Paid Members CleetusVanDamme Posted April 6, 2020 Paid Members Share Posted April 6, 2020 There's a fine line between mesmerizing and boring. Barca usually had enough invention and imagination in the final third to stay on the good side. Spain OTOH, was like watching a Lance Storm vs Zack Sabre Jr iron man match in black and white.

Mr_Danger Posted April 6, 2020 Share Posted April 6, 2020 (edited) Exactly. I was thinking of that exact same example. Remember that Spain vs Chile world cup match where it was just Spain knocking it about for the last 40 minutes? Fuck me, give me Stoke shit housing and hoofing it any day.

I'm with you there. Spain when they won the Euros in 2012 were unbearable to watch (in contrast to the 2008 side and to a lesser degree the 2010 side), well apart from the final. Del Bosque managed to suck the joy out of them and make them functional. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SuperBacon Posted April 7, 2020 Share Posted April 7, 2020 Mourinho has been caught training with 3 players on Barnet Common. Honestly, Spurs can fuck off at the moment. Where's my Brentford shirt? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zep81 Posted April 7, 2020 Share Posted April 7, 2020 One of the players was Ndombele. Mou really doesn't like him lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members PunkStep Posted April 7, 2020 Paid Members Share Posted April 7, 2020 You couldn't make it up could you. He hates him so much that he wants him to catch a fucking virus by making him do extra training during isolation. Somewhere Luke Shaw is gulping a sigh of relief. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember that for Brazil 2014 we had kick off times of something like 6pm, 8pm and 11pm which meant I didn't miss any due to work etc. Even in Europe there are always 3pm kick offs which can make it awkward and don't get me started on 2002. Fucking waste of a good tournament that was. Echo the love for USA 94. The first World Cup I can properly remember, we had the wall chart up at primary school and everything and the headteacher insisting we filled it in as a class before any thought of some actual schoolwork Japan 2002 was mental. I remember Brazil vs England kicking off at like 8am but you could still watch a match. USA 94 the matches were through the night. First one I think would have been 11pm. Italia 90 was good for the kick off times. BBC had "Nessum Dorma". ITV had the lovely Rod Argent & Peter Van Hooke "Tutti Al Mondo" as it's theme. Kind of a forgotten World Cup theme.... Love the wee bit of fast drumming at the end of things they used to do. Edited April 10, 2020 by bAzTNM#1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Briefcase Posted April 8, 2020 Share Posted April 8, 2020 (edited) It's funny how you remember games with iffy kick off times. I remember watching one of Englands group games in school (98 world cup) as it must have kicked off at 2pm or 3pm. How they allowed us to watch this I'll never know. World Cup 2002 the Brazil game I remember watching before work in our canteen and them allowing us to start work later/work through lunch/finish later. I'm sure on that day the Tube was empty as most of the nation stayed at home.  Edited April 8, 2020 by Briefcase Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First the disappointment on how shit the TV reception was and how I was getting S4C in perfect picture but no ch4 or Five. Then I discovered Sgorio. I think they had La Liga, Serie A and Bundesliga highlight rights at the time. It was fucking amazing. There's an S4C programme at 9pm on Friday looking back at 30 years of Sgorio. Its been on before but really good. (With subtitles for you lot over Offa's Dyke)  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
