Close match but Germany had more and better chances. Post and a clear penalty not given. Taylor decided the match for Spain

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) is joined by CEO Duncan Drasdo and Financial Director Andy Green from the Manchester United Supporters Trust for a special episode on all things behind the scenes at Old Trafford including a brief history of MUST and their aims today, views on INEOS and Sir Jim Ratcliffe so far, and the Old Trafford regeneration.
So Ruiz, Le Normand, Morata and Carvajal are out, plus maybe Pedri?
Atwell robbed Germany of a penalty but Kroos injured Pedri and was fouling all game.
I think when the dust settles you will find all the german posters on here will agree Spain deserved that in fairness.
Deserved purely for Andrich's hair.
A tough blow for Nagels-men
@JPRouve drink some coffee man, this about to be snooze inducing
Watch Spain lose to France through another France OG.
Two teams full of twats and Anthony Taylor is somehow the biggest prick on the field by a huge margin. Take a bow, son.
Clear handball, but some here argue there was a prior offside offense so it wouldn’t have counted anyway. I didn’t catch that so perhaps it’s moot, but it was a clear handball.
He's great but I just think he lacks a few attributes to be compared to the players he's normally compared to.
Definitely a Madrid legend though.
That's not why it wasn't given though.
Did everything wrong. Hopefully UEFA sends him home after this
Should have started Wirtz.
Thanks Kroos, was a pleasure to watch.

So Spain basically have half their team missing for the semi.
Carvajal was suspended anyway
Thank you Taylor! What a joke this wannabe referee...
Feck off
Still don’t get suspending players for yellow cards in tournaments when you want all your best players on show. It’s never made sense to me.
Justice.
Kroos could have been sent over twice.

C.Ronaldo crying drinking game?
Thought Germany shaded it on the night but it was close. Wonder will Spain have enough left in the locker now.
Nagelsman out and come to United
Sell Musiala to United

Olmo is a player I wouldn't mind having.
Fantastic game. Two top sides. Both played brilliantly at times and Germany can count themselves unlucky.
Always a shame to see the hosts go out, but that game had just about everything and could have gone either way.
And Portugal vs. France to come! What an evening.

He's trying to jinx it. No need, I think France will win confortably.
Refereeing masterclass
By German standards I wouldn't call it an automatic penalty either, but UEFA's line has been to judge basically "everything" as a penalty for years, so in that context it was a ridiculous call. I mean just look at the penalty Denmark conceded and between the two decision the latter was by far the more logical call according to UEFA.
When I was a kid i always hoped spain would win something since they were cursed by always losing in quarters and i was a random fan of Butrageno. But ever since they actually become the best i cant stand them no more. so much cheating involved.
Yep. Stupid rule.
I have no way of knowing, but it makes any discussion about the decision moot. Only seen one replay of the offside, though
He will redeem himself when he goes bald.
I'm dreading the France Portugal match after this one. Going for a Under 2.5 goals snooze-fest.
Was definitely an offside before the handball, so the Germans were not robbed
Sixteen yellow cards
Sixteen yellow cards
The game was very even but Germany should had one penalty, don't know what the ref was doing or how he didn't see that.
Entertaining but that game was a different level of football.
That was one of the worst refereeing performances of the tournament, and we've had some stinkers. How can anyone be this bad at a job and still get to perform it at the highest level? Can't wrap my head around it.
Game of the tournament after a underwhelming but still engaging 1st half.
fixed that for you
All the best to Toni Kroos
