I do agree Spain way of playing is boring and useless. The same than F.C.Barcelona but with the difference they have the best forwards to finish the never ending passing.

Possesion per se doesn't makes sense if you don't do anything with the ball, if you have the 80% of possesion, you should had shot at goal more or less the same or close.

Portugal to me is even more boring, playing the lucky card of Cristina, but if they work for them, like in the Eurocup, good for them.

What I can stand is players that doesn't move. I commented this to Pottel in facebook, I watched the Belgium game as they have many many talented players and it was so shocking to me that, having so much class, when De Bruyne had the ball and was searching for someone to pass and start an attack, nobody moved trying to help, everybody stayed in their positions like waiting that the ball arrived to them instead of moving to free spaces and contribute to the game, helping the team mates etc etc A big waste of talent.

Whan I'm watching a game, I can't stop seeing that empty spaces where nobody is, where nobody goes to offer themselfs and play. That cost usually loose the ball and danger to be scored by the rival.

I have to say that I'm more a football fan than a Spain supporter. I'm only a 100% supporter of Atletico Madrid :)
You might get lucky, now and then

What the **** happens with the supposed big teams? It is supposed that European and South American selections are the big teams but African and Asian ones are teaching them how to play this game!
What are you talking about? Belgium IS performing!

Even Portugal won one? What's so wrong about that? Portugal has always had great teams and has almost always reached the later stages of both the World Cup and the Euro... But then again, you're spanish, so I naturally understand the arrogance and cockiness.

Lol that was low... but to be honest here I'm just teasing you, I'm with Julio, I don't really care about Brazil. I'm a football lover and care a lot about my team, Botafogo (I support Atletico de Madrid and Liverpool too), but I only brag about our national team to make fun of my foreign friends. In fact, I was rooting for Germany that day, especially for political reasons. Usually I simply don't care though.

But yeah, win something relevant first and then come back to talk with the big fellas  :lol

Oh, the Portugal-Spain rivalry... come on, guys, let it be. Each of you got half of South America, Tordesilhas signed, it's all said and done. Can we be friends now?

Which rivalry?

It's needed a rival for that, lol. Nobody, except a Portuguese would take seriously Portugal as a rival!

It's just another team with good individual players and one big starlet. Honestly, Belgium is far better than Portugal.

Lol not risky at all, brazilians take football quite seriously when it comes to local rivalries and stuff but we are very laid back when it's about countries - unless you're from a certain blue and white country that speaks spanish and has the best player I've ever seen...
