Spain vs Switzerland

[YouSir]

No thread yet? Shocking. 3-0 to Spain is my guess. Better be good mind, want some goals.

 

[nicksonic]

ah, the spain v switzerland thread!

 

[nicksonic]

that's annoying, no torres.

apparently hitzfeld opened up a training session to the public so that the swiss players could get used to the vuvuzelas. they don't seem to be that prevalent actually...

They've got Mick McCarthy for the boring drone instead.

Am I the only person who thinks he's turned into John Shuttleworth?

thank god he's not talking constantly.

Heh, no, I thought of that too, only a less endearing version.

 

[Pie 1]

Have Switz even touched the ball yet

you are right!

 

[Stibs]

I promise you, the worse the game, the more pompous he becomes, the more he sounds like JS. It makes even the most boring games entertaining.

your definition of the word 'entertaining' must differ from mine

 

[YouSir]

When did the Swiss last have possession?

 

[Stibs]

And this might end up being one of those games....

 

[Stibs]

When did the Swiss last have possession?

I don't think they want it.

 

[nicksonic]

basically we need switzerland to score.

 

[TrippyLondoner]

we want goals

we want goals

etc

or even just some proper attacking football will do...

 

[nicksonic]

this is quite like brazil v north korea.

 

[TrippyLondoner]

im curious to see the south africa game later considering its the start of the 2nd round of group games, i wonder if the mentality of both teams will be different.

chance!

 

[nicksonic]

pique is quality, gets better every time i see him play.

 

[agricola]

Great through ball from Iniesta that.

it will be at some stage in that game, especially as south africa have france last up.

 

[TrippyLondoner]

lol, commentator sounds wound up.

 

[Diamond]

Can't believe Mick McCarthy is commentating on this.

 

[Stibs]

The Spanish have decided to be stereotypically Iberian today. Falling over at the slightest touch. I would have thought that this ref would have been less likely to be sympathetic than most.

 

[Diamond]

Spain are such a complete team.

 

[TrippyLondoner]

Enjoying this more than other games, atleast Spain are TRYING too win.

 

[twistedAM]

Oh fuck this. We have the diving ladyboys this afternoon.
Call the whole fucking tournament off and let Germany have the cup for at least making some kind of effort.

To be honest, that's not really the most striking aspect of this Spanish side.

Hoi, and the two Korean sides too!

 

[Stibs]

To be honest, that's not really the most striking aspect of this Spanish side.

Terrifically annoying though. It is, in the end, cheating.
