I'm disappointed in you, Peralta

 

[Broder Salsa]

Fuck Spain. Where's my Fabregas... or koke? WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO DO WITH MY FANTASY TEAM NOW. Took Azpilicueta off my team in the last moments.

 

[mellz]

Gimme some chicha

 

[Wilbur]

Do they really need Xavi, Alonso and Busquets?

Yeah, like I said I always think this :lol. Wouldn't know which one to drop though, which is the problem.

Plus they get to bring Pedro on nice and fresh later.

 

[leroidys]

Remember when everyone told USA "lol welcome to football stop crying" in 2010?

 

[xbhaskarx]

Lol

 

[Meier]

Fabrice Olinga name drop by the ESPN announcer. Football Manager wonderkid.

 

[The_Hitcher89]

happy?

Pfft, photoshop


Clearly onside then

 

[Tubie]

2010 World Cup winning lineup. Del Bosque wants to change as little as possible from that.

 

[DSN2K]

Horrendous challenge...wtf no card

 

[D4Danger]

Pfft, photoshop


Clearly onside then

I hate you.

 

[tabs2002]

That looks painful

 

[FootballFan]

Do they really need Xavi, Alonso and Busquets?

Could start Koke or Mata.

No need for Alonso. All he does is ruin busquets' involvement and space. Could have used iniesta in midfield instead of out wide.





Or use cesc. Moon.png

 

[XiaNaphryz]

You could probably drop that 2014 part if you ask some.

 

[defel]

Good line up. I always think against weaker opposition the Busquets-Alonso double pivot is unnecessary (especially considering you have to move Iniesta out), and I can see Holland's wing backs having fun. Nice to see Costa though. Dunno why he went for Spain over Brazil though, his style suits the latter a lot more.

Add to the fact that he's Brazilian and not Spanish lol. Very strange decision

 

[The_Hitcher89]

I hate you.

Wes pls

 

[inky]

We need Chicharito on!

Herrera pls.

 

[mellz]

Ref doesn't give a fuck

 

[Regulus Tera]

No cards.
No goals.
Final Destination.

 

[Gentle Rodriguez]

You could probably drop that 2014 part if you ask some.

You can replace it with football

 

[Meier]

I guess they are doing everything they can to help Brazil, fucking up the only team that stands a chance against Brazil in the group. This is getting too fucking obvious.

Croatia should beat Mexico, but Mexico do look much better under Herrera than they did during most of qualifying.

 

[Kill Your Masters]

So where the fuck can I sign up to be a Fifa World Cup referee or at least a linesmen, the pay is probably really good, travel to the other side of the world for free, get some bonuses for good calls

Spoiler

bribes

, dont give a fuck...sounds like a amazing job.

 

[Fox318]

lol

 

[Lonely1]

Croatia should beat Mexico.

Why so salty against Mexico?

 

[Sviatoslav]

Do they really need Xavi, Alonso and Busquets?

Could start Koke or Mata.

Mata didn't even make the 23, bro.

 

[Desert_Turtle]

Just Watch it on Univision rather than watching it on ESPN.

you also get the better announcers!!!!!

 

[pulga]

this is the most boring game ever

 

[RdN]

And I thought the referee for Brazil vs Croatia was bad... This is completely atrocious. Poor Mexico.

 

[Mr Cola]

Apparently a sizeable portion of fans left at half time because both side of the stadium are uncovered and there is no protection from the rain.

 

[StriKeVillain]

Just Watch it on Univision rather than watching it on ESPN.

you also get the better announcers!!!!!

Agreed.

The HD feed is really clean too.

 

[Broder Salsa]

Payback time there. No wonder it happens when the ref refuses to give cards lol

 

[Kill Your Masters]

Oh god I'm dyi...nope all good.

 

[The_Hitcher89]

this is the most boring game ever

wut

Second half's been a bit rubbish comparitively, but there's still been a one-on-one and a bad foul

 

[Meier]

Why so salty against Mexico?

I honestly don't really care about whether or not they proceed, I only hope they don't because I didn't pick them to do so. In general, if you're a good team in Europe, you should beat a CONCACAF team. Croatia have some really fantastic players.

 

[Wilbur]

First half was well entertaining. Second half's ten minutes long. Calma plug

 

[wedward]

No need for Alonso. All he does is ruin busquets' involvement and space. Could have used iniesta in midfield instead of out wide.

Alonso is a better passer than Busquets.

 

[Nesotenso]

rooting against Mexico but they should be up. Cameroon, Nigeria and Algeria seem to be the weaker African sides.

 

[Chris R]

0-0 game incoming

 

[Linius]

I'm disappointed in you, Peralta

I keep picturing Samberg when I hear that name

 

[FootballFan]

Alonso is a better passer than Busquets.

LOOOOL

 

[D4Danger]

They're already wet. part-time fans huh

 

[Broder Salsa]

We only pay attention to what we want to see, having that in mind should help you enjoy these games better. If someone is kind enough to upload a video of it i will show you.

I'm not rooting for Mexico... or have any connections to Mexico or Cameroon lol

 

[Juicy Bob]

This ref carries himself like he's an anime villain.

 

[Zozz]

Mexico is getting robbed so hard.

 

[Seanbob11]

Clear block. Some good skill there.

 

[Walshy]

Yeah, like I said I always think this :lol. Wouldn't know which one to drop though, which is the problem.

Plus they get to bring Pedro on nice and fresh later.

I'd drop Xavi. I'd let Alonso and Busquets sit across the back four and push Iniesta, Pedro and Silva behind Costa.

They have ridiculous strength in depth though.

2010 World Cup winning lineup. Del Bosque wants to change as little as possible from that.

Fair enough. If it's not broke they shouldn't try and fix it.

Mata didn't even make the 23, bro.

I'm pretty sure he did. I remember they omitted Jesus Navas, but Mata made the 23.

 

[SuperSonic1305]

dem moves

 

[Sviatoslav]

LOOOOL

Sideways doesn't count.

 

[Konosuke]

Of course the first yellow had to be for Mexico.

 

[Clydefrog]

Spain XI: Casillas, Azpilicueta, Ramos, Piqué, Jordi Alba, Busquets, Xabi Alonso, Xavi, Silva, Iniesta, Costa

Hot damn
