Goal! Spain 1-0, via a clever flick from Rodrigo. Absolutely a deserved half, a quite brilliant half of football, only denied more goals by an impressive goalkeeping performance. The level of this Spanish side is different to any other team at the tournament.

:rolleyes:

Smithwicks Man

There's been nothing convincing about this second half Spain performance. Norway look like a country who are doing things right at grass roots level

I fell a sleep watching this Spanish team

How many saves has De Gea had to make in this half? How many clear cut opportunities have Norway had? Spain have controlled the game, they've controlled the tempo and right now they are on their way to the final, it's been an impressive performance all round.

Spain have created nothing either. Admittedly the onus is on Norway to attack but I suspect they are that bored of watching Spain pass the ball around at the back, like an annoying child in fifa, that they just want the game to be over.

Spain have also looked uncharacteristically sloppy in possession going forward and their tackling leaves a lot to be desired. A very unerwhelming performance by my estimation.

Extremely lucky not to concede there as well

Jax Teller

Thiago stopped a certain goal there at the free kick .

Jax Teller

What a fcuking goal .

Andersonisgod

Goal! Oh what a goal! Isco to Morata, Morata to Isco, sublime skill, creative finish. Spain on their way to the final, Spain maybe on their way to another under 21 championship.

Are you awake now Headshot?

Get a grip. They have absolutely suffocated them from start to finish.

Jax Teller

Oh my god . What a goal . How did he score from there .

Professional Griefer

What a goal.

Agreed. Spain were head and shoulders the best team out there.

Andersonisgod

Goal! Goal! Goal! Morata. Wonderful solo goal, power, intelligence, pace, technique all on show. It will take something superhuman to stop Spain winning this tournament. A country with a style of football that has swept all before them at all levels.

Hey Anderson, I notice you are quite the Barcelona aficionado now.

Have you stopped being a Real Madrid fan altogether now then?

I have no problem complimenting Madrid players. Morata for example deserves a lot of praise, he is an excellent player.

However it's never been a secret that I've got huge admiration for how Barcelona, and by extension Spain, play the game. I strongly believe it is the right way and I believe Barcelona and Spain as a whole deserve a lot of admiration for how they approach the game and how they develop their players.

So, you were never a Madrid fan, even as recent as two years ago.....

Ehh not to my knowledge. Like I said I've no desire to talk down Madrid and actually I thought they were excellent a couple of seasons ago (which is reflected in their points total and goals scored) however I've always had a strong belief in how Barcelona play, if you want proof I have quotes from as far back as last year I think.

carlop

That Spain team would have a decent enough chance of getting to the semi-finals of the actual European Championships, let alone the under-21 one.

Let me refresh your memory then.

Ok this is the thread for the greatest club in Spain, Real Madrid.

Andersonisgod

Wow I remember that, and yes I stand by it. At the the time they led the league, they were playing some absolutely sublime football (they would of course go on to win La Liga with a record points total and a record goals total that very season)

My only other comment on the thread is this.

Last night Madrid maintained their lead over Barcelona with a 1-0 victory away to Sociedad, Higuain's goal seperated the sides. Not really the free flowing stuff we have seen from Madrid lately but they left with the 3 points and that's what counts, the standout performer was Sergio Ramos, filling in at centre back in place of the injured Ricardo Carvalho, he has been excellent.

Not very rare, I comment on quite a few games I watch. I will also be watching Netherlands vs Italy tonight so you can expect a few more comments like that, later I will watch Brazil vs Japan on delay too, where again more comments like this will follow.

I also maintain that I am not a hugely biased football fan. Like any football fan I am biased, I have preferences and maybe that sometimes reflects in my posts and opinions however I've never had a problem complimenting and praising other clubs or players from other clubs, also Ricardo Carvalho is my all time favourite defender.

I thought he was a Chelsea fan / Barca fan (2 clubs that have a history of not liking each other) but that does look like he is a madrid fan :eek:

Klim

You were a Madrid fan, you argued with everyone during the fiery EL Classicos against Barca backing up Madrid. Funny as hell seeing you on here pontificating all things Barca.

That's not to mention the time you 'pretended' to be a United fan for a while a few years back.

Give it up.

I've probably called Falcao the best striker in the world, it does not mean I am a Monaco fan. Only a few weeks ago on here I called Guardiola the best manager in the world, it doesn't mean I am now a Bayern Munich fan. I simply call it as I see it at the time.

Also the situation on that particular forum was a very complex one. I had alot of issues with a lot of things on it and, for the most part, the vast majority of my comments were entirely untruthful and were posted with an agenda. I honestly don't want to clog up this thread with those issues or my reasoning behind such bizzare (if you are on the outside looking in) posts, if anyone wants to discuss any of them with me I'd gladly answer you through PM.

I was never a Madrid fan, ever. If you like I could post up a pic here of the Barcelona jersey I got with Henry on the back from when I went to Barcelona.

The post you linked with a combination of Real Madrid being the best side in the league that season and also because of Dons being a Barcelona fan, thus I was only too happy to annoy him. Like I said though, I don't want to wreck this thread with ridiculous assertions and irrelevant nonsense from a different forum.

You're wrecking nothing. Your squirming and holedigging is very entertaining.

A Barca fan calling Madrid the greatest team in Spain is very, very odd.

I just PM'ed someone who wants an explanation. No problem, if you want me to explain the situation to you I don't mind.

I am worried about wrecking this thread though because there is a semi final that is about to start and that's what this thread is about. If anyone wants to discuss silly personal matters with me I have no problem talking through PM with anyone.

If you search hard enough you'd probably find me complimenting City a crazy amount on that forum and having an unnecessary amount of go's at Man Utd. Circumstances dictated that.

And it will be, the game is about the kick off, I'm sure it's more interesting that an argument on an internet forum over a year ago.

Mars Bar

Back to the topic at hand please

Andersonisgod

That's a great freekick from Maher, unlucky not to score.

Rekop dog

Ooff great effort.

Borini should never be starting this game btw.

Mars Bar

There has to be an irish connection somewhere with a name like Adam Maher.

The stadium reminds me of the film mean machine with the two massive concreate walls at either end

Robbery by Italy. They were outclassed the whole game.

Holland had an awful lot of the ball but in the second half have created little with it, missed most of the first half.

I hope Spanish destroy this Italian time wasters

inforfun

Well, fortunately these Italians are not annoying with faking injuries or something like that.
