World Cup 2018 Qualifiers

[Kapardin]

All this fuss about strikers. Who needs them?

Music to Pep's ears.

 

[Santi_Mesut_Alexis_87]

feck!!!!!!! Massive chance for Insigne here.

 

[Moonred]

Who punched Bellotti?

 

[DomesticTadpole]

Italy should have done better there.

 

[carvajal]

De Gea has been great tonight

 

[FCBarca]

Verratti, poor again

 

[Vato]

Good save DDG

 

[Rajma]

Why are Spain insisting on playing without a striker when they have two good forwards available these days in Asensio and Morata? It kind of made sense in 2012 when Torres was out of form and their midfielders were all great but it is strange now (I know they are winning).

Agreed. Limits them a bit in terms of counter attacking opportunities, someone like Morata would have them stronger and would and variety, without losing to much on control aspect imo.

 

[GifLord]

O lord, wouldst thou favour this humble peasant, and produce a gif of that lovely moment where he overcame someone holding him back, and then did that wonderful chipped through pass?

know the minute ?

 

[Inter Yer Nan]

Spain could send two teams to the World Cup and both would be among the favorites.

 

[Santi_Mesut_Alexis_87]

Didn't know Immobile was playing. @giorno

 

[GifLord]

Italy chance

 

[Santi_Mesut_Alexis_87]

 

[Santi_Mesut_Alexis_87]

Need to score now that Spain has taken the foot off the gas.

 

[Peyroteo]

After Del Bosque, it had to be Lopetgui - his NT teams have consistently played high level football. And just having better talent alone does not translate to success, coaching & tactics is all too often written off as key but it is just that

He came to Porto with a big reputation after doing great with Spain's U21 but he turned Porto into pretty much Van Gaal's United and the fans hated him. He was a bit of a clown with the press on top of it too. I'm liking this spanish team though, they're my favourites to win the World Cup

 

[Santi_Mesut_Alexis_87]

Just noticed Silva for the first time today

 

[Santi_Mesut_Alexis_87]

Asensio and his shots

 

[Tarrou]

We need good Bale back

 

[diarm]

Ireland don't have a single player who would make the squad of players Spain could pick after their first squad.

 

[FCBarca]

He came to Porto with a big reputation after doing great with Spain's U21 but he turned Porto into pretty much Van Gaal's United and the fans hated him. He was a bit of a clown with the press on top of it too. I'm liking this spanish team though, they're my favourites to win the World Cup

I remember his start going well there though but never followed after

 

[Santi_Mesut_Alexis_87]

Belotti

 

[The Cat]

We are going out at this rate

 

[Vato]

You just can't take the ball off Isco without fouling him. What a player.

 

[Peyroteo]

Italy don't deserve to be losing by 2 here

 

[Santi_Mesut_Alexis_87]

We are going out at this rate

Tight group, it can happen.

 

[R'hllor]

Watching internationals on Sky is impossible, only on mute sadly.

 

[Santi_Mesut_Alexis_87]

Italy don't deserve to be losing by 2 here

We are playing quite well in the second half, but it's probably down to Spain taking the foot off the gas.

 

[carvajal]

Isco

 

[Santi_Mesut_Alexis_87]

And now almost 3-0.

 

[Peyroteo]

Isco

Verratti should retire after that

 

[Eriku]

know the minute ?

It was pretty soon before his 2-0 goal. That's all I know

 

[Hojoon]

Isco's great to watch.

 

[Inter Yer Nan]

Isco is pure filth. What a player.

 

[#07]

Isco's great to watch.

He is decent at this football ain't he?

 

[SCP]

This is positional play at best.

 

[Santi_Mesut_Alexis_87]

Iniesta off for Morata.

 

[RedPed]

Looks like the Welsh bubble has burst already.

 

[Tincanalley]

know the minute ?

. Where is the bow down icon?

 

[FCBarca]

Brilliant performance from Iniesta

 

[Vato]

Silva has been a bit shit.
