Spain is pretty notorious for doing it...

You missed my point. Of course I think it's bad; it wastes time, it's never punished and the referee can sometimes take a bad decision because of it. But saying Spain and Barcelona are the king of this is just ridiculous. Just watch some South American games or Italian games and see what happens... Spain is just making people mad because of their dominance, so every little thing that they don't do perfectly is seen as an evil thing...


No, Spain/Barca/Real are definitely the kings of it. Even their fans agree with that lol


Their certainly higher profile...

I think if anyone would agree with you on its primarily because theyre just tired of people whining about it and take a "so what" attitude.

Thats besides the point though.. Spain were pretty flat and Brazil was tactically and mentally so far ahead today it was quite silly..

That team was way to much steel and not very much substance.. so not really. and mad old too..

The most creativity you saw out of them in the knockouts that year came from Felipe Melo.. wheres he now ? lol

I'm already looking so much foward to WC next year, can't wait to see how Germany will take on Brasil, brasils physique is just incredible and their pace on collectivity and finish on the pitch was like watching a champions league club.

Well done team, congratulations.

My conclusions:

1. Fred is bad indeed, but so lucky that makes him look almost good.
2. Neymar is fucking amazingly talented, best player on the field, just needs to fix his diving problem.
3. Julio César is definitely the best goalkeeper Brazil can field, and top class.
4. David Luiz man, David Luiz and Thiago Silva are top notch defenders, really solid players.
5. Oscar is lacking, he is incredibly good but he definitely underperformed.
6. This group is very focused, and I praise Felipão for not bringing Ronaldinho Gaúcho, because that asshole would fuck it up really bad.

yeah Brazil with and without him was like night and day. But having a good bench is also a quality to have and Brazil really lacked a bench that year.

I am glad it was anyone but Spain winning this! Helps keep the sport healthy when one team isn't stomping everyone for so long(I know, I know it is only one loss for Spain in a final).

I think the problem is Spain hasnt been "stomping" anyone for a few years now, but because they win so much it irks people.

Theyve been grafting out wins even though teams have a pretty good idea what ruffles them.

I dont believe they've been indisputably better than other teams for a while now (they dont even have world class strikers anymore).

Theyve had a little luck and at times just been barely good enough on the base of one or 2 virtuoso's when its really mattered.

And credit to them for that but these past Euro's were really open heading into them and so is the 2014..

Also about Fred, hes been in and out for a few years now and his purple patch may just be hitting at a bad time because hes really not as good as this tournament is making him look .

He works hard though, but so did the rest of his team..

Every team in this competition have looked lackluster, especially compared to Spain. Spain's dominating SO ridiculously hard. I expect an easy stomp vs Italy and an even easier stomp against Brasil.

Luiz is a fucking monster when he doesnt go attacking for no good reason. He is out best CB is he loses his crazyness(the way it is I prefer Thiago Silva over him).
