Olmo is very good but not as good as Pedri, wouldnât be playing in Germany if he was
A premier league ref in charge, good to know game is in good hands
Massive loss. Pedri is half their bite, half their fast passing through midfield and gets forward for shots.

Pedri should be booked for time wasting here. If Ronaldo did the same lads would be fraught in at the mouth. Big self indulgent walk off
Those are the IOC codes used for sports. Theyll be used again for the Olympics.

Not an RTE thing. ESP has been the widely used international abbreviation for Spain in sporting events since at least the early 90s while GER has been the equivalent for Germany since unification.
Youâll have to find the person or people who decided these abbreviations many years ago and question them.

I have no strong opinion, just thought he was fairly milking both incidents.

Pedri is a huge loss. So much of what Spain does goes through him
Schiess ein Tor (score a goal) is such a crap football chant. Itâs yankesque.
The Germans are in the mood for shithousery here
Sure he has gone off, he was hardly milking it if it has forced him off in the biggest game of his career

He got a couple of clatters and didnât fancy it
He could cost his team big time if he stays on while injured Iâd prefer to think
He has Germany Ante Post I suspect
The Germans are doing what the Dutch did in the 2010 World Cup final and taking advantage of a baldy English ref who likes to âlet it flowâ to kick their Spanish opponents off the pitch.
George fairly milking the pronunciation of Fabian Ruiz there
