Poison Performance by the Spainish

[Thants]

Well done Switzerland, you bunch of cunts.

[Unrighteous]

that Navas is shit.

[Mojo]

Let's buy some of these Swiss defenders! We got the wrong one in Degen!

[Thants]

Shittest world cup ever!

 

It'll get better but fuck me its been dire at times.

 

Did you watch the last 3 games? Good games.

[DJLJ]

Well that was money well wasted. Fucking hell.

[Unrighteous]

Spain will take six points out of their next two games though.

[shanks69]

well in switzerland they had a game plan stuck to it and won,and could have scored more.

[Mendoza]

Jonathan Pearce pronouncing Casillas 'Cassius.' What a daft shit.

[Woo]

Disappointing from Spain but fair play to the Swiss. They were organised, disciplined and hard working. Once Senderos went off they were much more solid at the back, and Spain kept knocking balls into the box, which suited Switzerland fine. Can see Inler and Benaglio both possibly in the Premiership next season (Arsenal linked with them both strongly), and both were impressive today. I reckon that Lichensteiner will end up at Inter if Maicon goes to Real as well.

 

What a shit World Cup this has been. Absolutely awful for the most part.

Hairy blighters, that was a turn up.

Is there a duller co-commentator than George Whitebread?

Bollocks. This starting to remind me of the 2004 European Cup. Shit teams winning with shit football.

[Redder Lurtz]

kinell :wow:

[ODZ]

This world cup is shit.

[Ezekiel 25:17]

We've just had a massive fucking shock result you never see, the European champions unable to break a strong Swiss back line and give them a lesson in defending, how the hell can anyone say that added to the shit World cup tag ?? great game.

[Red Mist]

Hitzfield for Liverpool manager please. Several Bundesliga titles and 2 fucking European Cups. Staggering record, sign him up Purslow, you cunt.

Exactly.

[Brownie]

How the fuck did Spain lose that game? All of the ball, created chances and just couldn't score. Everyone is going on about how well Switzerland played but if Iniesta's shot is 3 inches to the left and Alonso's shot is 3 inches lower, then Spain win and everyone drools over their football.

 

Switzerland didn't block those shots, they were just really unlucky not to go in. One of those days unfortunately for Spain.

 

I thought that Del Bosque missed a trick with his selection; Busquets just wasn't needed at all. Alonso totally ran the game (he was awesome) and the Swiss were so deep that Spain needed two strikers on the pitch from the start. I'm sure we'll see Torres start the next game

 

As for David Silva, he's in Frank Ribery territory; over-rated beyond belief.

[TheHitman]

Well done to the Swiss, the two defeats in the past 49 games for Spain have been against the USA and Switzerland who have a similar game plan. Spain should win their next two if they can recover mentally though.

Could not agree more.

Bless some serious tears been shed over Alonso in this thread.

The Swiss defended well, but Spain didn't score because they weren't smart with the ball. Spain beat themselves.

[Trumo]

I reckon that Lichensteiner will end up at Inter if Maicon goes to Real as well.

 

Nah. Rafa's got his eye on another Swiss right-back!

 

Everybody has now played a game, and the surprise result comes from the last two sides left to play. It was exactly like when Spain played the USA last year, although the Swiss were opened up far less than the Americans.

 

The Barcelona midfield twins are looking a little burnt-out it seems. Torres was rusty and it showed. We've seen him pounce on those many times, run through and pass it beyond the keeper. This time his touch was a little heavy.

Navas made a difference early on, but then failed to pick out a teammate despite umpteen crosses.

 

I would certainly not write them off though. Quite often you see top teams lose their opening game, then get through to the final anyway. I'm thinking Argentina in 1990 and Italy in 1994. The current Spanish team are much better than those two, but need to show a bit more urgency. A striker playing off the last defender would help then find space in behind.

 

They have the ability, but they just need the will.

[Guest Pistonbroke]

Fooking bookies must be loving this World cup the twats.

 

Spain huffed and puffed but didn't have enough to blow a dolls house over in the end. Swiss defended superbly for a lot of that match. Be a serious lack of masturbating over Spain on the internet tonight.

 

Makes this group interesting now and indeed who will play who in the last 16.
