This. There's a reason I fucking hate the Spanish team/La Liga; Spanish players are a bunch of whining, diving bitches. Doesn't matter if they're good. It hurts the integrity of the game.


I totally feel the same.
I like Real, but the way they(the Spanish) play is disgusting.

They have become the new Italians.

Pfff, so wrong...

First, this was penalty on Pedro. He loses control and falls but Lloris doesn't hit the ball and takes everything with him, it's a clear penalty...
Now about whining, diving bitches, you're just butthurt they win everything. Everybody hates them because they win everything. On the 'whining' part, I agree, they always complain to the referee, but that's more the Liga spirit than the Spanish team in itself. They don't dive more than any other team, I'm sorry, open your eyes. And even if they were diving, they would have good reasons to do so. Remember 2010 WC final? They were diving in De Jong feet and Van Bommel's too? When you receive 3x more fouls than you give, you try to take advantage of that because the referee doesn't always signal the small fouls that ruin your short passes football, it's just normal tactics, and it's called compensation. It's been part of football since the beginning of the game, get over it.
France's Valbuena is a professional diver, 10 times worse than any player of today's Spanish 11.

Montenegro look worst than San Marino, my visions of where they are at as a footballing nation are true. So fucking poor, England should be out of sight if they had some more players other than Rooney and Welbeck on the pitch with a bit of class....

Anyway, I liked the 4-2-3-1 formation that we played against Brazil and I think that is the way forward for Roy's England. He has always built his team around being a solid unit and I think that gives us a good chance against technically superior opponents. It also gives us a solid passing base against inferior opponents, with the option of pushing one of the deeper midfielders futher forward if we need to turn on the heat. I'd probably go with (assuming no injuries):

Hart(vc); Walker, Cahill, Dawson, Cole; Gerrard(c), Wilshere; Walcott, Lampard, Young; Rooney

Cleverly, Wilshere and Lampard would be pretty interchangable... as would Walcott, Lennon, Young and Chamberlain.

Yep, Roy going for the 4-2-3-1 we used against Brazil, just like I thought he would. Very solid looking formation, we've looked incredibly safe against anything Montenegro have tried to do. I like the choice of Milner and Welbeck out wide; they're really putting in a lot of effort going back, and they haven't been bad going forward either. Welbeck MotM for me so far, given the defenders hell and has won the ball back a lot tracking back.

Also, the yellow card against Welbeck towards the back of the half was a joke. I don't think that it was a penalty, but you can see that Welbeck got his legs tangled up and that's why he fell.

:S i thought millner's playing awfully, even by his standards (never rated him) Also Gerrard has had a bit of a mare other than the assist, perhaps put Wilshere on instead? Never happen because hes captain but carrick cleverly Wilshere would be a pretty good midfield me thinks, possibly better than the current.

Lol! Yeah i guess your right Carrick has done everything simple and right, but he is what a 6/10 at most, everyone else bar Rooney 8 and Welbeck 7 are a solid 5, maybe even 4s in Johnson Gerrards case.
Oh well, should be easy 3 points, just please get a 2nd! I don't want to be "nervous"

It was not a penalty at all.

Notice how he bends his knee even before anyone touches him. He forced his fall with the intention of getting a penalty kick.

Well if Lloris doesn't shoot both his legs, you can give him a yellow for faking. But if he does, you give a penalty. What if he injures Pedro? Still nothing? Pff... Tired of people waiting for legs to be broken to signal fouls...
Anyway my point is not to say if there is penalty or not, referees can make mistakes. But then don't ask a team to say absolutely nothing after this kind of decision, France would have done the same.

If Pedro didn't fall like a little bitch and instead tried to continue and score the referee would give Spain the penalty.

However nowadays players just find it easier to try to trick the referee by pretending to be little fairies who fall whenever the wind blows.

god England are doing nothing great right now. I am personally always pretty unimpressed by Milner, I think Carrick is quality. I would prefer Ox or Walcott on the right...

4-0 Netherlands - Romania. Comfortable game, once again first half wasn't as good as the second. Still great play from the youngsters.

FIFA is promoting fairplay... And then one of their referees sent all the effort of the bulgarian players against Denmark to hell. I'm getting sick of the refereeing in this sport.
It's sad that they are not even trying to fix this issue... Corrupted old men.

I'm really liking the Feyenoord defense playing for the Dutch national team. Of course teams like Romania and Estland are not very capable offensively but they look quite settled and confident. The only problem I see right now is their ability to link with the midfield to begin attacks. They sometimes seem to lack creativity and pass it back and forth too often.

I'm really liking the emphasis on the youth that Van Gaal is bringing (I guess they had no other choice after the EC) and hope it continues into the WC which they almost cannot miss anymore.

Did you watch the incident? Two footed tackle on Pedro and he was clearly tripped. You're right they dive too often, but it came back to bite them in this case. If the ref didn't have it in the back of his mind that would have been a penalty. The commentators couldn't understand how it wasn't given.

At least the game is decent, England/Montenegro 2nd half is crap, Mont. look like they're going to equalize.
