More the Le Parisien stuff.

Like I'm sure there were tensions in the team, but to play off anything as actual quoted conversations seems a bit ridiculous to me.

Maybe they had a parabolic mic? I'm curious if they said how they got these quotes, but it's paywalled and I'm not that curious.

Wouldn’t be a summer in France without some over the top salacious football rumours or situations that put the British tabloid chatter to shame, and a few transport strikes.

Pretty nice gesture, hopefully they'll be watching Denmark.

It's too bad. Spain used to be really fun to watch in the 90s and early 00s. But it was not successful like this style now.

I mean what is so bad about this style? Italy, who dominated Belgium for long stretches, are being dominated at present. If Morata could finish they'd have scored 20 goals in this tournament already. England have been significantly worse to watch, not even close.

Yeah I don't think this has been bad Tiki-Taka from Spain, actually trying to play pretty direct here.

Italy misses Spinazzola. The left side was their escape route and he pretty much could single handledly run them out of trouble at times. Missing that today.

Yeah, this ain't your Granpappy's Spain, they're a lot more entertaining that the prior iterations.

The Ref is also not buying any shenanigans so we're getting a really good match thus far.

I love watching Chiellini play. He's got that Old-Man Strength and you can see the sun glistening off his strangely mis-shapen head, but he's great.

And presumably irresistibly delicious if Luis Suarez is to be believed.

How is Chiellini younger than 56? He doesn’t look a day younger than that.
