talking of alltime great players..spain have dropped 34yr old Iniesta to the bench..

but he cannot last a full high end match anymore..central midfield is one of toughest positions to keep fitness going, so coming on after 60mins with poss extra time is prob a good move..and its only Russia.

Haha, no problem with anyone from either of these teams lasting a full match I guarantee you. This match will have more juice than a Tropicana factory ffs.

R. Madrid

The arm was completely accidental, the referee is a stupid chitter and of course in the Russian side

Running side to side for 45 minutes is not easy at all, Iniest is ok on the bench until they need him, good decision

And they bring Iniesta on now. As you said.

 

[Federberg]

not impressed with Spain at all. Extremely negative in that first half. Frankly given all the great football we've seen I'll be happy if Russia sees them off. And I'm no fan of Russia... Obviously Spian have the talent and should win...

 

[Federberg]

So... first extra time game. Let's see if Spain have tired Russia out enough that they make mistakes. Credit to Russia they really want this. It's very clear to me that Spain don't have players who can run between the lines. They've found the Russia 2 banks of 4 impenetrable really. Wouldn't mind Russia winning on penalties, but this is the sort of game where you can see the home fans crying on their way home because they came so close. I can almost smell it already

 

[atttomole]

True. The Russians have made it difficult for Spain to penetrate their defence. They are closing all spaces.

 

[Federberg]

^Fingers crossed we can put the era of tikitaka behind us once and for all. The lessons of the last few seasons are all about the risk taking teams winning. We don't need Spain getting through with this kind of dross football. Even Uruguay look like they have more attacking potential

 

[Federberg]

At last! Some positive football there from Rodrigo. He's a rough rider

 

[Federberg]

I cannot understand the officiating in this World Cup. How was that not a penalty? The sooner they kick that nonsense of defender holding on at corners the better

 

[Federberg]

It's pelting it down out there now. Would love to see a shoot out in those conditions

 

[Federberg]

penalties!!

 

[Front242]

Here's hoping the Russians can do it. May the most doped up fuckers win lol.

 

[Moxie]

Dreaded penalty shoot out.

 

[Federberg]

yesssssssss
so so happy

 

[Federberg]

Now Spain. Have a rethink about the type of football you play. Stop the tikitaka and start trying to attack to win. Please....

Haha! Dasvidaniya Spain! Atlichna!
