Nah mate. Russia are getting deep because Spain are slowly forcing them back by passing the ball between the midfield and the defenders then progressing their back line up. Russia when they get possession are high enough up the park. Watch next time the Russian keeper has the ball. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really enjoyed both games and results yday, hopefully the Croatia game will be better We went in to a couple of shops but mostly in the search of violet gin. Was a genuine pub crawl.

Pass pass pass pass pass pass pass pass. Where's the freedom to just play football? Take your man on and make something happen. There's been arguments that Russia are parking the bus but it's the slow build up play of Spain that's progressively forcing the Russians to get deeper and deeper.

SIRB_72 4,000 Posted July 1, 2018 Share Posted July 1, 2018 Spain are so so slow. Pass after pass after pass. Why is nobody willing to just have a fucking pop. Even if they get through this I can't see them winning the whole thing. They're just as bad as Germany. Fair play to Russia who have just kept them at arms length.

tannerall 25,935 Posted July 1, 2018 Share Posted July 1, 2018 Ticcy tacky football got sussed a few years ago by the Germans, who played wide around the midfield instead of through it. Football moves on, as far as I can see it's now a midfield battleground, with a good goal taker up front making the difference. Saying that though, the Argentinians, who I had as favourites fucked it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
