Spain - Finland U21

A bet!

It has been a while but somehow I remembered how to place a bet.

Spain -2 @ 1.92 was well enough as nothing speaks for Finland here.

The season has been over for a month.
11 best players on the pitch wear a red shirt.
Home advantage.
Motivation.

And the list could go on. Perhaps i will get the actual lineups when I get back from the shop, but the material gap is huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuge.

EDIT: FT 1-0. Everything else went according the plan, but there were no goals. Those two unawarded penalties for Spain might have helped. I will get back into this with more time, have to check the Georgian referee who is not probably having that brilliant career in front of him. 
All in all, Spain was clearly better and was always going to win and leave Finland goalless, on individual level the difference in class in almost unbelievable, but well-organized defence, the heroics of defender Jukka Raitala and pure luck helped Finland to lose only by one goal it is looks far better on paper than in the real life.

Unfortunately there are no better players available and thus I can not even really blame coach Markku Kanerva even though I wanted to.
