Si Posted July 1, 2018 Share Posted July 1, 2018 England just need to play it 1 game at a time. Something which I think southgate will be good at. If Gaz is currently storming round the resort topless, waistcoat waving around his head, with Vindaloo and 3 Lions on repeat he needs sacking. fyp Needs a 5 year contract extension more like.

Segun Oluwaniyi Posted July 1, 2018 Share Posted July 1, 2018 Fuck Russia like. Spain didn't do enough, but Russia are just another rank team that sit back and pray. I thought Russia played quite good football against the sides that let them, tbh. Some of their play against what was thought to be a decent Egypt side was impressive. Spain is just much, much better and they tired massively in the second half. It was just a matter of hanging on at that point. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Posted July 1, 2018 Share Posted July 1, 2018 Man, all we had to do was qualify. God damn it all. Didn’t you lose to fucking us in a friendly a few weeks ago? I dunno. Sounds plausible. We're fucking shit. It was the big send-off for one of our greats, the incomparable John O’Shea. That’s the type of team you’re losing to. Again, we're fucking dogshit. I know this, alright? Still though, we would have walked the group and be perfectly poised to bring the WC home. http://otbva.com/forum/images/smilies2/th_larrydavidehhh.png http://www.otbva.com/forum/core/images/smilies2/th_chadjohnson.png Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rompe Posted July 1, 2018 Share Posted July 1, 2018 Happy to see Spain out just so the biggest cunt and cheat in football goes home. He even tried to put off Cherychev as he took a pen, little twat. You wanted the cheat Sergio Ramos to go home, you'd rather have sweet old doping Russia in the World Cup. Is that ironic or not? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted July 1, 2018 Share Posted July 1, 2018 Spain were rubbish, but they should be in the quarters if the officials had done their job. The penalty review which was turned down was a joke, I don't see the point in having VAR if you can look past two clear and obvious fouls when they are right there in black and white. Defenders grabbing players and shirts has been a massive problem and I really thought VAR would see an end to it, but apparently not. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I personally prefer fast direct football (Klopp at Liverpool and Dortmund) compared to what Spain play. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spain are the very opposite to that imo. Why is it seen as standard to think possession football = good football by default? It's inherently negative if you do it in the way Spain do, with no intention to play with real vigor or allow natural transitions in a game. It's absolutely no better than the way Russia set up, especially when you consider the ridiculous talent pool Spain have. You can be fair and say it's certainly been very successful for them after years of failure, but good to watch? Inherently good football? Not for me. It's attritional murder by a thousand paper cuts.

ponsaelius Posted July 1, 2018 Share Posted July 1, 2018 There's a huge difference between Barca 2008-2012 and the Spain team of the same time. One of them has Messi for a start, but generally always played a front 3 and a balanced midfield, with lots of runners and moving the ball at pace. Spain just packed their midfield and played width-less, paceless dirge. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
