England vs Spain
- Thread starter Sean_RedDevil
- Start date
Rafa has his say:
Hopefully. Shame Barry isn't on next to him so his can too. The match will hopefully end up with those not playing enforcing their positions.
Think England will win this one.And will be elevated to Euro 2012 tournament favourites by the press.
*gets popcorn out*
Are they still offering a 100 to 1 for spain to win 5-0
What a team!
Silva as a false 9 again?
They might as well lead England out to 'Abide with Me'.
Is this on ITV or Sky?
Itv, with Andy 'I am Irish' Townsend and Gareth 'I missed a penalty against Germany' Southgate.
Doubt it. Villa is playing.
But its all interchangeable in that team. Very interested to see Silva as a false 9 again. He tore Scotland's arses in that role.
What is ridiculous is that the Spanish 11 comes from 4 teams, and if you don't include Alba or Silva they come from 2 teams.
Erudite and incise tactically analysis coming up
Johnson Jagielka and Lescott 
The English midfield. 
Why is Glen fecking Johnson back in the England squad? Try Kyle Walker FFS he's been fantastic.

Any stream lads?
England are terrible. Probably the worst squad england have had for a good while actually.
Spain's second team would beat that lot
Scary.
Scary.
Those teams
England to win 1-0. Lampard with a free kick.
An all-english United XI (Amos; Smalling, Ferdinand, Jones, Fryers; Carrick, Cleverley, Young, Rooney, Welbeck; Owen) would beat that England team... that's looking terrible 
On the other hand this Spain side, especially in midfield, looks out of this world. Fabregas and Mata on the bench, this is taking the piss.

Busquets starts.
Spain's U19s would beat that lot.
Spain are still just under even money. That seems very generous.
So what is the English starting XI?
Arsenal ladies would have this XI!
Hope Jones doesn't find it too disheartening an experience

You are better off not knowing.
Hart, Johnson, Jagielka, Lescott, Cole, Parker, Jones, Milner, Lampard, Walcott, Bent.
If England don't get smashed here and hold Spain to about 70% possession I think we could consider it a good result.
Come on then, how many times will Darren Bent actually touch the ball in this game?
Quite a few times from kick off.
I hadn't thought about that.Less than 30 in the first half and less than 45 for thw whole match
1639: BREAKING TEAM NEWS A rather strong looking Spanish midfield to say the least, with Xavi, Andres Iniesta, Sergio Busquets, Xabi Alonso and David Silva. Good luck to Phil Jones, Scott Parker, James Milner and Frank Lampard with that one.
Very tempted to watch this now.
Very tempted to watch this now.Thanks.
That ain't pretty.
Good to see Jones get another crack at midfield. Shame he won't actually touch the ball.
I think all but 2 of those players will have a poor game. Hart and Walcott
Oh God, Carragher in the studio.
Ermmmm
Ermmmm
The defence is poor, even for England's standards. Jagielka and Lescott, ffs.
Ladies! stream?
