World Cup 2022

All those dissing Busquets ..

He controlled things as usual .. carrying Pedri all evening .. against a midfield of Goretzka / Kimmich / Gundogen !!

 

[BBZ8800]

Because he was being chased at a rather high speed and his angle was blocked by Unai Simon and he ran out of time.

But 95th minute
Probably your last shot

And his choice was: there won't be a shot at all

Did he fuck.

Spain never remotely controlled that game and he struggled to move to get on ball when CBs had it and pressed.

His usual.

Fora DM to make 44 passes in this Spain team with way they are set up is terrible.

Barely moved and pointed to pass somewhere else when under the slightest pressure.

 

[Zidane82]

Poor game. Neither side looks great.

Spain struggle to build up ball from back against a team that will press them.

Gavi was absolutely invisible and has a lot to learn about getting more involved in games.

The Spain front players were all garbage.

Gavi was decent I thought. ..

 

[JamDav1982]

Gavi was decent I thought. ..

Pedri was by far Spains best midfielder.

Gavi barely touched ball.

 

[Luftstalag14]

Fair result indeed, both team pressed hard, retained possession, attacked and the actions were on both ends.

Spain is not yet safe and Germany still can advance. If Spain beats Japan and Germany beats Costa Rica by a rather comfortable margin, Germany will be through as the 2nd of the group. If Spain loses to Japan and Germany might be in trouble.

 

[ajnotkeith]

Gavi only completed 9 passes all game. That's incredible.

 

[fergus90]

Gavi started okay and faded after about 15 minutes. Pedri gave Kimmich the run around the first half but faded out a bit.

 

[utility73]

Gavi was decent I thought. ..

Thought so too .. Koke was a bad sub.

 

[Nazario1985]

Busi showed he is still the boss

Pedri like always is NOTHING during second halves

Those CBs need to wake the fuck up

Spain is yet safe and Germany still can advance. If Spain beats Japan and Germany beats Costa Rica by a rather comfortable margin, Germany will be through as the 2nd of the group. If Spain loses to Japan and Germany might be in trouble.

Spain can't lose to Japan.
Worst case would be a goalless draw

Germany will paddle Costa Rica, this means Spain 1st Germany 2nd

 

[JamDav1982]

Gavi made 12 passes...he was an absolute passenger.

While had a 75% pass rate.

He was not good tonight at all.

 

[CatalinR10]

Did you place bet?

yes

 

[JamDav1982]

Busi showed he is still the boss

Absolute nonsense.

Busi showed little other than he cant move to get on ball.

Neither will lose their last game. Japan won't know where the ball is vs Spain and Ze Jermans will pummel poor Costa Rica in order to blow off some steam.

Germany would have qualified even if they lost tonight. Japan losing to Costa Rica was the nail in the coffin for the Japanese.
