Gallagher

75' - Great analysis from @stuart57mac here.

France look rattled, not their normal composure in midfield. Spain look like they are enjoying the French press because as soon as they win the ball back they can get an unsettled French defence.

Jack Gallagher
SUBSTITUTION

73' - Oyarzabal has been replaced by Ferran.

Jack Gallagher

72' - Is that the worst you've ever seen Olise play?

Jack Gallagher
SUBSTITUTION

71' - Plenty of much-needed subs being made by Didier Deschamps. Cherki and T. Hernandez are coming on for Olise an Digne.

Jack Gallagher
HYDRATION BREAK

68' - Hydration break. France need a miracle here, not water.

Jack Gallagher

Are you one of the experts @gramorris is calling out?

All the experts will be making out like they never backed France to the hilt.

Jack Gallagher

67' - The first sight of goal from Mbappe! Finally!

And he creates it himself, dropping the shoulder and rifling just past the post with a low effort. If France are to do this, it looks like he'll have to do it himself.

Jack Gallagher

66' - Despite the goal from Porro and the Real Madrid move for Cucurella, @kieranjpdoody isn't impressed!

Can't be having Spain winning a World Cup with Porro and Cucurella as full-backs

Jack Gallagher

64' - Our TalkingPoints optimist @dancoombs is still hoping for a high-scoring affair.

Last time they were 2-0 down in the World Cup the game finished 3-3. Any chance?

Jack Gallagher

63' - @jonny has had his say!

France been so disappointing, not even completing simple passes. Pressure got to them? Or were they just flat track bullies?

Jack Gallagher

62' - Here's that brilliant goal from Porro.

Jack Gallagher

61' - OFFSIDE GOAL FROM YAMAL!

The winger burst in behind Digne (again), and finished high past Maignan. He just went too early though. Just.
