dodojojo 510 Posted September 2, 2011 Share Posted September 2, 2011 Iniesta, brilliant again. Wish VB would drop Alonso and play Iniesta in the MF which where he plays for Barca. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dodojojo 510 Posted September 2, 2011 Share Posted September 2, 2011 Spain, so much more dynamic without the two holding MF system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tortilla9 390 Posted September 2, 2011 Share Posted September 2, 2011 Spain wins 3-2 with a PK in the dying minutes. Chile 2 red cards. Fight breaks out at the end of the friendly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dodojojo 510 Posted September 2, 2011 Share Posted September 2, 2011 What did he miss ?And is he playing good aside this ?It wasn't a sitter, but it was a fantastic pass from Fabergas and Torres controlled the ball wonderfully but missed it wide from the edge of the box. I think he was trying to curl it into the corner but couldn't quite bend it so it looked like a bad miss. He played well enough if a bit isolated. Obviously with the MF that Spain has, Torres never has to drop deep for the ball so he doesn't get a lot of touches. There were a few crosses and passes that didn't reach him.Spain was dominant in the 2nd half. I hope VB sees how much better Spain is without the double pivot and just plays Cesc or Iniesta in the MF. Those two saved VB today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dodojojo 510 Posted September 2, 2011 Share Posted September 2, 2011 It was weird that Torres ended the game with the captain's armband. When Xavi left, Ramos got it. But somehow Torres ended up with it even though Ramos was still in the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tortilla9 390 Posted September 2, 2011 Share Posted September 2, 2011 At least he's taking shots. I'd rather he try shooting than laying it off to someone else. Spain's drama queen antics continue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dodojojo 510 Posted September 2, 2011 Share Posted September 2, 2011 Yes, the end was embarrassing, especially for a 'friendly'. Busquets as usual was an idiot. Did you see him charging in? Torres as captain should have stepped in more to keep it calm. He was keeping the peace but in his typical low key way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dodojojo 510 Posted September 2, 2011 Share Posted September 2, 2011 Mata didn't come on. Maybe he will play on Tuesday. I expect Llorente to start as CF since he didn't play today and Torres to sub on if needed. That game is an Euro qualifier so only 3 subs will be allowed.

Tortilla9 390 Posted September 2, 2011 Share Posted September 2, 2011 Torres is probably thinking what the hell is the matter with you La Liga players?!? It's a freakin' friendly. DB needs to do a little ass chewing because the team is that talented that they don't need dumbass behavior like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tortilla9 390 Posted September 2, 2011 Share Posted September 2, 2011 Too keep in mind Mata is a relative newcomer to the NT and one of the younger ones. He's a little further down the pecking order for Spain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest justin_3d Posted September 2, 2011 Share Posted September 2, 2011 Internationals....not even worth my time anymore.It's so boring and dis coordinated that is no longer worth watching.Club football is the best, and CL the best competition in the world.International is just played more for the pride of the country, then a true spectacle as you witness in the CL.

dodojojo 510 Posted September 2, 2011 Share Posted September 2, 2011 To be fair, Chile plays pretty hard, bordering on dirty. And it was Iniesta who kicked it off and he's usually very calm so it takes a lot to tick him. It was Arbeloa and Busquets who turned it into handbags. Torres fixed his hair and then stuck a hand in to chill out a Chilean Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
- 25 - 167 Posted September 2, 2011 Share Posted September 2, 2011 I thought Spain were diving about like a bunch of fannys tbh, not surprised Chile were pissed off with the ref. No way was that a pen at the end either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
