    Disagree on two points -I love watching Messi, best player in the world by a mile and in all honesty Barcelona would be a lesser team without him, i am sure you would agree on this point.

    Secondly, i would prefer to watch a team who tries and win matches rather than boring the opposition (and fans/audience) to death. Spain do with this aplomb. Good attacking football is what i want to see, not tippy tappy possession football that bores the arse off me. Whereas you have an opinion on how great they are and one that you are entitled too, I personally feel that this kind of boring football is just that.......****ING BORING

    Well its this "i want gungho attack" attitude that will stop any sort of progression of the England team if fans start getting on their back if they start playing the calculated, skillful and tactical football that can actually win them things

    He was near enough the best player at the last world cup bar scoring, and that was with a manager playing him out of position and with no clue how to use him. Hes on fire for Argentina at the minute, watch his hattrick against Brazil a few weeks ago. The last goal is just delicious

    Yawn.

    As good as they are, they aren't entertaining.

    While I can't agree with your hatred of Spain/Barcelona, I would agree that Alba is up there with the best (or should that be worst?) diving wise. What a little fairy he is. I've never seen someone leap around so much. You so much as put a hand on him and down he goes. Its pathetic but part of the game unfortunately. He is however very very talented and I can see why Barca have forked out.

    I would say one thing though, Spain are a very tough watch. A lot of it is just plain boring to be honest. I don't think I've enjoyed many of their games from a purely footballing perspective. Italy have been a great watch, Germany were to a point, and Portugal were excellent bar the final third/that first game. I know people rave about their control of the ball but they've gone too far in this tournament for me. This 6 in midfield with no striker is just painful to watch.

    I find tactical battles fascinating and love seeing teams who can dictate a game. Spain is just overkill though. I could watch the Italians style of possession all day long. Football at its very best and they deserve to win this tournament on performances so far.

    You say you can't agree with my hatred of the above mentioned team then state very similar " dislikes" to mine ??

    Was it not just the extent? Using 'hatred' as opposed to 'dislike'?
