Crappy game.. dread to think what the final will be like because tonight's game seemed like a better prospect

Mac daddy · 07-07-2010 09:22PM

bah bloody spanish

Super-Rush · 07-07-2010 09:22PM

Nice.

At last two teams who like to play football are in the final. Heres to a sh1the match :rolleyes:

tolosenc · 07-07-2010 09:24PM

Holland should finally win it this year. Spain are hugely overrated. If Mueller had played, it'd be a different result...

Yeah the current European champions are overrated. Are you for real?

peasant · 07-07-2010 09:27PM

Spain are such losers ...if Germany had won, they would have done so 4 : 0 !

:D:D:D

tolosenc · 07-07-2010 09:29PM

They're boring to watch, they don't score...

bonerm · 07-07-2010 09:33PM

Well done Spain. For those complaining of a dull game, blame Germany.

That's six games out of six where teams have tried nothing-much against Spain other than to nullify them. They deserve their place in the final if only for overcoming that.

I think most people had such high hopes for Spain to set this tournament alight. I can not actually remember how good Spain's performance was at the Euros, was our views of them exagerated by finally seeing a Spanish team playing as a unit rather than a bunch of individuals. Spain deserve to be in the final and I would not mind seeing them win it

mardybumbum · 07-07-2010 09:39PM

My best friend is from Holland.
Im hoping they get thrashed on Sunday.

Apanachi · 07-07-2010 09:39PM

Spain were the beter team today, no doubt about it, and it had nothing to do with Müller missing the match either. Germany played a great tournement but they just didn't do enough today, think they'll make third place though (not that that is a great compnesation for them)

K-9 · 07-07-2010 09:41PM

Spain seem to be getting better as it goes on.
Holland will be looking forward to this one!

Will be great colour and fans at the final.

Kiwi_knock · 07-07-2010 09:43PM

Ozil has been quite a disapointment in these last two matches, not sure if he is ready for big money move yet.

I hope not, he's a great assest for Werder Bremen in the Bundesliga, would like to see him hang on in there for a year or two more

Super-Rush · 07-07-2010 09:52PM

I've had both Holland & Spain backed to win it since before the tournament started. My head says Spain and my wallet says Holland. Whoever wins the battle between Van Bommel & De Jong and Alonso & Busquets will win the final.

Flying Abruptly · 07-07-2010 09:53PM

serious LOL at them including Lampards 'goal':pac:

OutlawPete · 07-07-2010 10:58PM

Had 0-0 in the Germany match.

Haven't got one bet up the whole tournament :rolleyes:

Think I'll just watch the final and not have a bet

They didn't set the Euros alight either - they'd an easy enough group stage, beat Italy on penalties to play Russia in the semis. They hammered the Russians, then played Gemany in the final, beating them with an early enough goal in the first half.

What they did do however, was win all their matches & did so efficiently, with some excellent passing & a lot of hard work and took their chances when they could - much like they've done so far in the World Cup.

As a team, they gel more than most international teams - possibly, in part because 5 of their first team players are also first team players from Barcelona, with David Villa about to be the 6th.

In many ways, they play like Barcelona - keeping the ball well & working hard when they don't have it.

I'm really looking forward to the final.

Their work when they didn't have the ball tonight was far better, well barring the Portugal game. I think there was an element of underestimating the other teams they played. None of that tonight.

The Germans just didn't the same amount of chances to do what they did against England and Argentina. Couple of refereeing decisions went against them, but thems the breaks. Spain just suffocate teams with the possession football.

Holland have the grafters to cause Spain bother thought. Kuyt especially, will love this match.

I don't think Spain have a hope of winning the World Cup. If they are lucky, they'll get Argentina in the Semis & jam it into the final, but if they get there, there's no way on earth that they'll beat Brazil.

The only team I could possibly see beating Brazil is Germany. Having said that, I'm not convinced they'll make it all the way as a lot of their players are lacking the experience it takes to win a tournament like this. They do however, without doubt, have the skill & set-up to do so.

So you're changing your mind now? I'm quoting you only because your first quote was a reply to a post I made, where I said Spain would get to the final.
