used to be a big fan of La Roja, but i couldn't even be bothered to keep up with their results these days, let alone watching the games Laughing

I can't get it in my head why you would just flat out refuse to play your best player by far.

Thiago is Spain's best player and it's really not even close. He's head and shoulders above anyone else.
Yet Lucho keeps ignoring him, and can't even win against Poland and Sweden? Jesus.

Spain and England are probably the most boring team so far in this tournament. Even Wales, Turkey and Slovakia play entertaining football.

by Myesyats Sun Jun 20, 2021 10:13 am

Slovakia not a pushover either so Spain could be in trouble.

Thiago hasnt been that great since leaving Bayern though hes probably still better than pedri/rodri etc

by Babun Sun Jun 20, 2021 1:04 pm

I have to give to Spain. They make a real effort to score and still are boring as hell. I don't know whether it's the coach, the players or a bit of both. Sweden is also boring but they've got a game plan.

Apparently there will be changes to the line up for Spain.

Busi, Thiago and Azpli will return to the starting team.

by Arquitecto Wed Jun 23, 2021 1:46 pm

Busquets like for Barça just aint cutting it for the national team either and even Thiago looks out of sorts. Terrible start so far but next came will be the difference for us.

I dont know why they bothered with all the groups, the only day worth watching is when Group F is on.

Group E to start the day, I dunno, something can happen if Spain win or Poland win or somebody wins.
I just hope all the Group E participants play nicely and clean football and that they enjoyed being part of the tournament. I really hope they all get a nice big participation trophy when the day is over, I hope all the other groups get nice participation trophies as well.

by Superstone Mariomintsch Wed Jun 23, 2021 5:08 pm

Forsberg has scored. So early

by Warrior Wed Jun 23, 2021 5:14 pm

Morata with the bad penalty kick

Even me i can save this shot

by rincon Wed Jun 23, 2021 5:16 pm

Morata

Such a frail player

by Superstone Mariomintsch Wed Jun 23, 2021 5:20 pm

The MorMor duo has completed the quest of missing penalty drinking

But seriously, this tournament already has so many missed penalties. 6 already I think?

Dubravka with the slam dunk !!!

by BarcaLearning Wed Jun 23, 2021 5:35 pm

Maybe players been under lockdown for too long, not used to converting pens in front of so much crowd? Razz

Spain finally score, had to be OG of course Razz

by rincon Wed Jun 23, 2021 5:40 pm

That was probably the best chance Slovakia will get all game, really shouldn't have score that.

by elfmeter Wed Jun 23, 2021 5:50 pm

Yeah, I am not sure Poland deserve that Participation trophy.

by McLewis Wed Jun 23, 2021 5:57 pm

That Dubravka own goal is horrific. Like a volleyball spike into the net. It looked like he was trying to push the ball over the bar, but misjudged it massively. Rough.

Interesting to see Laporte scoring for Spain.

by Warrior Wed Jun 23, 2021 6:06 pm

I guess he got blinded by the sun. Slovakia are struggling to touch the ball so the good news for the keeper he won't be the only culprit today. Spain playing their best match so far.

by Superstone Mariomintsch Wed Jun 23, 2021 6:27 pm

GOALS GALORE! All of a sudden it's 2-1 for Sweden vs Poland. Forsberg scoring all Sweden goals and Lewandowski did the same for Poland

by Winter is Coming Wed Jun 23, 2021 6:35 pm

Ferran scores 30 seconds into entering the game hasn't really impressed me playing on the wings with Valencia/City or Spain but has been good as a center forward should be benching Morata.

by Superstone Mariomintsch Wed Jun 23, 2021 6:39 pm

Ouch! How would Morata feel, the guy who subbed him scored instantly like that

by BarcaLearning Wed Jun 23, 2021 6:40 pm

Spain struggling up front, who would have thought 5 goals now lol... Im just half watching the match, not sure if its Spain being that good or Slovakia being that bad? Razz

by Robespierre Wed Jun 23, 2021 6:45 pm

Poland just tied dai dai forza Polonia

by elfmeter Wed Jun 23, 2021 6:56 pm

Better second half for Poland, but Lewa cant do everything. Maybe give them the participation trophy based upon the second half performance.

by Superstone Mariomintsch Wed Jun 23, 2021 7:00 pm

WOW! Sweden scored with their last attack of the game. With the score being 2-2, if Poland scored, Sweden would fall to 3rd place. But Sweden scored after great work by Kulusevski to assist Claesson and regained their 1st place back from Spain. Incredible stuff
