If it's not skill, it should be easy to steal the ball back then.
Skilled square passing is still boring as hell.

So much of this.Spain - taking the joy out of football one tournament at a time.

I know it takes a lot of skill to do what they do but that doesn't make it beautiful. They're playing football, not handball. And then all the praise they get... I haven't seen an exciting Spain match in years.
Spain force their opponents to play that way which does make it their fault. More power to them I guess. It's just not enjoyable for a neutral supporter.
England really is cursed at Penalty Kicks. Pirlo scored a pretty save-able penalty kick and then Young misses. Or did that happen first? I already forgot.
That was pretty much a game to see who loses to Germany though. I want Germany-Portugal, that would be a fun one to watch.
Germany has two extra days of rest - poor scheduling.
For the life of me I can't understand why they didn't play two quarterfinals per day.

I agree that most teams have too much respect/are too scared of Spain. Italy played fairly offensive against them and actually got a draw. They could have even won. I think Portugal need to try to play their own game against them, with a bit more focus on the defence maybe.LJT said:The other teams do have a choice in how they play Spain, the most common approach is the park the bus, but if I were them I would just go for it, what does it matter if you lose 1-0 or 5-0?
Pirlo is such a boss.
who else wants italy to win euro 2012
Italy -Germany should be a good match. Sadly I'm gonna miss the next three matches because I'm at Werchter.
