Scaloni's tactics were bizarre. They sat Paredes, their best midfielder this WC, and completely surrendered the midfield to try a play a counter attacking game with Nico Gonzalez, which is not their wheelhouse and did not work. 

Then in the second half, they brought on Simeone, who can really only run and foul, instead of Lautaro Martinez, a legimitate world class striker who I'd much have preferred taking that last shot that Simeone skied over the bar. 

In any case, Spain clearly the better side today and really during the whole WC, and only Dibu kept the scoreline respectable.

Bores me to death when they do it right, but possessing the ball, counter pressing up high, they just snuff out teams ability to attack at all, very impressive display.
