Quarter-Final 3 - Game 27

Vs

 

[Loveless]

This one is really key for the whole tournament. If Spain win then we're looking at a Spain Germany final, if France win then you might as well hand Germany the trophy now.

 

[SEMM]

Should be a decent match, both sides are very good. Apparently the French team got into trouble after the Sweden match, so it's not exactly the best situation for France.

 

[SEMM]

Spain not starting any strikers again. Fuck sake.

 

[Loveless]

Muuuuuuuuh because it's worked so well so far.

 

[Ming]

Really?

I feel that it's been holding them back. Although Fabregas has scored, his movement isn't the best, it's just unnatural for him. Spain get so many more chances/goals when they play Torres.

 

[Loveless]

Yeah that was sarcasm

France are playing without a striker too, they've only got Benzema up there.

 

[SEMM]

Benzema is quite possibly the only striker I've seen that NEVER goes into the penalty box.

 

[Loveless]

Spain look to be in charge but lack a cutting edge

 

[One Punch Doug Crashin]

This is gonna be good!

 

[One Punch Doug Crashin]

GGGGGGGGGGOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL ESPANIA! Xabi Alonso

 

[Ming]

France aren't very good. Certainly not as good as they looked going into the tournament.

Spain got this.

 

[Loveless]

1-0

Goooooooooaal!
Alonso!​

Damn files

 

[Барбоса]

somehow Spain do not score as many goals as they should

 

[Loveless]

Too easy for Spain

 

[Барбоса]

Do the French really have the defensive steel or mindset to do what needs to be done to beat Spain?

 

[One Punch Doug Crashin]

Casillas taking care of business.

 

[Loveless]

Do the French really have the defensive steel or mindset to do what needs to be done to beat Spain?

I think they did beat Spain not that long ago.

 

[Ming]

Do the French really have the defensive steel or mindset to do what needs to be done to beat Spain?

No. Only a few teams do.

 

[Барбоса]

Like Switzerland

 

[Loveless]

Very routine. Spain in complete control and France disappointing, they'll need to change their approach.

 

[Dowdsy McDowds]

Why are the pundits acting surprised at Malouda being shite?

 

[Ming]

Like Switzerland

Of course Spain have the occasional blip.

 

[The Cult]

I'm hoping France comeback! As an England fan If we beat Italy I'd rather play France in the semi than Spain.... France have been poor though.

The winner of England/Italy is gonna be playing Germany.
