Spain so passive and slow . Our half of the draw is so open .. Even more reason why we won't win Tuesday then !
Lying on the couch dosed up on paracetamol and ibuprofen post op. Still I am signed off for the duration of the tournament. Cupboard full of beer I'm unable to drink....
I'm Disappointed with Collina, I thought he was fair and honest but VAR rejecting Spain a penalty says otherwise
Within 24 hours the French have reminded me what a beautifull game football can be, and the Spanish have reminded me how boring it can be. How is it possible to pass the ball 50 times and come back to the same place and think you are getting somewhere ? I agree that the ref. was paid by Gazprom but, to be honest the Spanish need to rethink their whole game - these are players from Real, Atletico, Barcelona etc. and none of those clubs play the sort of mundane stuff that the national team has got into the habit of playing.
Croatia are not really impressing me, nor Denmark really. But I had Croatia down as the surprise package.
Really disappointed in Croatia and Denmark are a bit like Sweden I guess - dour and defensive mindset. Not sure if that is a good thing though if England play them!? I'd almost rather play a side that attacks like Colombia will.
All very lopsided this World Cup, with France, Brazil, Belgium and Uruguay, all on one side of the draw and on the other teams like this, Russia and Sweden.
