A one-on-one VS the left back, no matter how deep he is, he's likely to beat him and create danger. If there's one thing the players on the pitch don't lack it's the ability to get the ball into the final third and then waste it with bad execution or a bad decision...

noikeee Posted June 14, 2021 Share Posted June 14, 2021 Spain somehow managed to repeat exactly what they did against us Portugal in the penultimate friendly - hold the ball all day, create industrial shittons of chances, and waste everything.

Haguey Posted June 14, 2021 Share Posted June 14, 2021 Good 0-0, both teams wasted chances, Sweden could have won just as much as Spain. Spain the same problem they had in 2018, can't score despite all the 'great' pretty passing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
enigmatic Posted June 14, 2021 Share Posted June 14, 2021 I guess if you're going to finish that badly in a tournament, you want it in a draw in a group stage you expect to get out of it. I think Sweden subbing Isak off because threatening to score might make Spain angry summed the game up Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
CFuller Posted June 14, 2021 Share Posted June 14, 2021 Sweden came to Seville with a clear gameplan, and fair play to them - it's worked brilliantly. It's no accident that they've conceded so few goals in their recent matches. Spain very wasteful again. I can't see them going very far in this tournament.

Pukey Posted June 14, 2021 Share Posted June 14, 2021 They looked slow at times but they still created loads of chances. Second half was worse but even then they created enough to win it. If they win that 3-0, which they could easily have done, people would be talking about a great performance. Not sure how they'll be against better opposition but I'll be amazed if they don't cruise through Poland and Slovakia. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

skybluedave Posted June 14, 2021 Share Posted June 14, 2021 Are they good enough to win each game 1-0 though like in 2010? Don't think their defence is and I'm not sure who's gonna get them the goals they need. Are you confident in anyone in that side grabbing 4/5 goals on way to a final?
