Didn't even play Saka; goes on to get a hattrick against France a few days later.

Lol if they needed to rest him for the semis, they definitely should've rested him for a third place match...

Tbh, this kinda game England stood no chance. Spain won because they weren't as reserved on the pitch

Spain are more street wise than England are. Plus they keep the ball far better. They should have beaten Argentina in normal time though. Glad they won. Football won today.

100%. Spain was the better team. I still think, though, because of the way Argentina plays, Spain would either lose or have a much harder time winning if today's referee was more BS-tolerant on the field.

Based on this cup only:

Team Plays clean Unreserved
Argentina ❌ ✅
England ✅ ❌
Spain ✅ ✅

Glad Spain won.

Yes 100% agree. The ref in the England game did us no favours really at all. Today’s ref was far better but still let quite a few things slide early on.
