The Amazing Dale Watkins Posted June 14, 2021 Share Posted June 14, 2021 27 minutes ago, CFuller said: 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. The clear game plan was blatantly wasting time starting in the first half and banking on Morata and Moreno missing sitters? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
skybluedave Posted June 14, 2021 Share Posted June 14, 2021 Oh yeah agreed. They will get through group easy. But yeah I'm doubtful about winning whole thing. Unless somebody steps up and bags a few consistently Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigcwwe Posted June 14, 2021 Share Posted June 14, 2021 (edited) Thought this was a good game, both teams had some really good chances and both should've scored. A draw is the fair result imo. Spain should still get through the group. Terrible miss from Morata in the first half, can't say I expected him to put it away. If Spain make it to the KOs I think Moreno takes over as the no.9.

Hazzaj Posted June 15, 2021 Share Posted June 15, 2021 bit unfair to him, the header was a presentable chance but both of Morata's were much easier. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's as stubborn as it gets though, after he was criticised for playing Morata he's probably even more determined to show that he was right to pick him.

It's a big tournament, even just being there to soak in the atmosphere, see what a tourney is like, how matches go blah blah blah would be a worthy experience(especially for those who never been before) Especially prepares those young 'uns for future tournaments Quite a waste to not fill your slots and pretty short sighted imo Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
