Spain v Sweden

[BobbyBiscuit]

Watching this just now on FootyDoctor (thanks Robo!), brilliant game. Spain look awesome, I really hope they FINALLY realise their potential next summer.

Won 3-0. Looked ***king brilliant, and that's without Raul and Morientes playing for them. Their midfield was exceptional... Xavi, Abelda, Iniesta, Fabregas... They have a chance I think.

Spain have been expected to do well in world cup and euros for so many years

and never fail to flop.

I wont hold my breath that 2008 will be any different.

Neither will I. Was just trying to raise a discussion point.

Result at least gives Northern ireland some sort of a chance

 

Swedish defeat at home to latvia and northern irish away win over spain sees them go through

unlikely though

Every year, every single time a big tournament comes around I expect the Spanish to be there or there abouts.... On paper they have, IMHO, the best team in the world, and have done for a number of years. Unfortunately they are a bunch of spine-less bottle merchants - anyone putting their dough on Spain next summer is a fool.

 

The winner will come from Italy, France or Germany. Business as usual.
