Day 4: Scotland vs Czech Republic | Poland vs Slovakia | Spain vs Sweden

[Wilt]

Big point for sweden ….job done

 

[Anustart89]

Thank god this game's over.

 

[RedTiger]

Lindelof with the clean sheet.

 

[Nick7]

Spain actually started to look good once they took off Rodri and Koke. No need for such a midfield to start this game. Pedri is a good talent but 90% of the game passed him by because there was no creativity in the midfield. All 3 were basically sitting in a line doing nothing for a lot of the match.

 

[Abraxas]

Spain look a little one paced. But I think it's worth considering that if we continue to get hot temperatures they could last the distance well with their possession play. They'll have to find a greater finishing touch, obviously. But I don't think this rules them out.

 

[Dudu]

Niceee. Great point for Sweden that

 

[Dr. Dwayne]

Why did Victor take his boots off?

 

[Schmeichel's Cartwheel]

Bit boring that

 

[LilyWhiteSpur]

Enjoyed that game.

 

[izec]

Will be a nice and interesting group with todays result of Slovakia

 

[RedDevilRoshi]

Well thank feck that’s over.

Spain could put anyone to sleep. Such a boring team.

Sweden with the less possession had the best chance of the game. How the feck did Berg miss

6 times this has happened to them in tournaments iirc

 

[dronesoul]

Spain - Lindelöf 0-0

 

[LilyWhiteSpur]

Why did Victor take his boots off?

NO better felling than letting the dogs out.

 

[hellhunter]

Swedens 89 passes to Spains 830

 

[Alemar]

Lindelof was solid today

 

[P-Nut]

They need a proper attacking winger in that Spanish side. Only Alba willing to run behind and he created most of their chances.

 

[always_hoping]

Lindelof with the clean sheet.

And boots off at the sound of the full time whistle. He must have blisters on his feet?

 

[Inigo Montoya]

Well thank feck that’s over.

Spain could put anyone to sleep. Such a boring team.

They aren’t. Poor finishing but hardly boring

 

[PoTMS]

Slovakia could end up winning this group.

 

[Man-United]

Lindelof was amazing out there.

 

[Tom Van Persie]

Good point for Sweden.

 

[Dr. Dwayne]

and on to the Copa America.

 

[Nick7]

They need a proper attacking winger in that Spanish side. Only Alba willing to run behind and he created most of their chances.

They need a right back too. Llorente, unfortunately for Spain, is not one.

 

[Bastian]

Lindelof was amazing out there.

Motivated by Pau Torres and reading Varane is off to PSG..

 

[WeePat]

Customary 'that's two hours I won't be getting back'.

 

[Sweet Square]

 

[izec]

Spain had 17 shots. I dont know how it is boring. They lack the finishing and the final ball, but Sweden parked the bus. Considering the circumstances, the game was decent

 

[Acole9]

Sweden deserved a point, defended really well. I liked the look of Isak.

 

[dronesoul]

Olsen MotM. Lindelöf runner up.

 

[hellhunter]

Olsen MotM. Lindelöf runner up.

Danielsson was a beast

 

[Okocha119]

This will mean Spain have still yet to win a group game in this tournament since 2012 and they have only one out of six opening group games in tournaments .

? Spain beat both Turkey and the Czech Republic in 2016.

 

[AltiUn]

Bit boring that

Spain really are the experts of sucking the life and soul out of a match, although Sweden definitely did their part by taking off their only exciting player.

 

[bosnian_red]

Yeah that really wasn't a boring game IMO. Sweden had a few great chances, Spain got close but Olsen had great saves combined with Morata being a garbage striker. Wasn't a bad game at all, was more intense than most so far if anything.

 

[Gator Nate]

I can only assume after this that Spain are not expected to go far in this.

 

[tomaldinho1]

Swedens 89 passes to Spains 830

Jeez

Not sure how anyone found that boring though, it was essentially non stop attack versus defence. Morata is terrible.

 

[RoyH1]

Having one of the most defensive teams in Europe playing against the kings of pointless possession was bound to result in the yawn fest we just got.

 

[TheGame]

? Spain beat both Turkey and the Czech Republic in 2016.

Must have misheard then, I’m sure pundits mentioned that at the beginning.

 

[DavelinaJolie]

That Isak looks a talent.
