16 in a row says something people no matter how bad they (Spain)played they won. Every team has had there share of bad games.

I was very disappointed, too much lateral passing, no penetration. But we got the result needed. Phew! We gotta get our head in the right place! I thought Xavi was brill, Navarro played pretty well for his first cap. Cesc was fine. Ramos per norm was massive. But Puyol kept getting beat by Eddie Johnson??? OMFG. We definitely missed Iniesta. I rooted for Spain, nevertheless, per norm and I was on http://www.csrnusa.com’s 2Gs show pimping Spain on Wednesday. Hee.

im a liverpool fan and i do agree with JOHN above….liverpool do play like italy …solid at defense and catching on the counter attack……the thing with spain is that they as barcelona did against man untd (in the cl semis)
overpass the ball in the final third…..i feel rather than doing that they should simply flick it on to torres….or maybe torres should be second striker with another one i.e villa or guiza as a coy first striker…if spain do get the best out of torres they easily win the euros…..aragones is a serious shit……rafa should be spain manager whenever he leaves liverpool

Nah, he’s better off up top for me. He can keep defenders occupied, and make room for others (Xavi?) to come through. Torres on the wing is a definite no-no.
Cheers!

Question…..would Torres be better off on the “wings” in Spains’ current system….since his true strength is ‘running at and getting behind defenders’????? ….Just wondering what everyone thought!!!

I must admit that I cheered for Spain yesterday. To help suppress the feelings of Benedict Arnold, I told myself that Spain has an important tournament to prepare for, while the U.S. has no reason to be in good form. This helped, although people at the bar looked at me after the goal with the sentiment: “that kid doesn’t look Spanish!” Regarding the game, Espana indeed played like ish in the first half last night–the first ten minutes witnessed numerous clumsy passes. It looked like they had barely played together before. The passing was much more seamless in the second half, and Spain dominated possession, but were still lacking that final pass to unlock the goal. I think the lone striker formation may be put to rest–el guaje was sorely needed up front. Damn I hope they smash the Ruskies on Tuesday–plannin on taking a 3 hr liquid lunch.

Hmm, I don’t entirely agree with you there. I think Villa and Torres together make a great pair. In fact, put Raul in there (which of course, Aragones didn’t have the balls to do) and take any two of those, and I think it’s a good pairing. Plus with such a good midfield, which can really push forward, I think Torres will not find it tough at all, if he’s got Villa by his side. On his own, it’s a completely different story.
