It is necessary to end once and for all with ‘the lottery of sanctions’. It’s not like that. 11-meter throws are not about flipping a coin. It was the skill of the shooters and setters that ended up making the difference in favor of the winning team. AND Spainlast night, it was better than Croatia.
Once the extension was completed, the most pessimistic feared the worst. Because ahead is a Croatia that has prevailed in all four penalty shootouts it has played in major tournaments (between the World Cup and Euro Cup) since 2018. Denmark, Russia, Japan and Brazil they experienced the good work of the Balkan team from the eleven meters, but this time Spain He refused to be added to that list.
The success of Spain it was more than deserved considering how events turned out. Because even the game is even, the merits made by those of Louis of Source is slightly higher than those zlatko dalic, and in cases like this the mental factor ends up playing tricks on the team that is superior when the penalty shootout is reached. Not at this time, nor that or the fact that in the stands of decoupage the Croatian majority managed to scare even first simon nor to Joseluor to Rodrigo Hernandezor to Mikel Merinoor to Marco Asensio or in ‘panenkista’ Daniel Carvajal. not even at Aymeric Laportebecause despite the fact that he hit the wood, his throw was brave and determined.
The Croats’ shots are not bad either, but they are one point lower than the Spaniards. If you add that first simon is smarter than Livakovic the result was nothing but the victory of the Spaniards. It’s not luck, it’s the biggest global hit that made, in a falsely called penalty lottery, the jackpot goes to Louis of Source and for you.
