Tielemans63 Posted 19 June 2012 Posted 19 June 2012 Viva Espana! Although I think the French could spring a surprise. This striker-less Spain side haven't looked that great so far. They really miss David Villa.
Rocket-Ron Posted 23 June 2012 Posted 23 June 2012 Think France are going to win this!!! Looking forward To it.
stix Posted 23 June 2012 Posted 23 June 2012 Ive had France to win it all. Bit optimistic but they definately have the personnel to get there.
Matt Posted 23 June 2012 Posted 23 June 2012 Thinking Torres first goalscorer (If he's playing obviously) and a 1-1 draw, after that i'm undecided.
Matt Posted 23 June 2012 Posted 23 June 2012 Apparently Spain are to employ the no striker formation again. I used to like Spain, I hope to god they lose tonight, really disliking them now, boring to watch, do everyone a favour and get knocked out! (That's not to say I like France though! ) From the BBC; Spain boss Vicente del Bosque opts to make one change from the side which beat Croatia 1-0 in their last group game. He goes for the no-striker formation he employed against Italy as midfielder Cesc Fabregas replaces striker Fernando Torres. France make four changes. Centre-back Laurent Koscielny, right-back Anthony Reveillere, central midfielder Yohan Cabaye and left midfielder Florent Malouda come into the side as Philippe Mexes is suspended. Samir Nasri, Alou Diarra and Hatem Ben Arfa all drop to the bench.
VinceNoir Posted 23 June 2012 Posted 23 June 2012 No strikers again this will be like playing Fifa without the circle button I kind of want Spain to go out now, but on the other hand, I don't want France through. Maybe if Ribery ****s Busquets up the arse on the pitch in front of the world, UEFA will have to chuck both teams out.

(That's not to say I like France though! ) From the BBC; if thats the case im bettine fabregas to beat ribery in goals scored in the match.. 3/1
lcfcsnow Posted 23 June 2012 Posted 23 June 2012 Spain need to be knocked out for the good of the game, I'd hate for other teams play this no striker tactic.
Guest Bilo Posted 23 June 2012 Posted 23 June 2012 Supposed to be a yawn but crying out for Photoshop.
davieG Posted 23 June 2012 Author Posted 23 June 2012 They may have no strikers/forwards but it hasn't stopped them attacking and scoring.
MC Prussian Posted 23 June 2012 Posted 23 June 2012 Spain are great... if you're a Spain fan. Personally, they bore me to death. Little urge forward with all their composure, don't allow the opposition to do anything (creative). The lacklustre atmosphere inside the stadium doesn't help, either. *Yawn*

Everything about this match is dull.
MooseBreath Posted 23 June 2012 Posted 23 June 2012 ITV's little ad break image in the top right is more entertaining than the game
BlueSi13 Posted 23 June 2012 Posted 23 June 2012 Terrible. Absolutely terrible. On a plus note however, the media's constant wanking off to Spain's "style" of football is beginning to subside thankfully. Bubble beginning to burst?
davieG Posted 23 June 2012 Author Posted 23 June 2012 It would add to the entertainment if France could actually string more than two passes together and some of their ball control is not even championship level, I keep looking for the bag of cement.
MC Prussian Posted 23 June 2012 Posted 23 June 2012 @ Ménéz: "Ma, vaffanculo!" directed at the referee. At least someone who cares.
Rocket-Ron Posted 23 June 2012 Posted 23 June 2012 I thought yellow cards were wipped after group stages??
