Spain deserves no pity !!

For all their domination on the pitch, they fail to score… what a whacky match (Spain vs. Switzerland). The swiss hardly touched the ball during the first 20 min of the match for god’s sakes ! In short, I blame Vincente Del Bosque (Spain’s coach) for his vital role in ensuring the defeat.

2 Wingers

When I saw Silva and Ineista running down their opposite flanks, I had a feeling that shit is about to happen. Look, Silva is a heavily left-footed left midfielder; by placing him on the right side of the pitch, the Spanish are basically constricting the game plan towards the middle of the field, i.e. Silva would most likely cut into the defensive most of the time since he can’t effectively cross with his right foot. The same applies to Ineista only that he is heavily right-footed. So the resulting is that nobody’s crossing the ball effectively, and thus, the attack was easily broken up by the Swiss defense everytime.

In my opinion, Spain should be spreading the defensive line and not constricting the line instead. They shot themselves on the foot by focusing everything through the center. The Swiss simply pack themselves in the middle and defend… Del Bosque got it so wrong !

Now, the story would have been different if Silva or Ineista are in the mold of Robert Pires. Pires was heavily right-footed but he is a predominantly left winger. His trademark crosses from the inside foot (right) makes him a nightmare for any full-back; hence his suitability for the left side. Apparently, neither of the Spanish wingers are close to that.

5 midfielders

During HT, Del Bosque should have brought on a more potent attack force, aka Torres ! I mean come on, when there are not many shots on target with 1 forward for 45 min, isn’t it pure logic to add in a striker to boost the attack ? Why stick with 5 midfielders to control the ball, but not score in the end ?

Defense

I confirmed, Pique is gay… hahaha. I mean seriously, how did he even lost his balance by colliding with the GK ? They should be communicating and not trying to make out during the match… tsk tsk. As a DC, it was a schoolboy error…The next to come was the icing on the cake, ever played STREET FIGHTERS pple ? Yeah… Pique got a scissors kick from an opponent, and then bam… GOAL for the Swiss !! Hilarious lah… the more replay I see, the more I think the Swiss player has street fighter blood in him… wahahahah

Well, kudos to the Swiss – They deserve the victory. As for Del Bosque, he deserves to be sack ! Haha
