like to see navas come on, not sure who would come off though, it's usually silva but he's been good
oof, great chance lovely from modric.

he's not the best on the ball but spain should still occasionally pass to arbeloa when he's in acres of space out wide level with the penalty area
both him and alba look like they're offering interesting options out wide, but spain seem to be determined to stick with the ineffectual 10m wide attacking line.
saaaave.
― Merdeyeux, Monday, 18 June 2012 20:03 (fourteen years ago)
well he's on but now has no-one to cross too. hm
― pandemic, Monday, 18 June 2012 20:04 (fourteen years ago)
not quite a sitter but rakitic should've scored there
― sonderangerbot, Monday, 18 June 2012 20:06 (fourteen years ago)
spain are there for the taking
― pandemic, Monday, 18 June 2012 20:06 (fourteen years ago)
srna and perisic taking the gareth bale magical go faster stripes to new extremes
― dis civilization and its contents (nakhchivan), Monday, 18 June 2012 20:09 (fourteen years ago)
well he's on but now has no-one to cross to
Yeah that passage with him cutting up & down the touchline and no outball was hopeless
― Ismael Klata, Monday, 18 June 2012 20:09 (fourteen years ago)
they shd play the barcelona midfield three with silva and navas either side of torres
kind of feel xabi is there for political reasons to some extent
― dis civilization and its contents (nakhchivan), Monday, 18 June 2012 20:12 (fourteen years ago)
agreed
― Number None, Monday, 18 June 2012 20:13 (fourteen years ago)
spain haven't got anyone on the pitch likely to score imo. Should get cesc on. I really think croatia will score and tbh spain wouldn't be hard done by.
― pandemic, Monday, 18 June 2012 20:15 (fourteen years ago)
Why not Llorente? I know Cesc has scored once from deep but it's not like having a forward-forward on.
― Ismael Klata, Monday, 18 June 2012 20:17 (fourteen years ago)
i just assume torres is the only CF who is going to get any playing time
― pandemic, Monday, 18 June 2012 20:18 (fourteen years ago)
yeah playing both xavi and xabi alonso doesn't even make sense in theory
― sonderangerbot, Monday, 18 June 2012 20:18 (fourteen years ago)
Ireland looking vaguely dangerous
― Number None, Monday, 18 June 2012 20:18 (fourteen years ago)
lol i forgot mata was even in the squad
― pandemic, Monday, 18 June 2012 20:19 (fourteen years ago)
del bosque has fucked up today
― dis civilization and its contents (nakhchivan), Monday, 18 June 2012 20:19 (fourteen years ago)
spain leaving themselves short handed at the back is madness
― pandemic, Monday, 18 June 2012 20:22 (fourteen years ago)
i wouldn't say Italy are holding on exactly but...

shoot FFS

that was pathetic
― sonderangerbot, Monday, 18 June 2012 20:23 (fourteen years ago)
the worst elements of arsenal
― pandemic, Monday, 18 June 2012 20:24 (fourteen years ago)
omg Spain, ffs FFS FFS
― PSOD (Ste), Monday, 18 June 2012 20:24 (fourteen years ago)
actually arsenal aren't usually this bad
So often they do that, get in behind then turn back to ensure possession instead. Busquets' is only the most criminal example.
― Ismael Klata, Monday, 18 June 2012 20:26 (fourteen years ago)
not quite sure why spain do high corners into the box when they don't have puyol.
― Merdeyeux, Monday, 18 June 2012 20:29 (fourteen years ago)
Ireland have now fielded all five of their strikers in this game. Some of them even played up front
― Number None, Monday, 18 June 2012 20:29 (fourteen years ago)
i guess i'm not a football sophisticate because this no CF thing isn't my thing*

D'oh.

Navas not offside?
― Ismael Klata, Monday, 18 June 2012 20:31 (fourteen years ago)
on the other hand they DID walk it in
― pandemic, Monday, 18 June 2012 20:31 (fourteen years ago)
yeah thought he was off
nope
Great, great movement from Iniesta. He did well not turning back there.
― Ismael Klata, Monday, 18 June 2012 20:32 (fourteen years ago)
um, surely Navas was "active" there
― Number None, Monday, 18 June 2012 20:32 (fourteen years ago)
can i say how much i love players booting it in as hard as possible when clean through on the goalline?

It's up to you now, Ireland

now that's how you tap in a tap-in
― r|t|c, Monday, 18 June 2012 20:33 (fourteen years ago)
if croatia equalise are they through? On goals scored vs Ireland?
― pandemic, Monday, 18 June 2012 20:33 (fourteen years ago)
rocket into the roof of the net from navas.
― Merdeyeux, Monday, 18 June 2012 20:33 (fourteen years ago)
Mario!
Lovely from Mario.
WOW
― gyac, Monday, 18 June 2012 20:33 (fourteen years ago)
haha now he brings on a striker
― mizzell, Monday, 18 June 2012 20:33 (fourteen years ago)
negredo is more talented than llorente imo
better scoring record for spain too
― dis civilization and its contents (nakhchivan), Monday, 18 June 2012 20:34 (fourteen years ago)
Keith Andrews can get fucked as well.
― gyac, Monday, 18 June 2012 20:34 (fourteen years ago)
MARIO
