0:00.0 | Welcome into the latest edition of ESPN FC. I'm Dan Thomas, joined by Craig Burley and Shacker here. |
0:09.0 | It's like, what a day of Nations League action. Three of the ties going to extra time. We'll kick things off in Valencia. |
0:16.0 | Spain taking on the Netherlands. Remember it was 2-2 in the first leg. This would be a brilliant match, |
0:21.7 | right over the 120 minutes. Spain with the advantage, but the Netherlands kept pegging them back, |
0:27.6 | and in the end it goes to penalties. Laminia Marl would see his save, but in the end it would |
0:33.7 | be Spain who advanced, pedry scoring the winner. Marlin missing that key penalty for the |
0:38.5 | Dutch. So Spain through to the semi-finals. The Netherlands out. Alex Kirkland, |

1:22.7 | This game was probably even better. |
1:28.9 | Spain's deficiencies at the back, |
1:31.0 | I suppose, in terms of allowing the space and allowing the Dutch back into the game. |
1:33.7 | But again, we know Spain are a good side. |
1:37.3 | We know they have all these talented players. |
1:39.6 | But I think what we learn from the two games more |
1:42.1 | is that actually the Dutch are starting to find a |
1:45.5 | feat again and they could be back to sort of mixing it amongst the big boys. Coom's done a good |
1:50.7 | job but they're out. Yeah Craig Wing's fair point. There was almost kind of an inevitability |
