F*** I won't be able to see it as I'm out. NOOO. WIll record.

Or, you can just come home and see the the status page filled with the winner of the game. tunga:

 

[Crayo]

I would for any other game. But Spain are beautiful to watch. A 0-0 game would please me more than a 4-4 game with any other countries.

 

[Dolph'sZiggler]

LET'S GO FRANCE
LET'S GO FRANCE
LET'S GO FRANCE

I might have to miss the ass end of this game, so I'll be pretty butt hurt if it's still undecided late.

 

[Crayo]

Wtf why you rooting for France?

 

[Dolph'sZiggler]

Wtf why you rooting for France?

Because I like France and don't like Spain? tf else would I be rooting for France for

 

[Crayo]

-1 respect.

Spain are the only team to stop Tombstone going all "Germany are BITW" on us. France is just filled with divers, though Benzema is a boss.

Go Spain.

 

[Dolph'sZiggler]

CBA about Tombstone tbh. Stop being so easily trolled by him. I love Benzema, Ribery, Nasri, Clichy, and Diarra. While Spain is great, I don't like any of their players besides Fabregas really.

 

[Crayo]

Don't see why not but each their own.

 

[Rysenberg]

I'm probably away to lose about -10 of your respect here Crayo lol.

I don't enjoy the way Spain play whatsoever. I find all their games tedious. I've got no interest in seeing a side pass the ball their midfield completely dominating another team, I get bored of it. Credit to Spain as it's a tactic that works for them and they're probably the best team in the world just now, however as a spectator it doesn't enthrall me.

Sorry I don't root for the most popular English team, the most popular Spanish team, and the best national team in the world.

(I'm 90% joking/trolling, let's not start a pissing match here)

 

[Rysenberg]

Yeah I support the team that finished 11th in one of the worst top divisions in Europe. I win tunga:

No respect lost, I understand why people get bored. I think people might underrate how hard it is to do what they do. It's not just the possession, the one touch fast football to get them to have about 20 chances a game, it's unbelievable. If what Spain did was easy, everyone would do it. Sometimes I watch them and just think "wtf... wow" because as I play football quite a bit I realise how fucking hard it is lol. Also, the way they press off the ball and how brave they are is just incredible.

Sure they keep it for ages which can be boring, but when they go forward, does any team better them? Brasil is the only team I prefer watching to Spain.

:yay:

I totally agree though. What they do is incredible and no other team can do it quite like them, it obviously takes a tremendous amount of talent to do what they do.

I'm maybe just strange that I don't enjoy it, but it just when certain media sources come out and say that defensive football is "Anti-football", it isn't, and as somebody who would love to one day go down the coaching route I find it fascinating and if done correctly can look beautiful in it's own way.

E.g Champions league semi final 2010 where Inter went through after holding Barca to 2-1 at the Nou Camp whilst unfairly down to ten men, I absolutely loved that match. Craig Levein's 4-6-0 is an example of how it shouldn't be done.
