I'm getting late-Wenger Arsenal vibes from spain

 

[Alan]

Spanish goalkeeper really not inspiring confidence.

 

[EdgeOfTheAlps]

Richarlison is a prick on the pitch but I give him a pass as he's the only player in the squad who's openly anti-fascist and critical of Bolsanaro. A lot of them are proper bootlickers.

Yeh he seems a genuinely decent person and bought a load of PPE during COVID when the fascist cunt was denying COVID existed

 

[The Bion]

Aguerd misses a great chance, have to take those

 

[Jabbawolf]

Hartson is very budget.

Even late era Wenger always had a goalscorer or two in there. This lot are all fur coat and nae knickers.

Hartson is very budget.

Budget Dion Dublin.

 

[sycophantia]

Budget Dion Dublin.

Fair comparison but at least Dion is likeable.

 

[Jack Regan]

I'm pretty sure big Dion knows that Ziyech is left footed (anyone who's ever seen him play for more than a minute knows) not our John though.

 

[Banjo]

In an earlier game, Hartson didn't know why a linesman raised his flag after the event either. "That's the latest flag I've ever seen!", he said, presumably having watched no football for two years.

Morocco are decent. Could definitely see this going either way.

 

[Del Woppio]

This is vaguely interesting but also painfully dull at the same time

 

[b3h]

Williams trying to make it a bit more interesting

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

West Ham will be delighted. Signed Aguerd, got injured immediately and couldn't play for months. Got back in time for the World Cup, looks decent, gets injured again.

 

[Tony Towner]

On a related note Jesus is out for 3 months minimum

 

[Tyrannosaurus Dan]

I don’t enjoy watching Spain at all. So dull.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

I don’t enjoy watching Spain at all. So dull.

They were superb at Euro 2008. By miles the best team at SA 2010 and Euro 2012 and they knew it, so went a goal up and killed the game stone dead most of the time. Since then - the same boring pseudish crap but with ever decreasing actual quality. They're awful to watch.

It's like someone painting a faithful, 100% accurate depiction of the M6. Yeah, I get the skill to make it look so realistic. But it's not interesting, is it.

 

[Dinowolf]

Saiss gets a yellow card

 

[Alan]

Símon and Morata look miles off the pace for this level.

 

[Alan]

Hell of a save that is
