OneDavidCooper 2,505 Posted June 24, 2012 Share Posted June 24, 2012 I hope thsi "no striker" theory doesn't catch on.Some of their football is sublime and to be honest because they make it look so easy it can become tedious. They deserve credit for what they bring to the table but I wouldn't want every game of fotball to mirror their approach. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

legalbeagle 3,734 Posted June 24, 2012 Share Posted June 24, 2012 Remember last World Cup, Spain 1-0, Spain 1-0.... boring, boring, boring.Would love someone, anyone to beat them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buzz 306 Posted June 24, 2012 Share Posted June 24, 2012 They won the World Cup in 2010 by scoring seven goals, for those claiming that they are an attacking team. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClintonGrey 365 Posted June 24, 2012 Share Posted June 24, 2012 Spain play no strikers, silky attacking football with a focus on midfield passing.England play no strikers, anti-football. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

messiah10 58 Posted June 24, 2012 Share Posted June 24, 2012 People can admire some of the players and the passing moves they can put together but they are really boring to watch a lot of the time. So little goal action and it seems like the new version of Catenaccio at times. I expected a good game against France but it was utter pish and a lot of that is down to Spain. Ok, France brought not much to the table but I expected much better.thank you! so its not just me that thinks this, starting with no striker or wingers constantly playing 5 and 10 yard backwards and sideway passesllorente mata and negredo not played a single minute fucking ridiculoushope ronaldo fucks them Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

messiah10 58 Posted June 24, 2012 Share Posted June 24, 2012 Negative? Whether or not you find them entertaining is debatable, but they are quite clearly not negative.not started a striker in 3 of the last 4 games Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JRodgA2k8 542 Posted June 24, 2012 Share Posted June 24, 2012 They play their own brand of 'Anti-Football' by not allowing the other team to touch the ball and get involved in the game Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RFC55 109,755 Posted June 24, 2012 Share Posted June 24, 2012 What Spain do is harder to achieve than any other form of football. To keep a ball for aslong as they do and grinding some of the worlds best teams down is something else, Its not a conventional style but its pretty unbeliveable to watch. The triangles and in general the ease in how they play is a joy to watch imo anyway. They may not use strikers but Barca dont and it certainly aint Scotlandesque of trying not to win Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GIJoe 98 Posted June 24, 2012 Share Posted June 24, 2012 I'm quite shocked at what I've read on this thread as I'd assumed I was the only person to find Spain boring. Barcelona are as bad and it's not the sort of football I want to watch. I'm rooting for Germany as I think they've been the team of the tournament although after watching Italy give England a football lesson they're coming good too. Can't wait for their semi. Pity that can't be the final. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

G.E.C. 18,993 Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 I keep doubting Spain because Villa is injured. Still scored plenty of goals without him though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sdunsmb 43 Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 It's a style of football that has won them the last two major tournies so it's not surprising to see them stick by it.Personally, I do find it really boring to watch but you have to appreciate the quality of their players.Really interested to see how they would do against Germany.
