Even the world champions are rooting for Spain, and England are outraged by the refereeing before their semi-final. The Spanish national team became the first finalist of the Euro! This is, of course, the main news of the day, but there are others.
The Spaniards seem invincible. To score three goals for the Croats in one half? Easy! Become the only team in the tournament with nine points in the group? Why not? To convincingly defeat sensational Georgians? Done. To beat the bright hosts of the tournament? It's more difficult, but it's also possible. To make a comeback against France, which conceded only one goal in five games (and then from the penalty spot)? It's done!

In the eighth minute, the French scored for the first time in the Euro from the game: Mbappe broke through from the left into the penalty area and sent the ball to the far post, where Kolo Mouani was waiting for him. A headbutt and hello, Simon. Mbappe was not stopped by 38-year-old Navas, who replaced Carvajal, who was disqualified in the match with the Germans. A few minutes later, he did not have time for Rabio and received a yellow card. Also, the disqualified Le Norman and the injured Pedri could not play. The situation seemed hopeless. For everyone except the Spaniards themselves.
On the 21st minute, Yamal decided on a long-range shot, and did not lose: the ball flew from the post into the goal. Mbappe was unhappy. Soon Spain was already leading: Olmo intercepted a defender's takedown, beat Tchuameni and shot into the far corner. Menyan could not help out, but Kunde put his foot up, and the ball flew into the goal. Two shots on target — both effective. Amazing efficiency.
The Spaniards, controlling the ball in their trademark style, did not give the opponent a chance to respond. A well-deserved entry into the finals. The opponent will be determined on the evening of July 10 — England will play the Netherlands.
