disjointed Posted June 18, 2014 Share Posted June 18, 2014 Empires don't fall they crumble Spain are all over the place. If ever a team looked mentally fragile, Spain are that team. Xavi Alonso is having a nightmare. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GlossopLatic Posted June 18, 2014 Share Posted June 18, 2014 (edited) If ever a team looked mentally fragile, Spain are that team. Xavi Alonso is having a nightmare. Sometimes it comes down to hunger that Spanish team who have been there and done it look like a side who are playing like this is another game. whereas the Chileans are playing like this is a once in a lifetime opportunity.

rudemedic Posted June 18, 2014 Share Posted June 18, 2014 Brad Friedel was good on the radio last night for Brazil v Mexico, Danny Murphy is good and I liked Tony Pulis on radio for the Spain v Chile tonight too, primarily because he got his laugh out.

If Chile can replicate that sort of desire in their last group match, then Holland may have to settle for 2nd. That game looks like a "must" watch.

Zorrro Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 I'm not one to fawn over football too much really, but this has been a really good World Cup. I'd only intended to watch the England games and some of the 'big' games but I've ended up watching at least half of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
24hoursfromtulsehill Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 Agree that this is right up there with Italia 90 and Espana 82. Why has no one connected Spain's failure with the fact that they're no longer allowed to use EPO? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ackey Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 Fantastic World Cup all round so far. Chile were magnificent against a very, very average Spanish side. With ~25 mins to go they were beat, heads down, not chasing. Chile on another day could have had 4 or 5 themselves. Spain are now, as it stands, "bottom" of the entire thing on points and goal difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Causing widespread panic amongst the workplace sweepstake minnows, who had their hopes pinned on the cash prize for the wooden spoon winners.

Spain are now, as it stands, "bottom" of the entire thing on points and goal difference. After seeing their two games and the Aussies' performance against Holland, I wouldn't be surprised to see Spain go home without a point. Xabi Alonso turned in one of the most disastrous performances I've ever seen from any player last night. And when Fernando Torres is your last throw of the dice, you really know you're :censored:ed.
