Its also hard to know why so many teams like the Czech Republic (like Ukraine last night) put in so much effort to get to finals if that is all the intention they have of making games of it!!!
Of course "if you push out" v Spain theres the chance "they will do you" BUT its also true they are fucking rank (De Gea aside) at the back!!!
I would HATE to play in a team like that that refuses to have a go!!!
The amount of times you see see it ,
a team dominating possession ,loads of clever intricate passing,just can't score,
what wins the game ? far post cross to the big guy.

Seemed prone to silly offsides to me.
We have, he has a year left and a huge reputation for his age but I would be surprised if he doesn't join Barca or one of Madrids.
The 3rd place thing is what making these group games pish i think. Just don't come bottom and you have a reasonable chance of getting to knock outs after not putting in much effort.

I've missed something then? So it's not like the WC where only the top two from each group go through?

Its the top 2 and the 4 best thirds (they need 16 to go through to the knockout stage)
