Can't wait for the action. Unfortunately, I don't see Spain abondoning their short pasisng system. I would not be surprised to see them go through with a 1-0 victory courtesy of a late winner as they did in the knockout stages in South Africa. Can't wait for the action in Georgetown!
Hey... let's go France!
Wish I was there!
Torremelinos! We're over at Casa WHR enjoying some Spanish beer and guacamole. And of course the company is fabulous. Wish you were here, UWS!
Oi, mate. We're gonna Skype you at the half. Make sure you don't go walkabout with Shadow, eh?
Good afternoon UWS and BD. I am having at blast at Casa WHR. WIsh everyone was here. Am enjoying Spanish ale and chips. WIll feast on payaya later
Spain vs France is interesting as France is the last team to have eliminated Spain from a major tournament and the last team to have scored more than one goal vs Zspain in a majoor tournament
We're off from Donetsk!
I am here with BD , WHR, Gooner , and Phil
Useless by Silva as Spain were in a PROMISING POSITION
Two former Arsenal players going for the ball as Fab goes down too easily as Clichy barely touched him
A slow start as both teams have cheaply conceded possession.
The cross is straight to Lloris from a Spanish possession.
Arbeloa was well offside from a through ball from Fab
Lots of Spanish possession, but the final ball has been lacking
GOAL !! 1-0 SPAIN AS XABI ALONSO SUPERBLY HEADED IN FROM A GREAT CROSSS BY ALBA
Miles over fom Xavi as Spain looked top go two goals up
Larry White's whites are trailing
Hey Boys,
Just got back from a graduation party a minute after the goal!
Bugger
Hast it been all Spain?
Enjoying Chez Menditto?
USeless free kkick from Benza Moi
27 games... 27 games with goals.
Only 4 to go!
Yes to both questions, UWS . Good afternoon. How are you?
Headed well over by Fab.
Sergio RFamos is booked for a foul on Benza Moi in a promising position
Casillas tips over a free kick from Cabye
Wish I was there
Decent effort but saved by Casillas.. then he fumbled the corner.... got a way with it
Casillas drops a corner from Ribery under pressure from Kos, but gatgeres at the seconbd attempt
So, it looks like the Battle of Iberia for the semi final
COME ON PORTUGAL!
Decent run by Ribery.... decent cross cut out.. Benzema should have run in front of the defender
Malouda is playing instead of Nasri??
He was France's best player against Englane
Pique should have done better with that header
Ribery's shirt is completely ripped down the side... shirt pulling perhaps!
We have talking about head to head tie breakers. Bob claims you were walking Shadow and he states that you should start letting the kids do this.
It is looking like an Iberian Derby in the semis and I would favor Spain
What does tie breakers and walking Shadow have to do with each other
Cabaye and BViscuits are down and Cabaye is booked for a foul
Bob is looking for an excuse to give you some stick.
Debuchy fouled Jordi Alba just outside the box
Useless free kick from Xavi straight to Llris
1 added minute
Into stoppage time . One minute of that as I am thinking of snacks.
Hakftime and 1-0 to Spain
Half time and the World and European champions have the lead
That was a fun video call!
Thanks for calling
On comes Nasri
As one Citeh comes on... another goes off... Silva
IS THAT BOB'S GOLDEN BOOT CHOICE COMING ON?????
ooh Ribery crosses low...almost
Spain are boing
Giroud comes on for Midldlesboro Villa
M'Villa
Torres with a chance... he's offside anyway
Arsenal to buy another French striker... will wonders never cease!!
Why are the French wearing white?
Surely, red and blue don't clash!
Well... it doesn't when United play Everton or Chelsea
"happy enough to play keep away"
I hate the Spainish
Get it over Ribery
Disappointing game right now
I think Spain matches are boing to watch. Too much possession without doing much. The opponents just sit back... ATTACK THEM!
PENALTY TO SPAIN
Stupid challenge
Alonso tries to score his second.... and does!
Sends the keeper the wrong way... two-nil
That goal was scored after the 90 minute mark
The Iberian Derby.... Ronny to take on Spain again
Right now... England are guaranteed to be at least one of the last five playing!
Game over
Spain 2 France 0
NOW IT IS ENGLAND'S TURN!!!
Have a great time the rest of the night boys
CHEERS UWS!
It was a pleasure skyping with you after not talking to you for so many years. ENJOY!
Another fabulous day. Thanks for West Ham Rising for a bang-up spread and paella dinner.
After the match and feed, we spent two glorious hours reliving our glory days on the pitch. Wish you were here, UWS!
I wanted to thank WHR for his hospitality and the tremendous dinner.We had a kickabout and a penalty shootout where WHR defeated BD in sudden death.I will never forget this. It was also great skyping UWS. Too bad UWS wasn't here. I bet he would have won the penalty shootout.
COME ON ENGERLUND! TIME TO KISS THE FLAG!
