Spain's Vault Is Shut
ESP have conceded just 1 goal in the tournament — the best defense in the field — while hogging 67% possession and racking up 20 points. Good luck scoring on that.
France Living The Dream
FRA lead all attacks with 20 goals but only an xG of 3.31 — a +16.69 overperformance. Clinical or lucky? Either way, someone's finishing above their pay grade.
Messi Runs It Back
6 goals AND a tournament-best 9.46 rating at his age. The GOAT isn't reminiscing — he's leading the Golden Boot race outright for ARG.
Group I Is Chaos
France's group has coughed up 44 goals — 16 more than the next-busiest (NED, BEL at 28). Bring popcorn; defending is optional in Group I.
