Spain Can't win & I wont want Villa

Euro 2008 Liverpool
by seaXcel (U11131863) 10 June 2008
comment on the article

looking at the Spain game against Russia I breaks my heart to say that Spain has the most talent but have No team! All they have are selfish players that don't play for the sake of the team but for individual glory.. At times I thought I was seeing another David Villa the Liverpool fans wanted but In my opinion I thought he was far too selfish for the team.. Torres is a far better team player and lad than DV. He is selfless ... I know they probably are amongst the 2 best strikers in the world but I'm to choose I'll go for Torres.. Don't get me wrong DV is great but I think there were some clear balls he should have laid back for FT.. Also the team? Unless they play as one not as individual talents wasting I don't see them winning ...

You?

A few predictions:

- Spain look good at this stage, as does Holland, but neither will win if faced against Portugal or Germany.

- Villa or Podolski will be the topscorer of the tournament.

- Villa and Ronaldo will compete for the title "best diver" in Real Madrid next season.

Arsenal fan in peace.

I can't see Torres scoring many goals as I don't think Spain's style suits him. Just like Barca's style doesn't suit Henry.

Both Henry's and Torres's main attributes are their pace and Spain/Barca play slow build up passing football which means that Torres/Henry don't get the direct ball they want to run past the defence.

The one time a more direct ball was played and Torres could use his pace, he got in and set up Villa.

Spain's style doesn't suit Fabregas much as he would prefer to use his passing range to get Torres running at the defence. Its a real shame.

I cannot believe the Spanish team!

They completely ignored Torres in todays game. I was looking forward to seeing Torres put a few away today but no one seemed to take notice of him.

idiots if you had seen David Villa more than in todays game you realise he is NOT a selfish player.

He does play other players in because he can pass very well, and is not lazy like Berbatov, he works hard for the team.

Thats bull from Capello....Ireland played Spain in the WC2002, and matched them with passing and movement.

That was a team with Matt Holland, Mark Kinsella and Kilbane.

The team was so average(the team now is more better) and it was nominated for 'Most Entertaining team'

Euro 2008 Champions!!

Not likely after the way the Dutch have played.

Another year where the Spanish will fall short of expectations.

Likely to draw with Sweden in their next game?

The article about Capello saying Spain are better than England is just wrong. Ok... So Spain may be better than England but a great England manager shouldn't say stuff like that. Even if Spain are better than England a great England manager should never say something like that to the media.

But since i'm not England manger i can say that Villa is a great player and a prem league club should have a look at him. He is a great goalscorer. A good attacking passer. And works well with torres.
