This is sport, not war of some sorts. Losing the ball does not equate to getting out of the trenches and get shot & killed.
What's disgusting to ppl. is how Spain is basically a bunch of fucking cowards_full stop_
For instance yesterday: the amount of times where they could easily & quickly counterattack and out-man/overwhelm the French, but instead decided to turn around and play it safe, was staggering. Or how they have an open shot at the goal from inside the box, but then rather just turn the fuck around and resume their handball tactics of playing around the box until they lose their possession to an individual mistake (which happened a lot yesterday).
It's just about as bad as passing the ball around in your half until the clock runs down, which was practiced back in the day when you could pass back to the keeper (before the back-pass rule).
That's why, to some (or most when they play as bad as vs. the France) Spain's style is worse than Chelsea's or England's reactive style, because the latter wait for their chances and then capitalize on them and that is far from being cowardly, it's just using the only tactic that can help them win (if you want to make a reference to war: it's partisan/guerrilla tactics.) At the same time counterattacks as well as disciplined defensive work can look just as good or even better (-> purposeful) that the cowardly tiki-taka bullshit.
And they get pressured and can already taste defeat they initiate cheating tactics of drawing fouls and then make those acting classes pay off to get the opponent players booked and/or commit dirty fouls (last seen vs. Croatia).
The last point is easily applicable to both, Barca and Spain because of the player-overlap.
This year is basically the year of reactive football. Barca and Bayern (they have the same, rotten possession play seed implanted by vGaal) fucked up internationally and domestically to teams that played reactive football. Too bad there is no nat. team that can play it well and has enough player quality for beautiful counterattacks (although England comes close with a fit Rooney, but mostly because of Gerrard). Italy can play that too.
And as to
what should they do to make you guys love them again? :'(
What kind of insecure question is that?
They should fucking implode for all I care, I won't start liking them any time soon.
If the hate is too much for you, go offline..
