Just a reminder to Mork that June has 30 days, so have edited the dates accordingly.

Drop Busquets, play Fabregas instead and play a winger instead of Torres. They can always bring him off the bench if they are desperate for a goal. This formation doesn't really get the best out of Spain but the quality of the players is papering over the cracks.

Come on Spain

BoyBrumby · 03-07-2010, 12:18 PM

If Spain don't beat this shower of plop they don't deserve to be world champions.

Although (thank you BBC) in their last 3 QFs they've lost to Belgium, Italy & South Korea, so who knows?

I hope Spain play Fabregas today.... Go Spain....

If anyone should be dropped it's Xabi Alonso. Del Bosque isn't getting the best out of Xavi - Fabregas is much more suited to the role that he wants Xavi to play.

Mark Bright is painfully anoying.

Marcuss · 03-07-2010, 01:05 PM

Couple of good crosses at both ends.

silentstriker · 03-07-2010, 01:13 PM

Ref disallows another goal. Goals are rare enough as it is without the refs making it even worse...

BoyBrumby · 03-07-2010, 01:14 PM

Been a fecking dire game so far.

Pothas · 03-07-2010, 01:17 PM

All the dire games feature Mark Bright, coincidence I think not.

Spain very lucky not to be a goal down here. I was expecting them to take this one comfortably and give Germany a different sort of problem to deal with in the semis but I'm not at all sure of that anymore.
