World Cup LD

[Thriller Ant]

Man, Spain looks absolutely horrendous

 

[Richard Blonoff]

Nice goal off the rebound.

 

[Dirk]

 

[Thriller Ant]

The ESPN commentators are beside themselves at how badly Casillas played that

 

[Richard Blonoff]

Wouldn't be surprised to see a Spanish player get a red in the second half.

 

[MCMG]

I still rate Javi Martinez as the best holding mid in the world. It would help if they played him there.

 

[Thriller Ant]

Wouldn't be surprised to see a Spanish player get a red in the second half.

Agreed. The whole team is pissed and gives 0 fucks now that they've pretty much guaranteed that their next game will be the final game for them.

 

[Dirk]

Supersport's Neil Andrews is calling this a massive upset, but is it really? Following that Dutch spanking, a draw would probably an acceptable result for Spain now.

 

[Loveless]

Spain have come out looking motivated. Bit late now though.

 

[Loveless]

Busquets you twat

 

[Барбоса]

Busquets you twat

High on my list of disliked footballers so I loved that miss.

 

[Loveless]

Here comes Fernando "Goal machine" Torres. Spain are fucked

 

[Dirk]

High on my list of disliked footballers so I loved that miss.

Don't be a lemon.

 

[Gelgarin]

Torres should have started.

 

[Richard Blonoff]

A goal there and we may have seen Spain just say fuck it and walk off. That motivation they had at the start of the second half has gone out the window.

 

[Blade]

Cesc should've started. It's frustrating seeing him not used properly by Del Bosque. Cesc was the one who got the only assist during Spain's win in the last World Cup final. And he still doesn't get the recognition he deserves.

 

[Барбоса]

Cesc went back to Barcelona about three years too early, especially if he wanted to play in the centre of midfield.

Playing out of position his whole time at Barca has ruined his reputation with Spain.

 

[Tastycles]

Torres is fucked. Too many games before he was 20. Same thing happened to Owen, Kluivert etc. If Rooney is still a good player at 30, he'll owe it to Moyes not overplaying home when he was a teenager.

 

[Loveless]

Well that's not the way you want a great team to end..

Chile vs Holland will be good, neither will want Brazil. More interesting though if Mexico steal 1st.

 

[Dowdsy McDowds]

Chile vs Holland will be good, neither will want Brazil. More interesting though if Mexico steal 1st.

They may not want to play them but I don't think either team would fear them. Holland - Brazil would be tight but if Chile played the same way they did tonight then they could definitely put Brazil out which would only boost their confidence all the more.

You can add Anelka and Pato to that list. And Wilshere might be well on his way, too.

 

[Барбоса]

Quite a few names who failed to get over that first big injury.

 

[Whap Me Jungles]

Speaking of injury, Ronaldo may not play again if he doesn't get a particularly long rest. Either way, it's the end of one of the greatest players in the world.

 

[Tastycles]

One of my favourite football facts is that Ruud van Nistelrooy and Patrick Kluivert were born on exactly the same day. Which is amazing, because Kluivert was basically finished before van Nistelrooy got to Manchester United.

 

[Барбоса]

Also Van Nistelrooy's first name is actually Rutgerus
