No Bryan Ruiz no party

 

[Connor]

Keylor Navas one of my favourite keepers ever too, he is boss.

Still convinced he's a massive match fixer but least he makes it entertaining

Is he still at PSG?

Is he still at PSG?

Apparently so

 

[Wizard]

No he had to keep going full speed to get to the ball. Havertz literally could have stood still in an onside position and still scored. There was quite literally no reason to mess it up.

He didn't, he'd have made it to the ball in plenty of time. Easily could have held his run

He made it because he didn't break stride. If he does he's not getting there.

Anyway it isn't the same still, Havertz had to just not be a complete moron. I'm the worst player I know and I could've scored that chance because I wouldn't have had to try and move while doing it.

Is Sergio Busquets playing CB?

Is Sergio Busquets playing CB?

according to the BBC, Rodri is

I swear the last time i saw Bryan Ruiz he was playing against the US and looked about 50 years old in terms of movement, how the feck is he still playing

Done a work predictor thing for the WC. Having gone with the big teams so far, this was the first kind-of upset I picked - a 2-2 draw.

Therefore, put your mortgage on 8-0 to Spain.

Enrique will have them getting after it. A win is pretty important with Germany capable of turning it around and finishing on 6 at Spain's expense.

Not sure Costa Rica can handle the kind of pressure Spain will throw at them.

Imagine if Japan and Costa Rica qualified. Would be crazy scenes

I will be amazed if Costa Rica scores two goals this whole tournament. They play awful, awful stuff.

 

[TheBigIguana]

The big lesson Spain needs to learn from Argentina and Germany is don't miss all your shots. Bad start.

If Spain could finish all those chances they create, they would be the favorites going away.

As it stands, they can be beaten on the counter if they spend the day misfiring in the opposition box.
