Like Bas said, there's about four people in this whole monster of a thread who have any clue what they're talking about. |

I am not talking because futbol obviously isn't my sport. But.. I do watch sports.... just other sports.. but I DO watch them and I never surround myself with people who are unfamiliar with it.
... so all the complaining is because of a party you went to or what? I just don't understand that part.
I watched the winter olympics this year and I loved it - even though I, myself, have never snapped on a snowboard.
I just don't get why people get so bitter about your 'main sport'. My bad if I assumed you were coming out bitter. |

:p
And yeah, poor Torres :( world cup, ending to this past EPL season and now a hammy injury on top of it? Looks like he'll be staying with Liverpool then :D |

| If you're a Liverpool fan I'd start getting worried. Torres has been seriously injury-prone in the last two years. Hernias, groin surgery, now his hamstring... He's starting to look like the new Michael Owen. |

This morning I got an e-mail from an Italian customer who still believed we should have won, regardless of the bad first half. He told me Spain is like Italy, now they think they have the best team. He thought it was much better in general if Holland had won, also because of history.

:stongue: :stongue: :stongue:
Spain has the best team. They've had it for over two years now.

After I congratulated a customer from Spain by e-mail he called me to say thanks. They were very happy of course, but also said they had to work hard for it. Spain never won because they never had the winner mentality like Germany has. Now also because of the Barcelona players and way of playing that changed a bit.

I don't know where to begin, really. Spain has always been a very offensive team, one that always goes for the win. It's part of their football philosophy. Luis Aragonés built upon that and added his own stroke of genius by making them search for the opposing goal in a very specific way which is to take and maintain possession of the ball and by consequence take control of the match. You may not like that style, and you might favor teams that give the ball to the other team and counter-attack or teams that use fast breaks along the sidelines or any other style, for that matter. You should just go out and say that instead of evidencing that you don't know what you're talking about like that malek idiot who said Spain plays like Italy.
On a side note, Spain's success isn't exclusive to football. In addition to their Euro and WC trophies in international football, and FC Barcelona's impressive run in club football they've been excelling in a lot of major sports recently. They have Rafael Nadal dominating tennis, Fernando Alonso in F1, Alberto Contador in cycling, FC Barcelona won the equivalent of the Champions League in basketball, and Spain won the World Championship. The list goes on and on...They've been putting a lot of time, money, and effort into their young athletes and it's paying off big. |

Well, unless you stay at home and watch all the games by yourself, you're bound to be with people who aren't familiar with the sport. Football, in some countries, transcends the sporting world and becomes a social phenomenon. I got together with some friends to watch some matches and there's always people who aren't there to watch the game and go just because there's booze. These are the people that usually make the same idiotic comments as the ignoramuses that populate this thread. |
