    Spain have shat the bed. Rejoice


    Theyve won 3 major tournaments and got to the semi and final of the last two confeds so the only thing that has been found out about them is that they are human after all. This could be the kick up the arse they need for next years world cup

    Good to see this Spain team getting battered.

    I genuinely don't get this attitude.
    There is no formation/tactic/method in football that guarantees victory, everything can be beaten.
    That doesn't make what Spain do a nonsense or a joke.

    I'm fully aware of that.

    Tonight Brazil are making a mockery of it though.

    Cost the 3rd goal by shooting up out of the line and missing his tackle.

    Headbanger

    He got a goal back for Reál when they were playing against B.Dortmund but having another bite of the apple is hilarious.

    Pedro's miss was the turning point of the game really. There will be claims that Spain are finished and people will never learn..


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,409 ✭✭✭fergiesfolly


    Ah, Spain will be ok when they get Messi back....oh wait,ya, hang on a minute ...

    Er, are you talking about Rugby?!

    Ramos certainly is a headbanger, I'll give you that.

    Whats your point? I never mentioned anything about them being found out but whilst we are on the subject, no plan b just like Barca.

    It doesn't change the fact they have imploded tonight and its bloody good entertainment.

    How selfish can you get

    that bloody marcelo

    Had to square it!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 51,342 ✭✭✭✭That_Guy


    Gustavo is so calm and composed. I'd like to think that he'll light up a cigar with ten minutes to go and knock a few passes down the flanks.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,014 ✭✭✭✭Corholio


    Even Xavi throwing himself to the ground now.

    I even thought Brazil wouldnt work quite as hard as Italy did, theyve worked their proverbials off. Even bloody Hulk is running.

    Aside from Cesc and Alonso, next years world cup the likes of Isco will come into contention. Brazil sprung from the long grass and ambushed a tired Spain tonight. Next time though Spain will be ready for them although i think Germany will be strong enough to beat either and Italy will improve in the next year


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 16,070 ✭✭✭✭event


    One thing about neymar, with his diving and moaning he'll fit right in at barca

    It's probably a good thing for Spain that they're losing like this. They look like a team with no plan b and perhaps will develop one after this game in preparation for next summer.

    Everyone will start hating teams that win it all sooner or later, it always happens.

    pique one of the most over rated defenders around

    Yet again he's found out tonight


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 42,208 ✭✭✭✭Scorpion Sting


    Well, Shakira won't like that.


  • Registered Users Posts: 9,839 ✭✭✭Jelle1880


    Red, very harsh imo, never a goalscoring opportunity and he wasn't the last man.

    edit: Professional foul, makes sense then.


  • Site Banned Posts: 26,456 ✭✭✭✭Nuri Sahin


    :eek:

    Pique sent off. Not sure about that.

    Bizarre.

    Watch the replay, was in a flat back 4 , charged out unnecessarily, mistimed it and got left stranded leaving brazil one short.

    If you are gonna commit, dont throw yourself into a tackle, close down space and keep yourself in the game.

    Never mind.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,207 ✭✭✭miralize


    Pique is nothing without that big bastard of a defender Puyol beside him.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 25,953 ✭✭✭✭kryogen


    Am I the only one feeling pretty smug right now?

    Deligthed here!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 13,222 ✭✭✭✭Will I Amnt


    Was always going to happen one of the centre backs. Whatever about the diving, Neymar has been legally unstoppable.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 8,061 ✭✭✭keith16


    I really don't get the hate for Spain in this place. :confused:

    Sergio Busquets is enough for me to hate an entire nation, and all who dwell within it.


  • Registered Users Posts: 8,868 ✭✭✭Andersonisgod


    Neymar is just such a great player, thankfully Barcelona signed him before this tournament, otherwise he may have cost a bit more than he did.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 28,397 ✭✭✭✭Turtyturd

    Success breeds it.

    Stupid by Pique.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,852 ✭✭✭homer simpson


    If that's a red the other 2 in the first half were red's too!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,380 ✭✭✭daRobot


    Brazil to get 5


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 36,365 ✭✭✭✭SlickRic


    This is just hilarious.

    And I don't even dislike Spain.

    Professional foul. A lost decision by refs these days. Its all 'last man or 'goal scoring opportunity' etc. Glad to see it happen.

    Whoa this is becoming a horror show for Spain. Neymar acting like a dick again on the ground :mad: I actually hate to see him do well. The quicker he hits hard times the better


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 8,763 ✭✭✭Jax Teller


    They haven't been great showing replays at this tournament .

    Spain ran out of ideas.

    They bore some to tears with their football. When they play a minnow it looks great as they just dance around them but against a side that can defend its like watching paint dry. They don't change tactics either when its not working, no plan b and they resort to diving like submarines and surrounding the refs. Football played in the right way me arse, they are really sore losers too.

    Glad Piques gone, they should be down to eight men by now. I hope Brazil grab another 3 goals.

    Nice shot there Ramos, almost the same spot as the penalty.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,623 ✭✭✭double GG


    It really is amazing to see so many people writing off spain on the basis of one bad game.

    They have by far the best squad in the world and are still heavy favourites for the World Cup next year.

    Shocking from Pique

    But que the hype machine to go into overdive tomorrow regards Brazil and the hyperbole of how Spanish football is in crisis.
