bgoefc Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 (edited) Great tournament imo. Am i alone? Count me in. If that had been England going through to a final of major comp for the third time on pens, or BWFC getting through to a cup final and either had played like that, there would be a completely different attitude. Thing is a lot are only followers of their club/ own country. The game is secondary, thats why they are not arsed or so uber critical.

Juan.Kerr Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 It's been a decent comp, in a domestic, workmanlike way. There's been nowt outstanding. Everyone did as well as they could be expected to. Spain showed themselves to be the lazy bastards we knew they were, just doing enough in each game. Poseur par excellance Ronaldo shot himself in the foot by thinking he would be the hero for Portugal with the last and winning penalty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get the impression people like Garp only got into football at a late age. It would be interesting to see if him, Traf and Homer actually played the game at a young age too?

I don't think there's a team in the world that works as hard as Spain when they've not got the ball, and when they have got the ball they work very hard at retaining it. Lazy? yeh right.

In my 26 yrs on this earth, I've only played tennis 3 times, but that doesn't mean I'm unable to realise how shit British tennis is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didledee Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 (edited) the most negative and boring team in the history of football Spain showed themselves to be the lazy bastards we knew they were, Utterly speechless, you only have to look at the likes of Greece in this tournament and England v Italy to give just 2 examples of negative football. The Spain of the last 4 years will go down as one of the greatest International teams of all time, if not the best, they haven't been at their best in this tournament granted, but they've been the better side in every game and their football v ROI was just as good as Germany's v Greece. Just because they have at times played with "shadow" strikers with midfielders in that position, doesn't mean it's negative, it's using variations, they've played 5 games, 2 with a striker, 3 with Cesc, they tire the teams down, then bring on the likes of Torres, Navaz and Pedro, it works, Spain were brilliant in extra time v Portugal, Navaz scored late on v Croatia and Torres came on v Italy and could have scored 2 with great chances. But I'm replying to someone who only comments on Spain matches with posts like "I've fell asleep" and "so boring" yet he still watches the game, why would you put yourself through that suffering? Not sure how serious you are anyhow, especially when you think Higuain is better than Messi also, it's like you choose to hate on the best and then come out with posts like "boring" and "most negative team ever" as reasons, do you really think those wild false statements are going to be taken seriously? sure you'll have Bolty and Homer chipping in sort of agreeing with you, but come on Higuain? worst team ever? Tiki Taka/passing football may not be everyone's cup of tea on here, but it'll be known as a great era of football and one teams are copying, so what if Spain haven't created loads of chances, they win games, still score and concede very few (when it matters) ---- And Lazy? Spain are the ultimate opposite of that word. You must see how hard they work both off and on the ball, their work rate is second to none, none stop pressing, none stop movement, have I been caught here?

stevieb Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 The reason I don't like watchin Spain of late is they don't take many risks. They don't cross the ball into the box from the wings hoping someone gets their head to it, they don't play on a counter attack, they won't take a punt at a shot unless they know they have a very strong chance of it goin in. They pass themselves out of what we would class as golden opportunities. They play at one of the slowest tempos know to man where every move they make is well thought out. They are to football what peter ebdon is to snooker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
