EURO 2012: Semi Final Day 1 Matchday Thread.

[adrianr]

Why do the commentators get all excited when Ronaldo gets a free kick 30 yards out? His conversion rate is fucking awful!

 

[Pigeonho]

Just not getting the dip right, the lad.

No-one in this thread has questioned/criticised Spain's ability.

Why do they need a plan B then?

I didn't say they did?

So when you said "Spains issue is that they don't have a plan B", what exactly were you referring to?

When plan A is so effective, who gives a fuck about plan B?

I think I heard today that they have won 50 of 57 matches under Del Bosque. How can anyone criticise that?

If Rakitić (I think?!) had headed that great chance down into the ground instead of straight at Casillas, Spain wouldn't have even qualified through the Group Stage. They haven't been good in this tournament.

In the 54 matches previous to this tournament they were great to watch. Fast paced, incisive, as good as it gets.

This is not as good as it gets.

When you've seen how good they can be, you will compare them to that all the time.<br /><br />-- Wed Jun 27, 2012 8:17 pm --<br /><br />

So is everyone's. Hardly anyone ever scores from a free kick.

Because like they say, it's riveting. The build up, the arsing around etc. I watch it and wonder what the fuck will happen. It's good viewing.

But they rarely start bashing one out when anyone else gets one. They make it sound like he's taking a penalty!

They don't need one... but then they don't have one. Perhaps if they did, they'd have had more than one shot in 70 minutes.

That's true. But it is the BBC. There's a caveman co-commentating tonight.

To be fair if Spain gets through they will not win it.
