Jordan Posted 10 June 2012 Posted 10 June 2012 Spain start with NO strikers!!!!! Perhaps Craig Levein isn't a terrible manager after all, but rather was just ahead of his time.
The Doctor Posted 10 June 2012 Posted 10 June 2012 Perhaps Craig Levein isn't a terrible manager after all, but rather was just ahead of his time. Thing being with a 4-6-0 you do need midfielders who can score, and Scotland barely have any strikers that can do that, let alone midfielders.
sphericalfox Posted 10 June 2012 Posted 10 June 2012 Well in fairness they are playing a Barca system with Silva, Fabregas, and Xavi, in a 4-3-3 formation. They are missing Villa, and Torres has been horrid. Makes sense to me.
Saxondale Posted 10 June 2012 Posted 10 June 2012 A team that everybody bums vs a team that everybody used to bum ten years ago.
Jordan Posted 10 June 2012 Posted 10 June 2012 Plus Pedro hasn't been too hot lately. I'd wonder why Llorente isn't getting a look--perhaps he comes off the bench if necessary--but I shouldn't second-guess del Bosque.
sphericalfox Posted 10 June 2012 Posted 10 June 2012 ITV coverage is fooking appalling! Director - I know let's go down to the restaurant and do the panel there with people eating their dinner in the background. Everyone - Brilliant idea. Insert random shit titles for shits and giggles Employment of Adrian Chiles. Emiliano from Milano looks like a creepy stalker over Chiles shoulder.
Matt Posted 10 June 2012 Posted 10 June 2012 Talk about cut backs, the BBC havn't even gone (As in Gary and the pundits) to Poland/Ukraine and the ITV have gone but havn't bothered getting a studio or going to the stadiums, they'll just broadcast from a cafe.
sphericalfox Posted 10 June 2012 Posted 10 June 2012 Jebus now they're plugging their inferior and shite website! It never fails to fail and crash whilst watching anything on it!

After that Panorama feature on Poland and Ukraine, I think it's wise of the BBC to stay home this summer.

Just noticed that ...... although i can't understand why we have to have 45mins of talk
OzFox Posted 10 June 2012 Posted 10 June 2012 I saw italy at a world cup once. Most tedious two hours of my life by far. I'd love to see them get annihilated but no doubt they'll fluke an early goal and spend the rest of the match diving, cheating and hair pulling. Same old.
sphericalfox Posted 10 June 2012 Posted 10 June 2012 Not one Spanish player singing the anthem....how odd?
Kitchandro Posted 10 June 2012 Posted 10 June 2012 I saw italy at a world cup once. Most tedious two hours of my life by far. I'd love to see them get annihilated but no doubt they'll fluke an early goal and spend the rest of the match diving, cheating and hair pulling. Same old. I saw Spain in one match and it was boring. And if we're talking about diving, cheating and hair pulling the Spanish and the Italians are as bad as each other.
Kitchandro Posted 10 June 2012 Posted 10 June 2012 I can definitely see why people like the Italy kit. I'm not sure it's that different to what we've currently got though. Spain kit is quite nice too considering its bog standard adidas design.
Fox You Forest Posted 10 June 2012 Posted 10 June 2012 I've just whacked a fiver on Mario to spontaneously combust, 4/1.
HEGGSY Posted 10 June 2012 Posted 10 June 2012 That Italy top really is the dog's bollocks. Can't wait for mine to arrive.
Finnegan Posted 10 June 2012 Posted 10 June 2012 I saw Spain in one match and it was boring. The difference is that Spain games being boring isn't really their fault. Xavi made a good point in an interview I read, talking about some of their one nil wins, there's not a lot they can do if the opposition set out to ruin. Can we really blame them for "being too good" if every team they face opts to shut up shop and park a fleet of busses? Some teams are boring, they throw everyone behind the ball and play anti-football. Spain don't do that, they don't WANT to play keep ball around the opposition area for ninety minutes, they WANT to play cutting football and score goals. But if some of the best and most organized defenses in the sport are going to rigidly deny them then its going to get tedious.

Guest Bilo Posted 10 June 2012 Posted 10 June 2012 Said it before and I'll say it again. Spain are the most boring team ever to win the World Cup. This is why I want Germany to win the Euros, let exciting football win the day.
