Disco Posted July 7, 2010 Share Posted July 7, 2010 Schweinsteiger's performance tonight reminds me of Parker's against Arsenal. He's ran himself into the ground. He's great. We should...................... Only a daft cunt that knows nowt about football would want to bring him in man. Should sign an unknown Uruguayan instead.

TaylorJ_01 Posted July 7, 2010 Share Posted July 7, 2010 I know I am very late with this, but my goodness what a w***** Pedro is :lol: How does he play ahead of Silva and Navas for goodness sake?! Torres had to smack him right there on the pitch. Pedro had a good game tonight apart from that one on one, to be honest. He was by far Spain's best attacking player. I don't know how anybody can label Iniesta as "gash" either, he's had a good tournament considering he's probably only 80% fit. He hasn't had a good tournament. Was maybe harsh with the 'gash' but he's not performed well at all. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
madras Posted July 7, 2010 Share Posted July 7, 2010 i know some folk haven't thought spain have played so well in this tournament but it could be that they keep the ball so well that other teams are very organised against them and are tacticaly very good....but it's very hard work and i don't think its coinicedence that their goals have come latish on.

Taylor Swift Posted July 7, 2010 Share Posted July 7, 2010 How have Spain become the masters of winning 1-0? Schweinsteiger was the best player on the pitch, imo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy Posted July 7, 2010 Share Posted July 7, 2010 Xavi and Iniesta are on par with each other, as central midfielders, for me. Iniesta is more versatile and you could argue that that makes him a better player. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exiled in Texas Posted July 7, 2010 Share Posted July 7, 2010 So when Sam Allardyce watches Spain play, what part of his brain tells him that his philosophy of how football should be played is better that Spain's ?

ElDiablo Posted July 7, 2010 Share Posted July 7, 2010 With Hollands defence can only see Spain winning comfortably. Sneijder won't have much of the ball and Busquets will probably be all over him, which is one of their 3 potential match winners dealt with. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know how anybody can label Iniesta as "gash" either, he's had a good tournament considering he's probably only 80% fit. In a sense Torres may be thanking Pedro for not releasing him, he could have just seal a place in the team on Sunday because of Pedro's blunder, if he had sent Torres through and Torres messed it up, like he's been doing all tournament, then he would be lucky to get off the bench, in a world cup final.

Could Iniesta do what Xavi does in terms of completely controlling every single game he plays in? I've never seen him have anything other than a great game when he's played in the center. I agree entirely that his best position is central midfield, when he can dovetail with Xavi rather than playing out wide. But even when they do partner each other in midfield they don't play the same roles to the team. Xavi is much more important to the way they play, I've said it before but he runs the show for them in terms of dictating possession and play. Iniesta is a better dribbler and has quicker feet, he has a slightly different skillset, but he couldn't control a game as consistently like Xavi does because I don't think he has anywhere near the same passing range or footballing brain. Iniesta is better in a more advanced midfielder role where his quick feet and incisive passing can be utilised more, while Xavi is better deeper. Iniesta was injured for most of last season, and Barca still won the league. Take Xavi away for that length of time and I don't think they'd cope.
