Dude with due respect you don't have to open a new thread everytime. Even if there were some off topic posts in the other thread u shd have just kept it alive. You can't expect every post to be meaningful and simply close the thread if it doesn't suit u.

Spain beat Denmark 3-1 with goals from Tamudo, Ramos (this guy is just awesome biggrin.gif), and Riera. They are close to qualifying now..

It's the same story with Spain every time isnt it. Big expectations just before the tournament before disappointing when the going gets tough.

i thought he wears 15 for real too? thats his usual number IIANM.
anyways, i thought raul deseved a call up. but guiza looks promising. but what really surprises me is the omission of joaquin blink.gif
*
You are mistaken tongue.gif
He wears No 4 for Madrid

For me it didn't matter too much that Raul didn't get called up. Spain has many options upfront anyway. But imo Guti should have been called. Sometimes in tight games u need to throw in someone to change the game and there aren't many better ard than Guti. He can unlock even the best of defences with his vision.
Joaquin's omission doesn't surprise me; he hasn't really stepped up to the plate throughout his career. Cazorla who is replacing him is an interesting player.

but i still doubt why torres was sub off so early ....
izzit a test or an experiment for Aragones ?
would it be a lone stiker for Torres in next match ?
*
For crying out loud will u Liverpool fans get a grip. Torres isn't the only good striker in the squad. In fact for the national team Torres has not produce consistently. If a lone striker is to be used it would be Villa leading the line. But I think Aragones will stick with the same lineup for the next game.

After all the hype i heard about Ramos, if i were to judge him based on one game alone, he's rubbish! For a defender, he has an alarming disdain for defending doh.gif
*
As a Madrid fan I would be the first to say that Ramos had a very poor game by his standards. He is capable of better I can assure you. His head didn't seem there at all the whole game.

I see Spain heading to the semi-finals, but what happens after that is anyone's guess..... so much potential and flair but ultimately the biggest under-achievers..... but hey look at Italy and the already sent packing France.  brows.gif

Todays game will be a good indicator to how far this team can go. And to be fair the decline of Italy and France wasn't much of a surprise.

Torres and Villa is striking a beautiful partnership since the last World Cup. However I think Spain was abit fortunate to  find the breakthrough once Zlatan equalized for the Swede. The Swede was solid at the back and wasn't give much and practically was holding out for the draw. The lost of Puyol cause major problem for the Spanish and the deputed Abiol isn't good enough.

Moreover I think the Spanish build up play is way too slow before the ball is deliver to the final third. If the Spanish is trailing they would be in problem if they keep on with current style of play.  I think they need to sweep the ball much faster rather than passing the ball too much around.
*
That's an oversimplification of the Spanish style. Against Russia the ball was released faster to exploit the pace of Torres and Villa. Against Sweden it was different. Why? Because they were defending deeper with more men behind the ball. It's always difficult to find space when a team parks the bus.

Italy are one of those teams that traditionally Spain have a hard time getting past in these type of tournaments. So it would be foolish to write the Italians off so early.

Seeing how Germany defeated Portugal, I'm abit wary of Spain's ability to defend set pieces. No clean sheet so far in the tournament and if it continues it means we would have to score at least 2 goals.
