Subscriber RandoEFC+ 7,664 Posted July 1, 2018 Subscriber Share Posted July 1, 2018 Spain look absolutely ordinary. If they go out today this side of the draw is wide open (arguably is anyway). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted July 1, 2018 Share Posted July 1, 2018 England really do have a chance at the final here. Their biggest obstacle is their next. Colombia. The rest are up for grabs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marc 570 Posted July 1, 2018 Share Posted July 1, 2018 I think sideways is the best way to describe this game. An awful watch. Despite Russia sitting so deep there is just no need for this amount of sideways passing, be more adventurous, take a chance with a killer pass. I's not often i'm dreading extra time, but this will be a boring 30 mins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted July 1, 2018 Share Posted July 1, 2018 Just now, Machado said: Colombia a bigger obstacle than Croacia? I think they are about the same. I've not been overly impressed with either to be honest, despite having more wins than not. England have dreadful memories of Croatia though (2008) so that could be an interesting clash. I think England's biggest rival though is themselves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subscriber Dan+ 1,918 Posted July 1, 2018 Subscriber Share Posted July 1, 2018 I think Russia will probably crack in extra time to be honest. Spain cannot keep playing like that, surely? And I'd imagine Russia will tire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Honey Honey 3,767 Posted July 1, 2018 Share Posted July 1, 2018 Spain refuse to take risks and the commentators call it being "patient" I lost my patience about half an hour in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed. Hope the Russians do them on pens. Just realised spain are my last man standing pick, but fuck em. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Extra Time ..... maybe going to penalty shoot-out .... I'm not saying the rest are pushovers. I think Croatia, Denmark and Sweden have something to say about that (and not to mention Spain), but England have a good chance. I've been quite impressed with them. The problem is that they have perhaps the toughest or second toughest team immediately. I don't think England will struggle with second tier European teams to be honest. They beat them all the time. Colombia will be more interesting because they are a side they don't often face and while I don't think they are that good, England can always undo themselves.

El Profesor 1,457 Posted July 1, 2018 Share Posted July 1, 2018 Russia looks really tired, they can´t make the transition with enough speed to threaten Spain. Penalties are their best hope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kowabunga 313 Posted July 1, 2018 Share Posted July 1, 2018 I am liking this game much more than the previous games from Spain. Cerevral footy, control football, hear the lamentation of the TF365 women live. Hopefully a Sergio Ramos thug life moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beelzebub 2,508 Posted July 1, 2018 Share Posted July 1, 2018 There's not much wrong with Spain except they're trying to play as if it's still 2010. Even though there's no David Villa. And apart from him Spain scored 3 in 7 even back then. No permutation as secure as Busquets-Xabi-Xavi . Teams far more used to winning with 25-30% possession Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
