Spain has won the UEFAs men and woman under 19 tournament just a few days ago. Men won in 2002, 2004, 2006, 2007, 2011, 2012, 2015, 2019, 2024 y 2026 and women in 2020/21, 2022/23, 2023/24 y 2025/26.
God, it's kind of pathetic how the entire show was a bunch of arrogant losers trying to justify their lack of ball knowledge instead of talking about how Spain played a masterful game. So much so, France, the best squad in the world, looked like an amateur team.
These people have no clue. Baena bad? Yamal bad? Apparently if you don’t beat someone on the dribble and score you’re bad. There’s a reason Spain are in the final with the team they have. They see what they want to see.
"I'm taking nothing away from Spain" after proclaiming emphatically that France didn't turn up. Couldn't help trying to protect his flawed view of this over hyped French team but deep down he knew Spain were just better.
Finally guy in lines shirt talking sense about the spanish team …
Absolute rubbish narrative about France not turning up. France were tested tonight and find wanting. Spain completely out played an average French team. Time and time again in critical games Spain has beaten France. Spain will go on to beat France again and again because it's simple THEY ARE A MUCH BETTER TEAM
Who is this Yank asking for 2 worst performances.
This WC has woken everyone up to how Americans could ruin this sport
Rabiot was actually good before getting subbed
8:30 CBS use to be a place for smart conversations, these clowns trying so hard to wash down a team that just won because their predictions of France went south.
🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡 this pundits
Do pundits know we actually watch games too? What do they mean Spain won coz France didn't show up? It's not like Spain didn't spank France last time too. Spain has been playing tiki taka fir decades, it's not new. They outplayed France.
This is what you get with American football pundits. "Pick the weakest Spanish players". What a reductive question. You won't see anyone across the pond ask these questions. And then he answers his own question. How can we focus on the 'weakest' Spanish player when the entire team as a collective unit dismantled completely the team that was seen as the absolute favourite to win it all?
"Equipo" is a new english denomination for the way Spain plays the game. Perfect team. Perfect organization. Perfect executions 😲
well it was yellow cards fouls for olise it isn’t red card fouls also rabiot foul wasn’t yellow cards and lamine didn’t get cards for fouls on mbappe
mansplaining
I can see the losers faces on the studio , they thought France is gonna beat Spain. Spain not only beat France, Spain humiliated France.
"They are still looking for the license plate of the truck that just ran over them ….
Mbape lost 9/10 against "La masia players" so far, but he so stubborn, that he don't realize that the key is to be humble and a team player to play for the team, not for individual glory, he keeps feeding his ego…Lamine Yamal is more mature than him, just because he realized fast, after he lost with Barca at Bernabeu, that feeding your ego is wrong and it can become the fastest way to failure…
These guys are horrible pundits, first and last time watching.
They turned up! He’s wrong Spain minimized them because they started 2 midfielders against the Spain team known for midfield dominance
Everyone is still so blind to how well Yamal is playing. Yes you can say he's not attacking as well as we're used to but no one sees how good he's while defending, pressing, building up play and getting the ball out of the defense to the midfield. He was incredible.
The analysis from the guy on the call is impressive. But all the clowns are sitting in the studio. Even some regular football viewer analyzes better than those clowns.
These useless pundits, the way they were talking juz two days ago 😂
The bald head guy has no clue about football to say that France didn't turn up. France were completely OUTPLAYED in every department.
Can anybody show me the stats of those guys crying about yamal and Spain?? I never watch them in the football pitch. Those morons are finding who are weakest players in the winning side😂😂😂. I think the weakest sports channel in the world is cbssports😂😂😂. So much happy to see you crying that much😂😂. Unsubscribed
Baena and Yamal poor? Do these guys even understand the game? It was precisely their defensive contributions and pressing that shut the French wings.
Any La Liga viewer, Barcelona fan and who actually watch Spain played before knew Spain would have frustrated France. Some of these online pundits takes are lacking, it’s a team sport each player played their role.
Spain is the best team of this world cup. And i wish the Spaniard all the best in the Final match on Sunday.
Them ingesting humble pie loool. Football won again!
He’s still throwing shade at Australia 😂
The pundits are a joke it’s idiot on USA tv get them off and someone decent on morons
Nigel is terrible
Spain minimise them a full team play football not just fowards
Franck as a French said it would be a deception or a failure , he meant « a disappointment » , deception is a false friend, in french😅
This is what happens when you hire pundits who form their opinions based on highlight reels. Spain were always going to win that game, and if you watch the guys, Rodri has been the most effective player in the tournament.
Spain won because their performance was the best, they played as a team should play, they were superior to France!
Spain has the best midfield. Not just with the players but with the technical ability to play in tight spaces and control the ball. It’s in the culture.
Lamine Yamal was the worst spanish playerd during the whole championship
Put some respect to Cubarsi name, he has been low key brilliant
https://youtu.be/6VW9koOUcWg?si=rjRKAojrJeoQKoDF
Spain was just disrespected
4:45 fully right. Lamine played great today, no mistakes, defending, and a penalty. That’ is very difficult for someone that is world class, ask to mbappe to be one more and not to try individual actions 😉
De la Fuentes proved to be a superior coach / manager compared to Deschamps. Spain was the creme de la creme. And a TEAM not dependent on superstars.
Football as a sport of 11 individuals working as a collective in a superior system with superior tactics made French primadonnas look like players who had been on ay heavy party the day before.
Good to have an European team in the final – with actual European players! 😎
The difference between British so called pundits and journalists with a professional one, you have won an impressive game and yet they're looking for the weakest player of the team, just stupid and clueless.
The anysts all got it wrong ….😂😂😂
