the utter assurance of what they were doing, the assertiveness.

I do still think it's crazy that someone as pragmatic as Deschamps went for a 4-2-4 against Spain, really, and two in the centre.

The French had flagged it themselves.

I was talking to people around the camp.

They said they were aware of this, and they went with it anyway, which seems significant hubris.

I can't see either Tuchel or Scaloni making that mistake should they get through, and that would be a very different type of game.

But I suppose the issue is Spain, not that they're soaring, but they feel like they're constantly going up levels and their run has been smoother than the other side of the draw.

Whereas Argentina, England, whoever gets through, and this isn't to say it will be decisive, but it will be a factor.

They've had so many kind of these emotional epics.

There is a chance that either team could be fried by Sunday.

Yeah, completely.

And there would be an irony, I suppose, if it was to be Spain to win it in a tournament that has been defined by stars.

But that's because they are closest to a club team.

And with the passing debate, like, look, obviously I'm half Spanish.

I've covered, funny enough, the start of my journalism career basically coincided with the rise of Spain, basically, because the first tournament I did was the year 2008.

I covered, obviously, 2010, 2012.

And then there, pretty long decline.

So I've been to, obviously, a lot of Spanish tournament games over that period.

And I've always felt the possession debate has been... It's ebbed and flowed a bit like Spain.

So there was elements of it in 2010 where Spain won so many games, won nil.
