Spanish football 2014/2015

Klaus

The biggest reason Spain went out was because they weren't good enough.

That said, Casillas hasn't been his old self for several seasons now, and even back then he always struggled with the high ball. More than any top keeper I can think of his reputation has always been about great reflexes.

If they drew against Chile they would have been through. He was absolutely awful for both goals, as well as 3 of the goals against Netherlands.

I lost count of how many times Madrid conceded in the past 2 seasons because of him.

Klaus

They could have scored more goals too, or defended better, but they didn't. Their goal difference in the group was -3! Like I said, they weren't good enough, and it was not just because of Casillas. Even if they would have wormed their way through somehow they would have been beaten by Brzazil.

Clrnc

Yes, but I don't care whether Spain strikers are toothless or not. We are discussing about Casillas and my point that he's shite still stands. Nothing else matters.

Mirth

You said he was the 'single biggest reason' Spain went out. That's not true and that's what Klaus is arguing.

jones

I'm with Clrnc, del Bosque stinked the place out too but Casillas was the main reason they went out. Against Holland Spain were clearly the better side until he started to gift them goals all over the place.

It is. The keyword is single. It's not their defence. It's not their midfield. It's not their attack.

Mirth

Dunno, I thought Diego Costa gave him a run for his money. Spain only scored their first goal from open play once they dropped him.

In fact, Costa's only scored once while playing for Spain so far.

Bold Tone

The only person worse than Costa for Spain was del Bosque and that was for picking him.
The man was shocking and his only saving grace was Fred outdoing him for shitness.

QuincyAbeyie

Del Bosque was definitely the worst one. Picking players based on their entire careers instead of their current form.

Campbell scored the winner for Villarreal yesterday. Not a great goal, but he really needed it.

That's a great stream. It's a Champions League match, though!

arsedocmd

could be decided today then.

QuincyAbeyie

Messi scores, of course.

jones

That touch immediately before scoring :drool:

arsedocmd

after ronaldo scores in the other game, of course.

arsedocmd

neymar fluffs again, man he's so wasteful and luky to be in barcelona during his crucial development days. Messi so unselfsih again,

Ricky1985

What a miss by Neymar, after a bit of subtle genius from Messi to set him up.

Mirth

How the fuck does he conjure a goal from that? There's literally nothing on when he first gets the ball.
