miketheheadlesschicken Posted July 3, 2010 Share Posted July 3, 2010 Don't think Germany will be too scared of Spain tbh. Would rather Fabregas start against them. Think Spain will be happier playing against Germany. Pretty much every team has packed their defence against them. You'd have thought there'll be a bit more space for them. Del Bosque really needs to drop Torres. The team that finished should be closer to the starting line up against Germany than the one that started tonight.

Paul Bacon Posted July 3, 2010 Share Posted July 3, 2010 Makes you wonder why players are stupid enough to run into the box or the D during a pen. I know everyone does it, but why risk the ref retaking it? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daselend Posted July 3, 2010 Share Posted July 3, 2010 A deserved win, the first half was Paraguay better, the second half we dominated them, Germany is going to be hard, very very hard, even being positive, i think we're gonna lose, but well, if they deserve the win, i will be happy with the run of Spain in the tournament Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

cms186 Posted July 3, 2010 Share Posted July 3, 2010 spain were poor today, a lot of passing ( especially Alonso ) went astray, Torres needs dropping, theres no point playing him if hes not contributing anything to the team Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pukey Posted July 3, 2010 Share Posted July 3, 2010 Del Bosque really needs to drop Torres. The team that finished should be closer to the starting line up against Germany than the one that started tonight. Agreed. Villa should definitely be playing more central than outside left against germany, reckon he'd cause more problems there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RubenJ Posted July 3, 2010 Share Posted July 3, 2010 totally mad second half, highly entertaining. glad Spain are through, can't make it too easy on the damn Germans. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RubenJ Posted July 3, 2010 Share Posted July 3, 2010 and Del Bosque made both switches I suggested (only the wrong way, he brought Cesc on for Torres and Pedro for Alonso), would be nice to see that team start against Germany. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daselend Posted July 3, 2010 Share Posted July 3, 2010 Silva did a awful first game, iniesta is way better than silva, but i reckon it would be a good idea to put villa as a center forward while silva its in the left Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rio_V Posted July 4, 2010 Share Posted July 4, 2010 I might be being ignorant here, but I was fairly surprised to hear Villa shouting "Yeaaaah, come on". I'd have thought he'd shout something in Spanish. :confused: Not at all. I have noticed this a lot lately. I think it might have been a Japanese player that said the same thing. For some reason, "come on!" is a popular term lately. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Müller1469564937 Posted July 4, 2010 Share Posted July 4, 2010 When the hell did Spain get so boring/rubbish though? All tournament they've been awful but lucky. Agreed. The thing that I find funny is that they haven't even come up against a decent team yet. They're in the semi-final of the WC and they haven't actually played a good team. Their group literaly was one of the worst groups I've ever seen in WC history. If it wasn't for David Villa's ability to score against lesser teams, they'd probably be home already.

VamPook Posted July 4, 2010 Share Posted July 4, 2010 Iker Casillas today highlighted the role played by Pepe Reina in his dramatic penalty save from Oscar Cardozo in Spain's World Cup quarter-final victory over Paraguay on Saturday night.With the scoreline still goalless, the Real Madrid goalkeeper thwarted the striker from 12 yards allowing Spain to go on and book a place in the last four of the tournament thanks to David Villa's late winner. And Casillas has revealed Reina told him beforehand where Cardozo would strike the ball, having faced two spot-kicks against the Paraguayan during Liverpool's Europa League clash with Benfica in April. "Reina told me where Cardozo would shoot. He is phenomenal," said Casillas. Spain will now meet Germany in the semi-finals on Wednesday evening in a repeat of the 2008 European Championship final. Casillas added: "This team has a lot of quality and can go very far. But we have to be careful because Germany has a great team and we need to have respect for them." Our hero! .

ROESIDER Posted July 4, 2010 Share Posted July 4, 2010 Jonathan Pearce, "He'll not get up in a hurry. He'll stay down for a while." Yes, perhaps he mightn't jump back to his feet after being kicked in the head. What a bloody dullard. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ROESIDER Posted July 4, 2010 Share Posted July 4, 2010 Why is David Silva out of the team now? And seemingly down the pecking order. He doesn't really suit the style they're going for at the moment and he was pretty stinking earlier on. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuyvesant Posted July 4, 2010 Share Posted July 4, 2010 I actually thought the ref was horribly baised in Spain's favour. Giving a free kick every time a Spanish player looked like going down, and obviously allowing Spain to retake a penalty when in the exact same circumstances he didn't allow Paraguay to retake one. Overall I think this world cup will be remembered for the abysmal refereeing, and so called star-players not performing - but this is nothing new I guess.

DJ Posted July 4, 2010 Share Posted July 4, 2010 If he was biased, surely he'd have let Spain's penalty count? That was my thought as well. Why are people always looking for the ref being biased, by the way? I'd say most of them whistle to honour and ability (ability being the sore point for several of course. No disrespect meant, but refs from for example Mali? Disaster waiting to happen.). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
