But personally I don't want England trying to emulate Spain. It's pointless. Im willing to bet that Spain will never be able to emulate this side they've got now.
Young and Carroll's places could be under threat and I doubt Parker won't play that poor again so theres an improvement right away. Trashley should stop trying to be a winger, he ain't.Little Green Man wrote:The main culprits for surrendering the ball last night...

They have a fantastic crop of players. Do you think that in ten years time when Xavi and Iniesta are finished they will have replacements as good?Lord Kangana wrote:Spain win World Cups and European Championships. And are favourites for this. Considering the discussion is about winning vs style, I've yet to come across more f*cked up logic in all my born days.

So what was Spains grand plan? Ask Barcelona to produce a load of top level players for them who play together regularly?Lord Kangana wrote:Aspire to be the best. Spain weren't Spain before they became Spain. Its nonsense to suggest its some kind of miracle. You can trace each and every footballing epoch to a plan coming to fruition. If Andy Carroll is our plan, then thank f*ck we aren't trying to emulate them it'd be embarassing.
And that's the point. No point trying to "emulate Spain" if we don't have the players that can. Better off trying to be England and playing to our strengths.Lord Kangana wrote:Aspire to be the best.

I'm not sure whether what we concentrate on in this thread will have much bearing on the Ukraine result...TANGODANCER wrote:Perhaps we should just concentrate on getting past Ukraine first? Don't get a point there and we're on the plane home.

Good thinking. It's been really successful over the last 46 years. Style? Style? what is this style, and when is it going to make English football even competitive?BWFC_Insane wrote:Lord Kangana wrote:Do you ever think before posting?BWFC_Insane wrote: No doubt Spain will win it, unless Germany can stop them.

So we just try and copy the style of whichever side happens to be winning stuff at the time?
No we try and win it, but with a style that suits our players and where they play.
More than one way to skin a cat. You have to play with the cards you are dealt.
it is! so - it's ok to talk about the possibility of playing Spain, isn't it? what's the problem??TANGODANCER wrote:Oh, sorry, I thought the thread was Euro 2012.

There is no "problem" and the talk wasn't of playing Spain but playing football like them. My comment was based on that we won't do that now, possibly never, but certainly not in this tournament and that we should concetrate on playing as well as we can against Ukraine or none of it will matter anyway.thebish wrote:it is! so - it's ok to talk about the possibility of playing Spain, isn't it? what's the problem??TANGODANCER wrote:Oh, sorry, I thought the thread was Euro 2012.
