FBS: Vincente Del Bosque would change things around. . . . . Personally, the 4-1-3-2 Spain deployed in the first half didn't really work. Alonso was getting pulled out of position as a DM and the Spaniards have been all over the place. We might see Senna coming in to help Alonso in the middle with Fabregas getting a breather. 4-2-3-1 with Torres leading the line woulda been more effective. |

By the way, it wasn't Pique that he turned. Wasn't it Capdevilla? Pique was in front chasing back towards goal? No? |

Oguchi is playing like he needs a new club. Manhandlin and dismantling 'em spaniards |
Re: FIFA Confederations Cup: South Africa '09 Official Thread by Sauron1: 8:26pm On Jun 24, 2009 |
FBS: It wasn't Pique. . . . . .Capdevilla was marking the striker from a wrong angle. He was the last man. . . . . Why try and get in front when he shoulda stayed with him. |
Re: FIFA Confederations Cup: South Africa '09 Official Thread by MrCrackles(m): 8:27pm On Jun 24, 2009 |

mykali: I tell you, dat dude has been immense, unsung hero! He his good i must say, he didnt cut mustard at NUFC but has done alright at Standard Liege and even prior to coming to Europe! Go on GOOCH, keep Villa in the pocket, he his a runt! |
Re: FIFA Confederations Cup: South Africa '09 Official Thread by FBS: 8:32pm On Jun 24, 2009 |
~Sauron~:Then who goes off? Capdevilla is the left back and he is having a nightmare of a game. |
Re: FIFA Confederations Cup: South Africa '09 Official Thread by Sauron1: 8:33pm On Jun 24, 2009 |
FBS: Fabregas makes way. Alonso and Senna to protect Spain's back four cos Capdevilla is having a mare.
He needs protection. . . . . WHAT A TWIST shot from Villa!!!!!! What a save from Howard!! |
Re: FIFA Confederations Cup: South Africa '09 Official Thread by FBS: 8:34pm On Jun 24, 2009 |
~Sauron~:Yep precisely. I was just commenting on this. Emperoh: Look at how he turned Pique!!! |

Obama must have had a word with the Americans before this match. They are playing for their lives. |

FBS: It;s going to be a long night for em. Spain played into their hands. . . . . .The front 4 shoulda been. . . .Villa, Torres, David Silva and Xavi. Alonso and Senna to sit and protect their back four. . . . Cheese n Rice. . . . .How many ex-United players are playing in this tourney? |
Re: FIFA Confederations Cup: South Africa '09 Official Thread by MrCrackles(m): 8:40pm On Jun 24, 2009 |

FBS: Are u saying Senor Xavi dived? |
Re: FIFA Confederations Cup: South Africa '09 Official Thread by MrCrackles(m): 8:41pm On Jun 24, 2009 |
~Sauron~: Shut up Sharo-Wiwa Why dont you go out there and sit in the dug-out, barking instructions and sorting things out! |
Re: FIFA Confederations Cup: South Africa '09 Official Thread by Emperoh(m): 8:42pm On Jun 24, 2009 |
MrCrackles:Try B-ball. . . . he was a team captain!! Just a matter of time before the Spaniards score!! |
Re: FIFA Confederations Cup: South Africa '09 Official Thread by FBS: 8:42pm On Jun 24, 2009 |
MrCrackles: But do you think The Yanks can pull this off? |
Re: FIFA Confederations Cup: South Africa '09 Official Thread by Cristalz(f): 8:43pm On Jun 24, 2009 |
The Americans have got determination. . .grit. They want this badly and they're playing like it too. Spain want it, but they aren't playing as hard, aren't playing like it's do or die. And, the USA's defense is tight. Very efficient. A lot better than the Spanish defense. The Spaniards need to get their act together. @FBS Call him 'B' jo. . .it fits. @B Better accept it |
Re: FIFA Confederations Cup: South Africa '09 Official Thread by FBS: 8:44pm On Jun 24, 2009 |
~Sauron~:erm em . . well, he tried to. |

Re: FIFA Confederations Cup: South Africa '09 Official Thread by FBS: 8:45pm On Jun 24, 2009 |
The Yanks are sitting too deep. That might be a mistake. They ain't that fast on the counter or are they? |
Re: FIFA Confederations Cup: South Africa '09 Official Thread by honeric01(m): 8:46pm On Jun 24, 2009 |
Guys, I'm not watching the match but who is pressing who? And how is the trend shaping |
Re: FIFA Confederations Cup: South Africa '09 Official Thread by FBS: 8:48pm On Jun 24, 2009 |
ME thinks aside formation, The USA are playing with more determination. The Spaniards on the other hand are playing as if its a friendly. |
Re: FIFA Confederations Cup: South Africa '09 Official Thread by Cristalz(f): 8:48pm On Jun 24, 2009 |
Damn. As painful as it is, got to go now guys. Unavoidable errand to run. Dunno why it can't wait till tomorrow. Will have to record. Thank God for PVR, but it still doesn't beat live. Don't disappoint me, Spain. I've still not recovered from Egypt's blow. |
Re: FIFA Confederations Cup: South Africa '09 Official Thread by Emperoh(m): 8:49pm On Jun 24, 2009 |
FBS: Don't really think so but the way these Americans built their defense, will make Spain sweat for it!! Still some good time left to play. Cristalz:Spain ain't known for grit and all that. They have a sleek and smooth way of getting their things done. if it doesn't work for them that way, then its not just their day. I wanna see a Brazil v Espagne final!!! |
