Ireland easily the best side here and I hope they don't regret having so much possession and not getting one in front. Loving Brady's deliveries. But they should have scored first half.

But Barcelona have learned to take a more direct route to goal. There are times they have to be patient because teams will still park the bus. But they've brought in Rakitic who goes back to front far more directly than Xavi did and Suarez who's direct by nature.

Spain slow the game down when they don't even need to. Silva has lost his edge, Iniesta is past his best and slows the game down, Fabregas isn't at his best playing that way, Nolito is frankly bollocks.

They've no urgency.

Got to agree with Finners (I'm afraid..)

Spain seem to want to walk the ball into the net. There's too much build up. I can see the Germans for example beating them with their sublime passing AND direct football when it's needed.

Spain have to shoot more. I'm also unsure with their striking options.

I'm lucky that when England play quite well but struggle to put away an inferior side I can really on Ireland to cheer me up.

quite a boring game. are Sweden the ultimate one-man team?!

Problem with Sweden and Ibra is that he's not really quick enough to lose a marker and the rest of the team aren't good enough to punish a team for man marking it doubling up on him.

For PSG, you can't focus purely on Ibra because Cavani, Moura or De Maria will punish you. There's more space for him because he's playing with good teams around him.

I've seen it a lot with Bale since he went to Real. When he plays for Wales now he's doubled up on all the team and marked intensely and we don't have a good enough team elsewhere to free him up and utilise the rest of the space.

Ronaldo has the same problem for Portugal. Portugal are a poor side and it doesn't matter how good Ronaldo is, if teams stick a few guys on him, the rest of the Portuguese team aren't good enough to take advantage.

interesting to see what Pearce's reaction is when/if Sweden score...

To be fair, Jonathan Pearce gets excited by everything. In the world cup he got excited by goal line technology when the ball hit the post and came out having gone nowhere near the line.

Absolute fanny. Worst commentator in the world.

Good strike from Hoolahan.

Top save by Randolph, really rate him, was brilliant at times for West Ham last season.
