Evil V France

Diarra for Malouda, Menez for Debuchy. Play very deep, then counter with everything we've got. Ribery has been playing with Arbeloa whenever he had the chance and Menez would push Alba further back.

well at that point in time both realised how wank Malouda was

You lot are just taking Spain's brilliance for granted. They are unbelievably good.

Pretty much. They don't have any strikers and Arbeloa is so bad that they're practically playing with ten men, and they've still dominated all over the field.

The goal looked like a screwup by Ribery to me, by the way. Lazy little goblin.

Think we're still in it to be honest. Very fucking annoying to have conceeded only because of a mistake by Debuchy. This would be 0-0 otherwise. Just need 1 chance. We've had opportunities - M'vila has played good long passes through the midfield but Benzema always chickens out of the run.

Cabaye is a proper man. Love him. So annoying he plays for Newcastle.

the spanish love-fest by pundits has been awful. Highlighting how negative the French were when they've actually been very positive on the ball

Kos has done more good things this half than Mexes ever has.

Spain are completely dominating proceedings, as expected.

But France in general have been very disappointing. Blanc needs to gamble a bit now in the second half, maybe shift Debuchy back to RB, and put on Ben Arfa. Not sure what Malouda is offering in the middle of the park either? But of a surplus in more way than one, should be replaced also.

Koscielny showing Blanc how wrong he's been the last 18 months, too.

clichy missing at the back post. #seenthatbefore

and why play with a back four against zero strikers? so many times, you see four guys at the back marking no one, with spain just playing keep ball in midfield. i'd take reveilleire off for nasri. push debuchy and clichy up as wingbacks, drop m'vila deep as almost a 3rd CB. cabaye, nasri, malouda and ribery tucked in narrow in midfield with benzema up top.

Spain won't play with this plan for 90 minutes, they are waiting for france to make some changes before they bring on Torres, navaz and pedro

banduan

lol spanish dive in defense too

banduan

again, good work by france but no final ball

y va marquer

Improvement from France.
At least getting into threatening areas, bit of brilliance, luck, set-piece and they could haul back a goal

banduan

Alonso is one tough nut

tazmania

France playing better. Ribery playing like a donkey tho

banduan

ugh debuchy needed to do a bit better there

ribery's been ok this half. Final ball from France finally

Benzema has fucked up too many good opportunities for the French. Malouda wasteful as always.

y va marquer

Menes and Nasri about to join in.

IrishOwen

Menez and Nasri coming on.

Malouda and Debuchy off?

banduan
