2014 WC Qualifiers - Europe

You're not even a real journalism
They should just sit in front of the goal for 90 minutes then...11 packed in front of the net, if that's the goal - to just keep the other from scoring and having no interest in attacking/scoring...Sounds like a different game, see I thought the game was to play

They'd get absoloutely nowhere chasing Xavi & co & get picked off in the process, if they can keep it tight, not concede, they are in the game. That's the plan & it's the smartest plan. They are inferior.

But yes i'm sure the Spanish are sick of facing packed defenses but they are not alone in that.

This England game is a total farce, it's embarrassing to watch.5-0 at half time.

It is a bit ridiculous. I can understand parking the bus when you have a realistic chance of winning, but if you're going to lose anyway without any chance of qualification, why not just attack? Better to lose 10-1 or something and at least give he crowd a goal to celebrate.

1-0 for Denmark in the Czech Republic halfway through second half. If we win this, we could actually be back in contention for a qualification spot. Cornelius, who just turned 20 a few days ago, scored. It won't dampen the heavy interest shown in him lately.

The difference between parking the bus and playing defensively for me is this; when you're playing defensively, you're trying to win. When you're parking the bus, you're trying not to lose.
