Hey guys, do you know what could made Spain's play fun?
THE OTHER TEAM PUTTING A FIGHT.
Seriously people. At least a talented team could try to wreak havok in Spain's midfield and instill a bit of caos, but they all fall into the same trap.

I was just thinking about that, Brazil played at a much higher urgency and yet all the players could read each-other. Spanish style seems to lack the urgency.

So much hate. Thread's gonna be dreadful when Germany beats us.
Spain are just waiting for players to step out of position, Barca do this all the time and batter opponents because of it.

And they will if we ge to the final (and so do them), I have been saying it for a while.
That 2nd villa goal, I'll remember it till the day I die. That Messi pass to the sublime finish
Best vid I can find using sky's awesome commentary

Epic Messi pass.
God I missed Villa last season. I swear we could've won both league and CL with him.

"LOL DIVING"

"SPAIN IS STILL BORING RAGE"
"What is Spain going to do if the other team doesn't do anything"
"NOT BORING SOCCER"
Taken to some ridiculous extremes, as boring as I think the second half was. Hell I anticipated it which is why didn't go to a bar to celebrate despite how obviously we were gonna win. If the other teams are too scared to play well we're not gonna change strategy, which is why when Germany does we're fucking screwed.
So many times I cursed the TV saying 'Villa would have scored that'. I honestly believe if we had villa we would have won the CL, not taking anything away from Chelsea. Barca were afraid to shoot from outside the box vs chelsea. It's not a problem Villa shares with his team mates.

Changing the subjet a little bit, I'm amazed how good Ramos looks with a small beard and short hair.
It's hard to believe he's the same

He looks definitely better, but that pics are also pre-post nosejob.
La Squadra Azzura isn't going to let me down.
Also RONNNNAAAAAAAAAALLLLLLLLDOOOOOOOOO will kick Spain's butt.

The answer is obviously no.. we are trying to win.

What it means is.
Please Spain, change your successful style and give everybody else a chance.
What was once fun, isn't anymore, so your time of being great AND popular are over.
Slowly but surely the media are gonna portray Spain as the anti football negative team that wont let the other team have the ball.
They are starting to outstay their welcome
Spain's football is anti-football!
WTF are you lot even saying? If France bothered to attack the Spaniards instead of allowing them room to tiki-taka all over the place, we could have had an engaging match. Instead, it was Spanish domination. I think it's impressive, even if it doesn't lead to a lot of goals.

But that seems to be the current feeling towards Spain by some people on here and in certain parts of the media.
It's one thing that bothers me about football reporting is that this opinion will soon gather momentum and be regarded a fact.

We are not Engerland, that's for sure.
Reading English and France media talking about spanish sports is not a healthy thing to do.
They can't stand we win them on nearly everything.
At least we give the other team more possession before destroying their souls

People are just expressing what they feel about the unpleasant to watch pace killing tactics, noone in their right mind is asking for them to change away from their winning formula and actually expecting them to do it. Same with Greece, Italy or Chelsea when they were successful with less than fun to witness means.

All you moist ass cookie cutter mother fuckers are forgetting how Italy more than matched Spain's 'anti-football' in their opening group game. If anything Italy outplayed Spain that day and should've won.
The situation is just exasperated by how utterly abject France were, from both a tactical and performance standpoint. They barely pressed Spain after about 30 minutes and let them just get on with their game. The player's body language was astonishing, their desire was non-existant and when you've got a team headed by Benzema, the greediest and most wasteful striker of the tournament then you're going to find it hard to play as a team. The guy just fucking shoots, and it's more often than not shit. In this tournament; I know he's been fantastic for Real.
Football's a simple game: if you don't have the ball you can't score. Spain play with that in mind, and France looked like they forgot that tonight.

Exactly. It's basically rop-a-dope tactics. Which actually makes England the Muhmmad Ali of European football.
Edit:I think you mean exacerbated Arnie.
technically right now we are one of the top 4 teams in Europe.

Sorry I missed this post earlier, but did Spain play any differently in the last Euro's or the World cup they won?
Back then everybody loved them but the tide is starting to turn against them and I'm not sure why.
Sorry but I've got a bee in my bonnet tonight about how peoples perceptions change without any real evidence to support it
no.. we won every match in the WC by 1-0.
I think as the yrs have gone teams play us way more defensively.. so we just keep the ball until we find some space.. everyone always wants whoever is winning to fail.

Just look at France's midfielders. Look at them wet-farting around. HOW DOES THAT HAPPEN.
With a big word like that I let my iPhone go into auto pilot. It doesn't always boast good results.
Exactly. That gif, a gif of their midfield three spunking the ball about in an unproductive manner, and a gif of Benzema having a shit shot from a stupid position sums up their tournament. As a team they've been shit.
Hope Spurs get this Laurent Blanc fella.

But my point is, even just two years ago at the world cup, the common opinion was that the way Spain and Barca played was what everybody should be striving for.
I'm just pointing out how thats changed is all.
WTF Ramos had a nose job...wow! How vain/insecure can you be?! Dude can get pussy/dick when ever he wants...
