Spain who?

[CutMeMick]

Fucking joke...
Argueably the greatest league in the world.
With argueably the greatest squad man for man and they fucken lose.

Like watching USA-Spain all over again (Swiss coach even said the game film he watched the most, over and over, was the Confederations Cup game.) You can bunker them. Push everything out wide, encourage them to cross the ball. Its not that easy but the gameplan is fairly straightforward.

And I think Reina is their best keeper at the moment but Casillas is the captain.

Chile-Spain is must see TV for soccer fans though. Chile would be offended by the idea of bunkering.

That was a fine result. Agreed about Chile/Spain, should be a quality game.

Torres slightly resembled a man yeserday. I was quite confused by it.

Switzerland just laid down the blueprint of how to nullify Spain - I can only see more of the same for them now!

P.S La Liga isn't even 'arguably' the best league! It has two teams that can compete with the top boys in the EPL

switzerland win against honduras would all but seal brazil vs spain in the 2nd round

That would be brilliant from England's point of view.

Absoloute wank at the back unfortunately for them

A half decent side including the likes of england, holland and germany who arent exactly known for there forward prowess should be too much for them to handle

This is a rubbish World Cup so far. When the most exciting team is Germany things are pretty bad. Having said that I'm basing this opinion on reading a few bits in the papers, I've only watched the England game and little bits of a few others.

Holland and Germany are two of the best attacking teams in the whole tournament.

Spain have a habit of bottling it at World Cups. I really can't see them winning it. Should be quality if we do get Spain-Brazil in the last 16. But wouldn't it be great if Switzerland and Chile get through?

Bloody Germans are looking good I'd pick them for the win if I wasn't English!

too early to say, australia have been pony for a while now and america pissed all over them during the warm ups.

germany, brazil or spain for me right now. But that could change with every game

I did say that far before the cup was starting but peoples were laughing at me: German have more chance to go further in the competition than most team: Most player are in the German leagues and their chemistry is damn good, plus they are tough physically and they play a style that normally traps and nullify the best elements of the other teams. I am surprised they did hit 4 goals though as I was expecting them to often win 2-1 or 1-0 with low scores. Thus far, it goes more or less as I anticipated

Shit that would be good, at what point would we meet the winner of this match if a miracle happened and we made it past the last 16?

On a side note, fingers crossed we avoid Germany in the next round...
