Spain vs. Brazil Olympic men's fútbol final
On the Spanish side:
Cucurella - ❤
Carlos Soler - ❤
Eric García - ❤
Pedri - ...I mean, technically, he's the best player in Spanish colors but...I'm just tired of Pedri hype.
Oyarzabal - ...are you seriously only capable of scoring against U-23 kids?
Olmo - ...he's fine until he screws things up and you can always count on him to screw something up.
Unai Simón - Despite giving away absurd own goals, ❤
On the Brazil side:
Cunha - ❤
Douglas Luiz - ❤
Malcom - ❤
Richarlison - ...ugh, you're no Neymar
Dani Alves - 😒 I like Dani Alves and he's probably the best right back ever, but...also I don't like Dani Alves because he has a really abrasive personality? I am torn about Dani Alves.
General thoughts:
Brazil is going through another talent drought. Spain is...Spain...from the top flight down to the youth, it's just Spain. On the one hand, I would like to see Spanish fútbol regain its dominance. On the other hand, I'm a bit tired of people making a huge deal about Spanish fútbol because it's so misunderstood and I just want the pain to end.
All right, back to extra time and see how all of this ends.
38-year-old Dani Alves beats a U-23 Spain. (Even if it's basically reliant on a Malcom goal. Malcom ❤)
I'm...honestly not sure how I feel about this. On the one hand, congrats to Brazil, they've gotten another Olympic gold. On the other hand, Spain played better.
Eh. Them's the breaks.
