Spain went too conservative in their thinking. It's just not in this team's DNA to just hold on to the ball and kill time. Had Germany on the ropes but decided to play it safe.
That win against Costa Rica was their equivalent of England's 6-2. They are a good side Spain but not more than QF, SF depending on the drawIf they’re this overwhelming side then international football is possibly at its lowest ever level.
Germany lost to Japan a few days ago.What a high quality game. These two teams are playing a different game to the rest of the countries. Probably only Brazil can keep with them.
Thanks so it's not as bad as i thought but even then it doesn't hold candle to what they had 13 years ago.Germany actually have a healthy lot of talent coming up:
defence: Bella - Kotchap from Southampton, Thiaw from Milan, Luca Netz from Möchengladbach.
midfield: Aydin, Eyüp from Bayern, Eric Martel from Cologne
attack: Moukouko from Borussia, Ansgar Knauff & Karem Adeyemi from Borussia also, Musiala then and Wirtz from Leverkusen who had ACL injury.
VAR will get it right eventually. It's here to stay, so no point moaning about it.Wasn't specifically posting about that. VAR offside just ruins the spectacle generally. Saw it with Morata just now. So grating.
France would slaughter themWhat a high quality game. These two teams are playing a different game to the rest of the countries. Probably only Brazil can keep with them.
Not to mention this Fullkrug kid who only made his debut last week!Germany actually have a healthy lot of talent coming up:

All those German classes in school paying off I see.Danke Herr Füllkrug!!
I assume you’re being sarcasticWhat a high quality game. These two teams are playing a different game to the rest of the countries. Probably only Brazil can keep with them.
Rodri out of position, Alba way past his best, Busquets older than time itself and Simon being a bit calamitous, the defence is not what you need to win a tournament.That win against Costa Rica was their equivalent of England's 6-2. They are a good side Spain but not more than QF, SF depending on the draw
Fun fact that I posted on here yesterday. The offside rule was brought in as rugby offside. You couldn’t be ahead of the ball at all when receiving a passIt wasn't designed to ruin the spectacle of the game as it now does with VAR. It's there to stop goal hanging.
Couldn't give who wins this game or not.
I’m on the half that doesn’t. I’m a fat bass turd.So does half the Caf.
He brings the Schlottern backOh god why Schlotterbeck
Not suprised its an Ateltico player rolling in pain
That’s a weird comparison seeing as Germany are miles better than the USA. This has been a far higher quality football game.That win against Costa Rica was their equivalent of England's 6-2. They are a good side Spain but not more than QF, SF depending on the draw
I dunno I just don't see it at all. Spain was too young at the euros and they outplayed everyone and lost on pens to the winners who were also excellent. How is the attack blunt, they are the top scorers in the world Cup? They are coached brilliantly and play like an elite CL side and have bundles of creativity. They are young sure, but Pedri is world class already, not some random young player.No doubt about their talent but again they're just too young, this'll be a learning experience for them not an attempt at winning, also their attack is blunt.
And on the second part it doesn't matter how talented musiala is, it doesn't hold the candle to the likes of neuer, Muller,ozil and co burying on to the scene back in 2010, they need a serious injection of talent to compete at the highest level again.
Annd they scored, never tempt fate.
Spain are also better than England, mostly because of the guy in chargeThat’s a weird comparison seeing as Germany as miles better than the USA.
I don't think the game is that good technically, lots of intensity for sure but Spain conceded a lot against a Germany team that lost to Japan 3 days ago, they hardly play "a different game".What a high quality game. These two teams are playing a different game to the rest of the countries. Probably only Brazil can keep with them.
Spain will play Brazil in the QF and IMO will beat themThat win against Costa Rica was their equivalent of England's 6-2. They are a good side Spain but not more than QF, SF depending on the draw
New way to spell Atletico, at least you didn’t say Athletico.Not suprised its an Ateltico player rolling in pain
I'd be amazed (disgusted)Spain will play Brazil in the QF and IMO will beat them
