Cesc Fabregas should be given a chance.

 

[Frutos]

Very good tackle from Sneijder there to stop Iniesta.

Cesc Fabregas should be given a chance.

100% correct

 

[Seasider78]

Well yes, that is fine, but I fail to see how a game between the ultra-talented Spanish and a super competitive Dutch side in the World Cup final can be slagged off as much as it is being.

I don't think the game is awful just two very tecnically gifted sides who have cancelled each other out. As game has gone on and mistakes, nerves and tiredness have kicked in the game has picked up. As someone else pointed out could make for interesting extra time

Robben nearly exploits the weakness to a long ball of the Spanish central pairing.

 

[pasty]

Oh FFS Robben, GROW UP

 

[The Wizard]

Yes, with that one ticked off, I think this is perfectly set up for another of my favourite football scenarios - the outrageous dive that results in a match-winning penalty.

 

[pasty]

Cesc Fabregas should be given a chance.

He's about to get one

 

[Blackadder]

Fabregas coming on!

 

[Sarisbury Seagull]

Whether you like him or not, Arjen Robben has been f***ing brilliant in this World Cup. Easily in the top five players of the tournament.

He is a quality player. I'm still shocked he missed that chance, his finishing is normally superb on his left foot

 

[Seasider78]

Fabregas and torres as options off the bench says it all!!

 

[Uncle Buck]

Time for somebody to take a dive.

 

[pasty]

Whether you like him or not, Arjen Robben has been f***ing brilliant in this World Cup. Easily in the top five players of the tournament.

That may be so, but his constant whinging screwed up in anguish face is nearly as punchable as Ronaldo's

True, but he is still a complete TOOL.

 

[Lady Whistledown]

That may be so, but his constant whinging screwed up in anguish face is nearly as punchable as Ronaldo's

I heartily concur. It's like watching a three year old having a temper tantrum.

Don't doubt that - just a whinging nob. Like rolling around on the floor, it's enough to put you off a player.

 

[Twinkle Toes]

He's certainly a very gifted player. It's just a real shame he's such a cheating, odious, wanker.

 

[turnstiler]

I heartily concur. It's like watching a three year old having a temper tantrum.

But with a face of a 70 year old.
