I pretty much agree with that summation, though I enjoy watching Barca play - Spain are trying to play like Barca without the same level of ability.

I think this blog shows there are 2 types of Football supporters.

One who watches and waits for perfection, creative play, esp communication and linking plays. Very high skill level.

The second want attacking, fast, edge of the seat stuff with plenty of mistakes which opens the defense and allows for shots.

I like a blend of both creative attacking play, while making enough mistakes to make it interesting. That’s why I love the A League. Plenty of “lets have a go” with mistakes.

I’m afraid watching 2 perfect Barcelona “Fozzy” type teams play each other would be boring. No one would ever be able to score a goal. Nil nil.

Well then yes. I am from Adelaide. :lol:

My former avatar Vinnie Jones grabbing Paul Gascoignes nuts. But after this morning Paul the octapus deserves some kudos.

You got tricked by the change of avatar? I had to re read his first couple of posts to confirm it was leftrightout as well :lol:

No, absolutely no relevance I was just wondering if he was who I thought he was and he is.

Probably, it seems common practice on this forum to make stupid state based insults.

Thats a fair question. Are you going to insult Adelaideans?

Frustration can be the best form of entertainment. For me anyway. I love watching a team stuff up chance after chance though I won't admit it during the game but after the game (it might take a few days or weeks) I have to admit I had an enjoyable time. It gives me something to complain about during and after the game.
I personally couldn't care less if Spain score and win or lose and not score. I could just watch them pass the ball around forever.

What relevance is that?

I have to back sydneycroatia58, watching Spain play is mostly uninteresting. They move the ball very well but that is about it. I enjoy watching Barcelona play, but watching Barca plus extras who don't quite cut the mustard is not my cup of tea. The most entertaining teams of the tournament were Germany, Argentina, Chile and Mexico. I enjoyed some of the Netherlands and some of the Spanish - but overall they were not all that good a spectacle.

leftrightout are you from Adelaide?

Flawed yes...you just proved it again. Keep going it's funny :lol:

This coming from the guy who said Heitinga deserved his second yellow:lol: And you say my views are flawed:roll:

LMAO +1

sydcro you got no idea bro

I guess this must be where our differences lay, i believe there is more then just scoring goals in football, however i do like high scoring games. I think Spain are good to watch they certainly dont park the bus however i think the displays of skill and individual brilliance is a positive step for football.

However you're entilted to your opinion but i think your wrong this time.

sydcro your just trying to be difficult. Your opinions are insignificant and worthless. It's failed argument from the beggining and your views on football are completly flawed. So if there is any 'lost arguments' its yours, as your dellusional. Happy life mate!

That's the thing though, without goals their style of play isn't that great to watch. I know I hate watching Arsenal when they dominate a game but don't get a goal. It's extremley frustrating watching a team dominate so much but not do anything with it.

They got through this WC grinding out 1-0 wins mainly down to David Villa. Without him they would struggle for goals.

Yea but you have lost your arguement with all do respect, because that doesnt make them boring it makes them not clinical enough they are still entertaining. I mean they are one of the few teams in the WC who played offensive football every game, I think you might of miss understood your own argurment.

Yeah Switzerland had 2 shots on goal and probably should have scored with the other shit. All I'm saying is that for all their dominance Spain had some huge problems converting their chances and dominating matches is no good if you don't convert chances. As an Arsenal fan I know that all to well.

Switzerland had 2 shots on goal being a gunner’s fan I thought u would know what its like to absolutely dominate a team and concede an unfortunate goal and lose

Yes, the better team lost. Good observation. =d>

Sometimes that happens in football.

Well the why do you bother at all?

#-o

be a pal and go take up golf.

And Spain couldn't beat Switzerland

Thank fuck it's over. Worst refereeing I've ever seen, the vuvuzelas are a nightmare, none of the games were packed out and over dramatic cunts lift the trophy again.

I'm happy I can relax for another 4 years without that shit.

Argentina were really enjoyable to watch against Germany :roll: It was the first time their weak defence was tested. And Germany couldnt beat Spain...so there you go. :p

cheers man :)

Ok fair enough why was it a bad wrap? you cant just say that ever heard of constructive criticism?

I didnt want to make it to long and i think in a few lines that summed up the world cup? is there anything you would change?

I never said Sydneycro knew less then me most of the time i agree with what he posts but he is wrong this time in my opinon.

Davstar your not an idiot.

Everything in your wrap is on the money ;)

Spain played excelent football and they were great not boring also they had advantage that Paul the Octopuss liked them

If you think Spain are boring bro you dont understand or watch much football probably behind Germany and maybe argentina the best team to watch this World cup. They may not score as many goals but that is because teams play 5-5-0 against them. [/quote]

Well I didn't miss a game this WC and haven't missed an Arsenal game for about 2 and a half seasons or isn't that enough football for you.

Like you said probably the 3rd best team to watch this WC all I'm saying is that I didn't find them particularly entertaining and would much rather watch Germany or Argentina.

So what if teams park the bus against them what do you expect them to do against Spain. Switzerland showed it worked so why wouldn't they do it?
