I woke up for this?

 

[don ramon]

this is rather uneventful

spain gonna pass the ball around and not much else

 

[isco]

nope

 

[eracism]

Keep that price tag down Golovin

 

[jape]

russia have done their homework trying to cut off the supply line to busquets
common tactic against barcelona as well

 

[rolaholic]

PK on Pique!!

you got to understand why though.
spain have to play like this cause teams are scared to press them cause they know they will get picked apart.
so spain will make you chase them the whole match and then the spaces open up once their legs tire.

Dude tried to deny it

That was as blatant as can be

 

[LA Diggler]

Putin put the call in

 

[eracism]

I'm convinced now Pique is the saboteur.

 

[rolaholic]

Welp,have to say Russia deserve that...

They've been well organized,disciplined and have come in with a clear gameplan and are executing it well outside of that tough break with the OG

the scoreline isn't indicative of how this match is going.
spain are dominating possession but no real chances.
they look how they are supposed to but russia got unlucky and got an own goal.

without iniesta it looks a bit like isco has too much responsibility to create all by himself.
there have been no good chances
but it's still early and spain passes teams to death. russia will open up

Yup.. just feels like Spain will win this 3-2 or 3-1

 

[lovehateself]

I’m glad something happened

 

[don ramon]

vlad put the call in i see

Maybe this will ignite Spain?

In the words of the great @psk2310

It better...

This WC has really hammered it home that these big teams can't be taking anyone for granted

 

[Belgium]

Kinda odd that Putin didn’t come to support his team.

[jape]

spain needs iniesta on the field

 

[PRIME]

When Kate wears those black skirts...

 

[whtascene]

Don Iniesta is needed to start making the team click.

 

[Canadian Destroyer]

Since has russia even been a threat in the football world? All of a sudden they’re a good team this WC?

 

[PRIME]

That was a world class own goal now that I look back at it.

Cheeky backheel, erm... Back calf
