Spain

Post by The Gibbins »

I said a few days ago they will do really well, a few people thought i was joking. I think todays performance showed that they are a real threat and the front two (Torres and villa)look like a real proper partnership. They were a constant problem and Torres is just way too class, he took his goal superbly. I think its between spain or argentina for the trophy.

When it comes to the crunch, they will bottle it.

Against the Dutch or Mexicans? I seriously doubt it...
I can see us losing vs Brazil in the semi's or vs Argentina in the final but that's it. As for Spain, they'll lose in the Quarter Finals to Brazil.

It was a great performance, but no better than the Czech ealier in the week, and i think we will see them both slip up when they play some quality teams

Spain looked fantastic today, but then they always do when getting an early lead and allowed to dominate possession. Their performance was undoubtedly the best of the round, including the Czechs, IMO, but i reserve judgement on their ability to go all the way until they face a tougher test...

Spain always have an "excellent" squad and always **** up. They are Spuds in espadrilles.

Just watch them win the bloody thing now....

They only looked good because the Ukranians allowed them the time and space to play. Close them down quickly and you'll beat them imo.

Spain have never even reached a semi final in the World Cup I find it amazing how a country that has one of the best and strongest mleagues in the world and who's clubs are reguarly winning Europeon trophies can have such a poor record in the World Cup. They all ways have the players and potential to win it but never seem toi be able to deliver the goods when it matters.
