David28 Posted June 29, 2010 Share Posted June 29, 2010 Btw I think that Ronaldo looked absolutely shit at those 4 World Cup games. Shooting from about 50 metres instead of maybe giving a ball to your better standing team mate. And his "John Wayne freekick position" didn't help either. His free kicks were shit.

Segun Oluwaniyi Posted June 29, 2010 Share Posted June 29, 2010 Tbf, if the ball was actually as rubbish as everyone said, you'd think it would hurt Ronaldo more so than anyother player with the way he blisters his freekicks. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Village Idiot Posted June 29, 2010 Share Posted June 29, 2010 Back from the pub, we were outnumbered by those portuguese c***s but we had the last laugh. Villa's goal Villa playing with Xavi and Iniesta for an entire season And to people dissing our passing, you have to understand that after scoring we just passed it around to keep possession and run the clock down, it's not our fault that Portugal didn't even press after being one down.

TaylorJ_01 Posted June 29, 2010 Share Posted June 29, 2010 This wasn't exclusive to Spain, not by any means, but some of the control and passing by them in the first half was absolutely terrible. Iniesta especially. Not sure what they put in the water there. Sergio Ramos was absolutely brilliant. Didn't put a foot wrong and has an excellent delivery. Contreau for Portugal was quite impressive too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Village Idiot Posted June 29, 2010 Share Posted June 29, 2010 Ramos was rather shaky imho. He did the thing he always does where he never tracks back and exposes his side of the defense, most of Portugal's penetrations came from his side while he was away and Piqué had to cover his flank all the time. Llorente's sub made all the difference, Torres was like playing with 10-men. Utterly out of form. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TaylorJ_01 Posted June 30, 2010 Share Posted June 30, 2010 Ok, attacking wise he was great. Didn't think Portugal had too many penetrations however. But Ramos cross for Llorentes chance was perfect and he had a good shot himself to name a couple. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Village Idiot Posted June 30, 2010 Share Posted June 30, 2010 Are you Catalan and support Spain VI? This the case with most people from Catalunya? No it's not. But it's not like all Catalans are against it either. I support it because it's the team where Catalans play. Capdevila, Xavi, Piqué, Puyol, Cesc, Valdés, Busquets... we got quite the representation. It's not like I hate Spain either, even though I consider myself Catalan. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

When he grows a brain he'll be one of the best in that position. Looks like Mou wants to move him to CB though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cool, off to Barca again in a couple of weeks, last time I was there the copa america final was held and I saw it this amazing wee mexican bar full of Argentina and Brazil fans. I arrive on the day of the world cup final this time, meeting my friend, a season ticket holder with Barca. Will be fantastic if Spain are in the final and to see what the reaction is.

ElDiablo Posted June 30, 2010 Share Posted June 30, 2010 Would rather watch the Germans any day of the week than Spain. Different shakes but it's boring watching one side dominate possession without really going anywhere. Probably why I don't get the Barca love in either.

Ketsbaia Posted June 30, 2010 Share Posted June 30, 2010 Can't wait to see Barcelona play next season. And I hope Spain win it, although its not looking likely. They just need to drop Torres. Germany vs Argentina should be an absolute cracker though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

In Barça's case, an average of 2'7 goals per game these past two seasons beg to differ. But I can see why you'd prefer a more direct approach. I enjoy watching Germany.

Conjo Posted June 30, 2010 Share Posted June 30, 2010 Villa was offside for Spain's goal btw. Didn't see it mentioned in this thread. Apparently the producers is keen to not show replays to cover up refereeing mistakes after all the critique latley. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest optimistic nit Posted June 30, 2010 Share Posted June 30, 2010 Write the Future: Ronaldo, Drogba, Cannavaro, Ribéry, Rooney: All of their teams are now back home or on their way, in varying states of disappointment and disgrace. Ronaldo and Drogba scored one goal each (Ronaldo's against North Korea, after a slapstick build-up involving the ball coming off the back of his head). Rooney might as well have stayed in England. Ribéry was part of the ludicrous French mutiny. Cannavaro captained his side to ignominy, leading by piss-poor example. Oh, and let's not forget Ronaldinho, who didn't even get to South Africa. Great campaign, Nike! spain were infuriating until they scored. since around the 15th minute you could see villa on the left and torres in the centre wasn't working, yet del bosque watied a very long time to change it. soon as torres went off spain looked a different team. would prefer to see villa in the middle, hes the only one scoring goals for spain, yet he was in a position where for a 40 minute period he didn't even get the ball in a shooting position. he does seem to score goals there, but he'd surely score more if he was in torres' position. if villa is kept quiet for 90 minutes i just cant see how spain will score.
