The penalties in this tournament have been absolutely shocking. Stats say hard and high you score, low and placed it’s 50:50. Especially when the pressures on. Run up, pick a corner, top left right, or centre if the keeper always moves and put your foot through it.

it’s absolutely fcking ridiculous - Japan’s and Spain’s penalties were like catching practice for the keepers.

Cometh the hour cometh the man. Got to fancy morroco to fight for a place in the semis
 
Random Spain stat;
Since winning the WC in 2010, Spain have participated in the next 3 finals.
But have only won 3 games! Against Australia, Iran and Costa rica.
 
And haven’t got past the last 16 in any of the 3 world cups. Still I’m sure they’ll be pleased watching Portugal qualify
They don't really have much beef with portugal, morroco however!
Press having a field day of death by a 1000 passes, this isn't even tiki take anymore.

Word on the street is that vic has been scouting at the world cup. Seen some young lad called ramos from benfica in the Portugal squad who’se gone under everyone’s radar.. thinking of putting in a cheeky bid… before the big boys with lesser scouting networks spot him.
