I very much hope that Ronaldo is able to shake up the Spanish side.

I agree, but lets face it.

Its Ronaldo vs Spain.

[Zoologic]

Go Ronaldo!

That game is quite a torture to watch... tiki-taka for the sake of possessing the ball much longer is not a show item.

[Torenico]

Spain's matches are fun when the opposition can do something.

The first minutes of any Spain match are good, but when they score and the oppositions gives up, its all about tiki-taka, no fun. OK, great football display, but we want to see goals, more goals.

However, if the opposition reacts quickly to that first Spanish goal, or if they score first, then it'll be an entertaining match.

For example, Spain v Italy wasn't boring at all, i enjoyed it.


Sunday: Italy v England, i can't watch it Live because of some TV Rights, but i'll watch the replay.

FORZA ITALIA

Last night's match can only be described as the most boring one yet.

[Kwiot]

What a boring match! Endless passes... I think France lost it again mentally... I hope Germans in the final will crush them and endless passes will turn out as pointless passes.

Since the Euros 2008, all games spain has played in the knock-out stages they have won with 1-0. Today they doubled that score thanks to a penalty.
I really don't understand how anyone can enjoy watching Spain play.

Not saying they aren't good, they are incredibly good at what they do. It's just boring as hell.

Yes, I agree. I totally didn't understand the anti-Barcelona posts by you and some others, but in this aspect I agree. Huge difference between Spain and Barcelona: amount of goals. Goals make the game more interesting! The game Spain plays now is strangle-football.

Indeed, let's hope Spain is out asap. Boring teams should become more attractive or go home.

The way I see it, Barcelona has a good playmaker or attacker with dribbling prowess like Messi, so most goal chances will convert. But Spain has nobody, they don't have Ronaldinho, Rivaldo, Messi, Maradona, Riquelme, Veron (yes Argentina is a good source) and alike to make tiki-taka in enemy's defensive zone more alive.

Anyway, I don't understand why Raymond Domenech isn't out yet. The guy simply can't make a team. France has a lot of talented individuals, but they are not there as a team.

Should have been suspicious, since Henry is still there and Spain is playing with Puyol here...   
Really really stupid of me...

No, that would be a reward for being boring.

[SiCaRiO]

no, that would be the result of playing better than the other team
