Hmm Torres walking fine...

 

[Pot noodles for everyone]

France of 1998/2000 are probably the nearest to them but Germany in 1996 were the best of a bad bunch.

And Spain would embarass Argentina if they played them

The nearest to them? That French side won the WC and then the Euros.

And that German side were very good. A look at the teamsheet for the Euro final makes familiar reading.

Wonder if Pepe "another tournament and I contributed f*** all" Reina will hijack the celebrations this time?

You always get one who's done nothing getting himself right at the front.

 

[Twinkle Toes]

Yeah, because Spain are packed with moral ambassadors for the game aren't they.

Compared to that bunch of Dutch thugs - then yes, I think they probably are.

The presentation has gone all eurovision!!

 

[cardboard]

there are no Spanish fans there!!!! Its embarrasing!

My brother in law is there and he said the atmosphere is shite!!

What? We got no votes again?

 

[Lady Whistledown]

Nice gesture of the Dutch to applaud the Spanish back on.

On reflection I do feel very sorry for Webb. Bitch of a game to ref and to come out of it with just getting a corner wrong is pretty admirable. Could be said should have sent off more Dutch, but they're judgement calls and he wanted to keep 11-a-side

They are all broke!

Webb booed.

I thought he did well up till the corner, which if nothing came of it it wouldnt of been mentioned.

maybe the Dutch fans were booing as they thought he should have sent half their team off for dirty fouling?

I agree with this.

Not an easy game to ref as it was such a dirty game.

wont stop posters on here giving him a hard time

 

[xenophon]

Webb proves yet again how technically inept the English are when it comes to football

 

[patchamalbion]

hardly any Spanish in the stadium and Madrid didn't even look that decent.They wernt going anywhere near as crazy as i would have expected

 

[pasty]

Must admit it would have been fairly ironic had the total football Dutch side of the 70's lost and this lot had won.

Remember David May at the end of the 1999 Champs League final?
