wasn't there pages and pages of people saying they should take him off?

you don't take players like this off the pitch.

Yep brilliant player

 

[ColossalLazy]

Croatia is doing the right thing. Pressuring Spain and not giving then no time to think.

Spain is missing some passes.

 

[Reuenthal]

Can I get a stream for Spain-Croatia? The site I usually used does not work today

 

[gundamkyoukai]

Going to watch the Italy match hoping to see allot of goals from them.

 

[hylje]

what happened?

They showed Löw messing with ball boy middle of the game, when it was done before game started.

 

[Hoo-doo]

How the hell was that not a foul on Spain?

Oh come on. He forced himself blindly through two players, it should not be a surprise that you end up on the ground.

[Phantast2k]

Well

Yeah, it's because the Nazi time Germany played in all black so then we turned to all white (afaik)

As for Spain:

*shrug*

yeah, I wasn't saying a thing. He's always good for something even when playing against a watchdog (Kvist). I'm with you.

 

[TCRS]

I can't run both BBC streams at the same time like I could yesterday with the ITV streams :/

 

[Blablurn]

ROFL ZDF are using there own cameras to show the flares / Croatian fans etc.

the german tv seems really pissed off after that Löw / Ballboy incident and doesnt trust the UEFA anymore

they are using their own cameras? thats good. i kinda stopped believing what the uefa was showing us lately.

 

[MetatronM]

<3 ESPN3.

Got Spain-Croatia on with Italy-Ireland in the PIP. Happily enjoying two football matches simultaneously here in the office.

 

[SamuraiX-]

Croatia's offense is hot ass but they're so damn active on defense. Absolutely suffocating Spain whenever they cross the half field line.

*brobump*

 

[Lazy Jones]

hehe I liked the part where spain passed the ball

 

[criesofthepast]

Italy zzzzzzz. Little more urgency please.

 

[fuenf]

at least that's what Bela Rethy said when they showed the flares / stewards trying to put them out

 

[Hoo-doo]

What's with the blue tape in the neck?

 

[Arjen]

I respect how hard it is to do, but..this possession game from Spain is getting really, really boring to watch.

 

[criesofthepast]

Pirlo looks like he's crying

 

[Slizz]

How did he put that spin on the ball?

Downward strike to upper half of ball directly into the turf

 

[SamuraiX-]

Oh Christ, Pirlo. Stop it. Kicks the challenger and then takes a dive.

Beautiful. That kinda bitchmade is hard to find.

 

[K1LLER7]

Iniesta Dat skill

 

[Awesome Animals]

Downward strike to upper half of ball directly into the turf

<3

 

[Dark Schala]

Yeah, Croatia's defense is really good. But Spain just keeps passing the ball here and there. More possession doesn't automatically mean you win.

Pirlo kicked the other guy and he's apparently hurt? Um.

 

[leroidys]

Wow, Spain getting their dive on. Not saying that those weren't fouls, but that's some great acting.

 

[Slizz]

<3

Pure sex.

 

[ClassyPenguin]

Possession=win

Stop passing and make some plays!

 

[Ushojax]

This style if play is so boring. It's like they are afraid to do any kind if pass that isn't 100% certain not to be intercepted. It's all sideways.

They don't even shoot from outside the box. It's excruciatingly duke, I'd rather watch Ireland.

 

[shiroryu]

78% possession.

Spain ball-watching, Mandzukic ploughing lone furrow up front.

 

[Cerebral Assassin]

Yeah, Croatia's defense is really good. But Spain just keeps passing the ball here and there. More possession doesn't automatically mean you win.

The opposition can't score if they don't have the ball.

 

[Kem0sabe]

Great acting by Pirlo... kicks Irish player then falls down clutching the back of his leg lol

 

[Blablurn]

the spain game is soooo boring. do something!

 

[kharma45]

Working fine for me

 

[TCRS]

Ok, it's working now. The superior way of watching Euro 2012 when you don't have a TV in your room and you can't be arsed to go downstairs and watch with parents:

 

[criesofthepast]

Two boring ass games today

 

[fuenf]

i always wonder what would happen if they had to play themselves or when more teams start to copy that style

 

[prodystopian]

What's with the blue tape in the neck?

Probably a sore shoulder or neck muscle. The tape pulls/holds muscles in the right place.

 

[Ushojax]

Silvas fall just then was laughable.

 

[Maxrunner]

seems the spanish also dive too.,,,,

[Bam Bam Baklava]

Gonna need to start seeing some goals.

The superior way is while playing FM

*GAF IS ON WHITE LIST ON AD BLOCK, DONT BAN ME BROS*

 

[IceCold]

Seems? I see you don't watch club football.

Peek-a-boo I see you.

 

[hylje]

Croatia has one extra defender on the match when Vida is on and Srna is in midfield?

 

[SamuraiX-]

Why am I getting the horrible feeling that we won't see a single goal today?

 

[Jamie OD]

Can we start a meme about how football players are the biggest wimps on the planet? A single brush off them and they fall down.

 

[K1LLER7]

Fernando stylin

Need to get him on the ball

 

[ColossalLazy]

Crotain goalkeeper with dem saves.

 

[Dark Schala]

The opposition can't score if they don't have the ball.

It doesn't make for compelling football. :/

It's probably really really really really really windy.

 

[Cosmozone]

Won't watch the whole game I guess (Spain/Croatia)

Edit: Weak shot there from Croatia, could've gone better.
