Lol, no one gives a ****. Lots of bruised ego's floating around in the locker room, Nasri should not have been brought on.
Yeah yeah. You just have to remember that they know how to win ugly and in big moments. I bet it's frustrating since German Football has been so dominate yet they have nothing to show for it.
yes that game was very boring, though I admit it was because france not giving a f*** about being there.
Except for 3 WC titles compared to one, 3 European championships compared to two. 28 tournaments (WC, EC). 20 semi-final appearances. And the word is dominant.
I've learned that any time someone on cf.net uses the phrase "Book it" it never ever ever ever ever ends up happening.
I don't know - I think there is a "good" way of cheering for a team and also a "good" way of gloating - most people here grasp it. Ace and arno_ed and most everyone certainly do. There is one person who doesn't "get it" - REEKO_HTOWN. I'll ask again, are you even Spanish?
Because Blanc is too loyal to certain players. The video by ESPN of Malouda's lack of defense, or tracking back in the Swedish game and in this game was fantastic. Just sheer laziness with a little bit of stupidity that i'm sure Chelsea fans are used to when it comes to Malouda.
cocky spaniards. lol. Are you from Spain. My best friend from college has been a Barcelona FC season-ticketholder for 10 years. They are not like you. Not at all.
Blanc was insane for picking Evra from the start. (He offers nothing Clichy doesn't-neither play much defense, but Evra's attitude surpasses Clichy's.) Then you don't start an arrogant tw*t like Nasri and then keep him on the bench in another game and expect not to hear about it from him. Blanc made his bed with certain diva's and he'll pay for it. I think the Debuchy selection was more defensive oriented not so much for his individual talents in attack. So right on about Martins. Any one would have been a better selection than Malouda. And Benzema won't be the best striker in the world, now, two years from now or ten years from now. No disrespect, he's a quality striker but let's not stretch things. Blanc is also lucky that his boggling selections at the back didn't hurt him totally. If they won and Kos or Rami went out with a card, he would have Mexes but no real back up. Maybe Diarra. Stupid France. Damnit.
That's the thing - I know a lot of Spanish people, and they don't act like that, at all. REEKO strikes me as the guy who has picked the best club team at the time (Barcelona) and best national team at the time (Spain) and then acts all arrogant when they "surprisingly" do well. Kind of like a bandwagon Lakers or Heat fan. There is a certain camaraderie here among the soccer fans on this forum, and the only one who - also, only recently - has been acting a bit like an ass is REEKO (who I think is Mexican, not Spanish).
I spent 7 years of my adolescence in Barcelona. Go back yearly. I haven't been cocky at all but the hate for this team is pretty extreme here. I know it's mostly German fans but this team is special. I've been to a Barca game every year since 05.
Blanc really should've benched malouda for this game really doesn't offer much, he should've put diarra in there instead. He has been playing pretty good in this tournament and aongside m'vila would've thwarted the spaniards a little better imo. Also Benzema plays better when he has proper service towards him as opposed to being the lone target man up there by himself. Maybe a 4-4-2 with giroud and benzema up front and ribery diarra mvila and debuchy on the RMF would've been the better option.
