YES WOY

 

[pulga]

Can we talk about how ineffectual Spain's attack has also become? Costa, Silva, Pedro and Iniesta ain't creating shit. What the hell happened? Was Fernando Torres the lifeblood of this team? Pls

 

[Bam Bam Baklava]

Both Holland and Chile have done the same thing. Beat up Spain and struggle with Australia. Hard to gauge how good they are.

The only people that think the FIFA rankings mean anything are Americans or casual watchers

This is a pretty spot on statement.

 

[Oveja Negra]

At least now everyone can realize that Spain was the worst World Champion ever... Even worst than Italy 2006, and by a lot... Lies don't last that long...

Truth.

That's one of the reason that explains why so many people around the globe can't stand them.

 

[Blablurn]

Mullered.

 

[Amentallica]

Spain is about to be eliminated? Fuck yes. Made my work day much better. I haven't been able to watch it, but I'm glad!

 

[Dutch Gronk]

before the world cup people said madrid is the capital of european football. but when i look at the scorers list i see two people from FC BAYERN MUNICH. they must be very good, i guess?

I know you're joking, but you make no sense. Individual players performing on the world cup has nothing to do with how clubs perform.

Real destroyed you guys in the CL semis, embrace it, deal with it.

 

[Vostro]

Spain is ranked no 1, yet they can't score and defend...

 

[PsychBat!]

FOOTBALL IS OFFICIALLY ALIVE AGAIN

football is dead

 

[kottila]

Spain is seriously ranked number 1 by Fifa. Get out of here, they play as bad as Honduras. Germany should take that spot

The ranking is objective" and based on results, it's not a list of Sepps favorites

 

[bjaelke]

Juan Carlos knew.

that's what happens when you spend years playing 4-6-0.

 

[GBG]

Spain should take off busquets, alonso and costa. Stick on mata, fabregas and koke. Spain always play better without a forward and it's not like Busquets or Alonso are likely to get them a goal.

David Villa would have saved them.

What's a grasshopper?

maaaannn, you fell for it twice

 

[cartoon_soldier]

Not starting with De Gea = spain coach is a big fucking idiot

 

[Oersted]

Ronaldo's greatest contribution in this wc

Like every WC

 

[gutshot]

@netw3rk: The pain for Spain will be felt mainly on the plane.

 

[Good Job Bob]

Truth.

That's one of the reason that explains why so many people around the globe can't stand them.

People couldn't stand them because they were winning everything.

I'd say Iniesta is still pretty dangerous. The guy is very talented, just watch how much our players need to fight to take the ball away from him.

 

[Charles Foster Kane]

So much fail from España.

Silva and Iniesta seem be only people trying up front at moment

Spain: Have conceded more goals (7) in their last 2 games than they had in Euro 2008, World Cup 2010, and Euro 2012 combined (6)



what the fuck

I think a lot of people had faith in Costa, but he is not even showing an average game, who else they have as a striker? Torres is not better, Villa would be the best bet but...yeah

 

[Mory Dunz]

CHILE

CHILEEEEEE

SUPER FOOTBALLING TEAMMMMM

FIGHTING TO SAVE FOOTBALLLLLLLL

I understood this reference.
Ha, is anyone here actually a Spain fan? Doesn't seem like it.

Costa isnt really expected to though. BBC just played an analysis where he kept making good runs off the shoulder, pointing, and Spain were just ignoring him. He was visibly frustrated with Pedro at one point.

 

[cilonen]

Let the Internet educate you, grasshopper.

Still not ringing any bells. Which division do they play in?

 

[Verano]

Spain is the Honduras of Europe now...

 

[pulga]

Spain is too old and they're no longer hungry. They probably should have injected the team with more young players to help a fire under the Vet player's ass.

Wait till Madrid's more youthful players make the ranks

--------------------DDG
Carvajal - Ramos - Martinez - Azpilicueta
---------Isco - Busquets - Koke
-----------Deulofeu - Morata - Jese

 

[Magni]

I mean, Australia is better than Spain this year. I wouldn't be surprised if Australia beats Spain next week (too bad they will be playing without Cahill).

 

[Spineker]

Man, Spain are in deep shit.

 

[mreddie]

Breaking News: My niece scored a goal against Spain.

 

[DerZuhälter]

You wanna see some funny ridiculous shit?
World goalies:

 

[Broder Salsa]

Because BBC doesn't know the rules of tiki taka/football. You win the matches by passing it around endlessly, you don't have to go for goal.

 

[inky]

Not starting with De Gea = spain coach is a big fucking idiot

He's injured!

Spoiler

I doubt he would've started either way =/

 

[derwalde]

Let the Internet educate you, grasshopper.

where is the treble though? they cant be that good.

 

[Kandinsky]

Sanchez has been amazing by the way.

yeah easily our best player.

 

[kamorra]

Still not ringing any bells. Which division do they play in?

Probably Tercera División

 

[NYCmetsfan]

Truth.

That's one of the reason that explains why so many people around the globe can't stand them.

They just stumbled into Euro 08, WC2010 and Euro 2012?

 

[figadapaura]

I think there might be 1 or 2.

 

[Dartastic]

I'm so fucking happy right now.

 

[AcademicSaucer]

Great for Chile, Brazil- chile is going to be a hell of a match

Spain's lie is over

 

[$200]

spain why you do dis

 

[Nemesis121]

Damn missed a good game, looking at the NED/AUS score..

 

[Derp1na]

Great for Chile, Brazil- chile is going to be a hell of a match

Is that a real language.

 

[Fergie]

Koke on.
