Fox in the North Posted 27 June 2012 Posted 27 June 2012 I'll be honest I'm surprised it didn't start earlier
davieG Posted 27 June 2012 Author Posted 27 June 2012 We should add time on for all the wasted time setting up free kicks, don't why anyone is concerned that GL technology will slow the game down.
lcfcsnow Posted 27 June 2012 Posted 27 June 2012 Whole Portugal back 4 on a yellow card so Spain decide to play rest of the game without a forward? Come on Portugal get rid of these.
Bert Posted 27 June 2012 Posted 27 June 2012 Whomever still claims that Spain are playing an intriguing, tactical masterful type of football in a "clever 4-6-0"... Fück off. Nothing bores me more than backpasses and sideways passes on a steady basis, before finally managing to create something upfront (following felt 64+ passes, after which the majority in the audience will have sunken into a deep slumber). And how interesting are constant ball possession stats in the 65% range?? And where the fück are the Spanish strikers, eh? Please, Portugal. Bring this terrible idea of "entertaining" the masses to an end. I can't take it no more. Spain are unbearable to watch. To me. Been saying it for ages now but in relation to Barcelona. Spain are very similar to them. Boring hell.
davieG Posted 27 June 2012 Author Posted 27 June 2012 How many shots have sailed over the cross bar in these Championships/
marko Posted 27 June 2012 Posted 27 June 2012 Nail on the head MC Prussian!!! I wonder if Iniesta will still claim Spain aren't boring. Utter dross to watch.
Guest Bilo Posted 27 June 2012 Posted 27 June 2012 Spain are Barcelona minus the attacking verve. They're slower in moving the ball, attack with zero urgency, continuously pass it across the back four and are just dull beyond all human tolerance. Portugal the better side tonight, hope they make the final.
acooling08 Posted 27 June 2012 Posted 27 June 2012 Agree with Davie, it's amazing how poor the finishing has been in the tournament. Given up with this game unless it goes to penalties, after seeing a fantastic challenge resulting in yet another yellow card, I just cba to watch it anymore. I've seen much much better football at the KP.
Captain... Posted 27 June 2012 Posted 27 June 2012 Whole Portugal back 4 on a yellow card so Spain decide to play rest of the game without a forward? Come on Portugal get rid of these. Without a forward? Iniesta, Navas, Pedro and Febregas offer more of a goal threat than what we started with on Sunday, they started with a forward and he was shite. It has not been a classic, but it is more a case of the 2 teams cancelling each other out, Portugal haven't let Spain settle, and Portugal have been more concerned with stopping Spain. Spain's problem is they don't want to play another way, they could throw on Llorente and play more direct, but it didn't work with Negredo and Torres didn't look great when he played (Ireland apart, but that doesn't count).
Fox in the North Posted 27 June 2012 Posted 27 June 2012 I've seen much much better football at the KP. You jest surely?
Corky Posted 27 June 2012 Posted 27 June 2012 I've seen much much better football at the KP. Did you miss a lot of the dross that was served up at the KP this year?
Guest Bilo Posted 27 June 2012 Posted 27 June 2012 You jest surely? I genuinely think Swansea are more entertaining with a similar philosophy.
lcfcsnow Posted 27 June 2012 Posted 27 June 2012 Can't understand why Varela has rarely played, he looked brilliant in the first two group games.
davieG Posted 27 June 2012 Author Posted 27 June 2012 The ref's been so inconsistent some players booked for nothing and others shouldn't still be on the pitch but i guess it wouldn't fit in with Platini's wishes for the tourno to have one of these players sent off. What with that and the player histrionics it's been an awful game to watch whatever you think of the actual style of football.
Bert Posted 27 June 2012 Posted 27 June 2012 Barcelona boring? Brilliant. It's called having an opinion. Don't find them exciting to watch in the slightest.
acooling08 Posted 27 June 2012 Posted 27 June 2012 You jest surely? No, the game is shit. How many attempts on target? Did you miss a lot of the dross that was served up at the KP this year? I didn't specify this year, and I know there has been some very poor football there at times, but on other occasions there has been more excitement in 2 minutes than the whole Spain-Portugal game.
purpleronnie Posted 27 June 2012 Posted 27 June 2012 It's called having an opinion. Don't find them exciting to watch in the slightest. Who do you find exciting to watch?
Bert Posted 27 June 2012 Posted 27 June 2012 Who do you find exciting to watch? To be honest I don't quite know. Arsenal maybe, just a bit more speed about their whole gameplay. Don't get me wrong Barca play great football and are a fantastic team, i just find it boring.
Mack Posted 27 June 2012 Posted 27 June 2012 This has been dreadful. Spain make far too many pointless passes for my liking.
marko Posted 27 June 2012 Posted 27 June 2012 The commentators are pretty annoying as well. They seem to be up Spain's arse at any minute opportunity.
MC Prussian Posted 27 June 2012 Posted 27 June 2012 To be honest I don't quite know. Arsenal maybe, just a bit more speed about their whole gameplay. Don't get me wrong Barca play great football and are a fantastic team, i just find it boring. Barcelona are great to watch, because they have Lionel Messi, who adds that special spark up front (plus Alexis Sanchez, who's almost as brilliant at times). The Spanish national team would like to play like Barcelona, but are more a case of a boring, epic fail. I'd like to start a petition for Spain to participate in their own tournament, where they can play against themselves only. The European Championship and World Championship would in a better state without them.
