Sid that was a masterpiece of football. Gracias por hablar del fútbol español como lo haces.

The Youth Development System in Spain is second to none, Spanish Coaches are tactical and in LaLiga teams are comfortable in possession, they pride in technical ability, and it is one of the leagues that still promote a lot of player expression. The scary thing about this Spanish Team is that I have no doubt between now and World Cup 2016 they'll find some new Spanish Talent. Their Youth System is unbelievable. I always say that a league plays a part in how the national team plays. You can literally dip your hand in every LaLiga Club and Find a proper midfielder. It is just their style, their way, it is how they do things. Great from Sid on Spain.

Not sure I want to watch a Spanish hype video the day before the final…I’m already worried enough!

Yess what a colab! Been a long time follower of Sid thanks to espn, love this

The Giardian sports reporter is just so well informed ... Credit where its due ❤ H

This is going to be good

The first Spain game I watched all year was the win against Italy in the group stage. What I found most striking wasn't the quality with the ball (was never lost since the mid 2000s), and the newfound tactical variety that has proven so difficult to defend against It was the attitude. Here there were, a team full of little known players, some really young as discussed, playing the finals of a major tournament, and they had *zero* respect to show for this Italy that were title defenders. That pattern would repeat itself in the other games, except perhaps that second half against Germany. That lack of self-awareness, and blatant disregard for the ghosts of the past, was what told me then that they well may make it big this time. I wasn't disappointed.

I always love listening to Sid Lowe

Good to put a face to the name finally lol

Sir Gary ... I watched you during your World Cup, and that was a England team I can get behind. Can't say that today. Totally unadventurous. Just because the EPL is undeniably high-caliber, that doesn't automatically translate into a truly formidable England. The EPL has tons of foreign players, might be one reason. I agree the immediate future belongs to the Spanish.

the eloquence...amazing

I'm from Spain. Spain is a strong team but in these tournments where all depends on 1 match, you're in or out, you never know who's gonna win. You can have a strong team and a bad day, bad luck, etc and you are out... Argentina, Brazil, Spain, Germany and France will be the main favourites for next World Cup.

Been saying for agesssssss how good Rodri is. As soon as he came into that city team there was a shift on ohhh ok they’re now as good or better than European teams. He’s definitely in for a shout for ballon dor. He’s honestly one of the best players.

Sid is the best football correspondent in the world. Full stop.

Sid Lowe is awesome!

Glad Seb mentioned the point ‘judging them by what they could be’ because I cannot think of a single player ever that met their expectations from 18 let alone 16. They either under achieve or exceed, growth is never linear to age (arbitrary age that we came up with is not how biology works). Prime example was Pablo Aimer, at 18 he was better than Messi.

Olmo is a really, really, great player, who can make a difference on the pitch. The only problem he has is that he is injured a lot. I hope he does not join (my club) Bayern, but instead returns to spain. It may sound funny or ridiculous: but warm weather maby could help him to stay more healthy. Muscles like it warm..

England probably do have more left in the tank as they’ve done very little in games as Spain have had big challenges to overcome.

We are a footballing nation and our country would be so emphatically happy to win this tournament especially after coming so close in the 2020/1 final. Spain of course has been the dominant team in this tournament and if they win they deserve it but from a fans perspective i hope it comes to England because Spain has already had more than it’s fair share to celebrate.
