Unbelievable! Escaping against Egypt was one thing. Turning around a semifinal against England is something else altogether.
When England took the lead, I wasn’t heartbroken by the scoreline alone. I was heartbroken by our football. Up to that point, we had looked incapable of creating enough to even equalize, let alone win the match. And yet, this team once again found a way to rewrite the script.
We’re better team through whole game
We could have gotten a third at the end there but Leo decided to go to the corner area. Anyhow, every match I am reminded why I love this team! So much tension, drama, and skill.
For our match against Spain, we need Montiel to start over Molina, he is a bit too shaky with the ball and it makes me nervous. Lisandro should also play as left back he tries to run with it too much in the back and he makes better attacking opportunities on the flank than Tagli . Ottemandi should be CB, we need someone with his experience. Spain have a LOT of pressing players
