Spain v England Match Thread

[Skaville]

Hmmm, this tactic sounds awfully familiar...

That woeful Downing cross to nobody right on half time sums it up. We have wonderful passers like Carrick, but we don't play to their strengths.

Who is the commentator by the way? I don't mind Clive, but this bloke is just second-rate. Embarrassing stuff, worsened by the that utter bell end Pleat next to him.

Apart from the Spanish shots over the bar when Spain has had the ball it hasn't gone above head height, even from the goalkeeper.

 

[Pavilionaire]

I'd like to see Beckham on for the whole second half - Downing wasted 2 free-kicks that Beckham might have done something with.

Beckham will also help out Carrick and Barry, who are doing OK. Keeper crisis tho.

 

[SeagullTim]

But Villa scored and I think that Jagielka was partly to blame for for the goal.


Backing up for Jagielka, could this be something to do with him playing for Everton .

He was probably at fault, but he's keeping Torres quiet today just like he did in both the derbys.

 

[SirDouglasLoft]

A midfield of Beckham, Barry, Lampard, Young, is what it should be.

Robert Green about to come on.

 

[Lady Whistledown]

Oh god, they're talking about bringing on Carlton Cole now :thud:

Carlton from the Fresh Prince of Bel Air may be more use.

 

[The Large One]

Men against boys - skills wise.

 

[Lady Whistledown]

SAKE!! Does anybody give a crap if Beckham wins his 108th cap or not? If he overtakes Shilton's record of 125, fair enough, but who cares if he's the SECOND most capped player?

 

[champion7]

Good point well made Edna.

 

[SNOOBS]

Has Torres touched the ball?

No, Terry has kept him very quiet.

 

[champion7]

What the hell did capello feed Wright-Phillips at half time,he's like a man possesed now.

David James?

 

[Yoda]

I'm board watching this. Last night, after I had finished training, I watched a thrilling, end to end, attacking game between Brazil & Italy. Both teams hell bent on scoring and winning and playing with real passion.

 

[Skaville]

Both teams hell bent on scoring and winning and playing with real passion.

Are you sure Italy were involved in this game?

 

[Twinkle Toes]

Men against boys - skills wise.

Indeed.

Actually, make that everything wise.

 

[Skaville]

Ha ha ha! Carlton Cole has an England cap! What a joke.

 

[Twinkle Toes]

Altogether now:-

Well if Cole can play for England so can I..

 

[Twinkle Toes]

Looks like Carlton decided on the 3 points there
