Shengus Khan Posted June 16, 2013 Share Posted June 16, 2013 He didn't say Soldado. He was talking about the Uruguay centre-back. Did he? My apologies to Mr Pearce. Time for bed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Real Saints Posted June 16, 2013 Share Posted June 16, 2013 I usually begin the game wanting the underdog to win but, after 5 minutes or so, I always begin to root for Spain. Absolutely sublime to watch. I'm hypnotised. Don't understand any criticism of their playing style. There was maybe a 5 minute period in which Uruguay made a bit of forward progress, but nothing more than that. When opposition teams change the pace of play to suit their own style, Spain sometimes seem to struggle with it at first. It doesn't take them long to adapt, however. We are watching one of the greatest teams of all-time here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Belfast_Tim Posted June 16, 2013 Share Posted June 16, 2013 Problem is - these are ridiculous lies the gullible have lapped up from the media. I'm asking for specific games he's had "poor work rate" and presumably you have some facts to back it up? What facts could I possibly look up to prove he had a poor work rate? My recollection of his stint at City, in between his moments of brilliance, is of him, as I say, sulking about the pitch. To counteract your question, have you have any evidence to support your argument that he had a decent workrate? It's all about perspective.

Albertlegend Posted June 16, 2013 Share Posted June 16, 2013 Spain really are a different level to any other international team, I can t see past them fronthe World Cup next year either, there is always the issue of European teams winning in South America but I don't see it being an issue for this side! An absolute joy to watch, I've even out aside my hatred of busquets! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supras Posted June 16, 2013 Share Posted June 16, 2013 What facts could I possibly look up to prove he had a poor work rate? My recollection of his stint at City, in between his moments of brilliance, is of him, as I say, sulking about the pitch. To counteract your question, have you have any evidence to support your argument that he had a decent workrate? It's all about perspective. His distance covered during a match? Except that didn't happen, working hard was a big part of his game. Especially as a support striker, he was absolutely exceptional against Man Utd and his work rate was a significant part of that. The idea that he's lazy - hilarious given what a great athlete he is - is a media borne myth that you have fallen hook, line and sinker for. Do I have any evidence? Oh absolutely. Tonight's game is a great example, as is the FA Cup final, as was his great scoring streak towards the end of his second last season. Work rate has always been a big part of Balotellis game, he works hard on the pitch and extremely hard in training. His physique is phenomenal, and is borne out of lots of hard work. To see fat c***s like Jonathan Pearce calling him lazy was hilarious. Yeah, you have a perspective. Swallowing whatever shit the guys on the telly feed you. Like a typical football fan, in many ways.

RandomGuy. Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 That was unreal, Spain somehow seem to be getting better. No wonder Brazil, famously one of the most arrogant countries in football (ever), are shitting themselves. Be interesting to see how they deal with Tahiti though, it's not an easy game if they approach it the wrong way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supras Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 So the best footballing nation ever is also the most arrogant? Shame, I hoped it'd be Finland or something If the Spain players turn up drunk they will still trounce Tahiti, it is in no way a difficult tie.
