So happy right now , spain have BORED the crap out of me for 6 years , with no real strong international teams to go at them in that period barring 1 or 2 , they looked better than they were

and nick why dont you just open up an official world cup thread in the main board , discuss everything there??

 

[Nick]

Much easier to just create a thread for each game

Maybe Spains problem lies with playing a centre forward ,which they never did during their dominant spell .


They seem to get less protection from referees know which used to be a massive + for them ,their movement and tempo has dwindled away over the last season.

2-0, even better!

 

[wingy]

Oh and their goalie seems to have had a breakdown,not the man he used to be.

I thought they would go without a centre forward tonight, they are in a deep hole now.

 

[Nick]

The winners to be the first team out? They need to pull something out now!

Disagree there Wingy, it was only the last Euros 2012 in which Spain didn't play a striker, in the euro 2008 Torres played up front (scored winner), and the last World Cup 2010 Villa played up top.

I just think that age is catching up on them.

Thought I might get a tug over that comment as uncertain.

However while I'll let you have Torres I just don't see Villa as a true CF due to his size.

They look like a long season has taken its told and they just don't fancy it! Pace is an issue and Chile look a lot more hungry for it. Hats off to them for many years of success but end of an era!

 

[turlykerd]

Holy shit what a miss by biscuits

 

[wingy]

Costas not working out for them.

 

[wingy]

[wingy]

Spain nearly put out of their misery.

About as flat as their Economy.

Has Chile's keeper had a save to make !!

Possibly one tame one first half.

You've got to love Chile. Their attitude and team play has been top class.

 

[Otis]
