Linesmen must quite enjoy waving their flags in Spanish games. Their orchestral arrangement of intricate passing along with the fact that their inferior opponents sit deep, defending their penalty area like the Alamo, means that linesmen are much less likely to have to exercise their right to wave offside.
Sadly, the bloke running the line in Spain's Group D game with the Czech Republic has seen any favourable disposition to Spain brutally blown away by Alvaro Morata. Morata used the proximity of the ball as an excuse to dive wildly, two-footed in on the linesman, totally cleaning him out.
