ermm... i do agree san iker is top class(shot stopper + recovery saves)...
and i do like him alot. n the whole spain team.

but he is not that good in handling crosses(wont tis offset the statement of good positioning) n set pieces.
prolly his not that tall comparing to other GKs.

hope tis time SPAIN CAN GO ALL THE WAY!!!!!!!!!!

la furia roja!!!!

Hope Spain will win this match tonight

all the best to our beloved team for tonight game. Meet the Germany at the final!!!!

maybe you are right..spanish defenders are performing poorly..but imo we can always depend on casillas alone..the defenders should not let opponents do any super long shots..he should worry everytime crosses are coming into his penalty box though..the defenders seem like blinkered when dealing with crosses

since start i was hoping that spain will be in final... in group phase i think i very comfortable with performance (even with 2nd team vs greece)... little bit shaky vs italy in semi coz the italian superb in defending... and tonite may be a different russian side which they meet in group match... and still i hope TORRES will be a monster tonite... coz what i saw not the same torres as in liverpool squad...

i really hope spain will win the euro2008 la...so long no trophy d...for such a talented squad

frankly speaking,
i would rather face the Germans than the Turks in the Final ( if we get through tonite ) cause the Turks are harder to beat

do you mean torres is not bringing his liverpool form to euro?

he is doing great but not as great as he's at liverpool.
hope they can excel 2nite and go all the way

actually, im not surprised at all
as i said earlier, villa and torres partnership didnt impress me either

i rather aragones play fabregas from stat rather than xavi or iniesta but xavi is one of his untouchable..

I think after a long season with Liverpool, Torres look abit jaded as the tournament progress. He looks abit disinterested at times at some of the game that he played. Hopefully an opportunity to land a silverware for his country will spun him to perform tonight. I'm hoping that he could score at least a goal to boost his goal tally as he hasn't got the best record as a striker at international level.

cesc should replace iniesta if he is to be brought in..iniesta is not performing good right now, and cesc may give spain new ideas..
aragones has his reasons to keep xavi in his 11st eleven imo, and they are tactical issues..aragones view him as the link between defence and forwards, the task that he had done well in qualifiers and friendlies

i think aragones usually use Cesc for counter-attacking...so maybe 2nd half of the game he will play. But i wanna see Cesc play for full time.. He is wonderboy!!! Brilliant idea and aggressive.

you could see if your wishes will come true or not in a few hours ..let see what aragones will come out with..i fervently hope we win tonight

but i am feeling less nervous compared when we was up against italy, it maybe a good sign for us

haisshhh so nervous... hope the game will be ours tonight...
hala espana.. viva !

lets see finishing from villa again.. second hatrik maybe

yeah..the game will start in a few hour more..i have faith..hope we can win against the Russian tonight...

i think we surely will win but maybe by slimmer goal diff this time. to be honest im quite happy when russia beat the german. at least spain wont have such a tough game tonight if compare to holland if they have won before this

tonight gameplay seems slow and its raining. hope spain wont be affected...
