Scott. Posted June 24, 2012 Report Share Posted June 24, 2012 Things need to change in this country, not just England but Scotland, Ireland and Wales. We're nowhere near good enough, we looks like pub teams compared to other European teams, we got plenty of heart and fight but no flair at all. The whole hoof it up the pitch and 'break his fucking legs' mentality has to stop. 37 percent posession against Italy who couldn't get the ball off Spain. So far behind.

MSandt Posted June 24, 2012 Report Share Posted June 24, 2012 Anyone care to explain the discrepancy in statistics at this level? I was looking at the stats after the game and shots & shots on goal were 4:1 and 5:1 in favor of Italy. This seems like a huge discrepancy. I don't really know anything about soccer except that both Italy and England are supposed to be top soccer countries so is it normal for stats to be so lopsided for such a high-level meeting? In hockey you'd expect to see something like this if Canada were to play the UK or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott. Posted June 27, 2012 Report Share Posted June 27, 2012 Portugal need Nani and Ronnie on fire tonight to have any chance. Play Ronnie up front and Quaresma on wing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm worried if Ronaldo is up front tonight he could get isolated as Spain will have so much of the ball. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ruaraidhlando45 Posted June 27, 2012 Report Share Posted June 27, 2012 I had Spain to win on pens, good bet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
☆★Adri★☆ Posted June 27, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 27, 2012 Yayyyyyyyyy!!!! Del Bosque making poor decisions again by starting Negredo. I dont understand why we waited 90 minutes to start playing properly, so annoying. Silva was crap, and Jordi Alba and Pedro are great. Ramos is the boss too, and has got some balls... I wouldnt try that penalty after all the shit they gave him when he missed in the CL lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
