England vs Spain in Seville - 11 February 2009

Anyone going up to see the England vs Spain match in Seville on Wednesday?

Shall we start some predictions?  Here's mine

Spain 2 - 0 England

Justin

Spain 2- England 1

With Beckham  Spain 0 - 2 England

Without Beckham  Spain 0 - 0 England

Just been on the radio that plain clothed Police are out in force at Manchester Airport trying to trace hooligans that are on their way to Spain...no doubt to cause trouble and tarnish the Brits yet again.

Spain 1 England 1

Went to this stadium in late November to watch Sevilla v Villareal...good game but it was acold night and there is no cover...so take a hat!!!

Capello won't have his mind set on this game - he has been linked with taking over @ Manchester City in the summer.

Also with Roooooooney out injured - who's going to score England's goal?

England 1 - Spain 0

long range shot Lampard as Gerrard wont be playing.

What was the result? 

the match is tonight Maria!!

   Ha ha Jet, It's good to have a comedian on the site.

Spain are undefeated since November 2006 - so it won't be an easy game for England.  And expect someone to get crocked! 

Maria: Are you a footie fan?  If so, what's your best position?

 Cheeky Acky 

Justin: But the thread said 10th of February and that was yesterday!

Acky: I love international football matches.. specially when Spain plays!! I already posted my position Acky:  Spain 2-England 1

Enjoyyyyyyyyyyy it!

Maria: Glad we've cleared that up then - after getting what appeared to be a yellow card by Acapulco

you were lucky it was't a RED...

Acky

As a lawyer, Maria should be pretty good in defence!

 Yes you are right Maria,

the thread says the 10th February.   I even looked in the paper to see if it was on TV surprised I could not see it. 

Then found it on Wednsday's tv mind you to be fair Justin states Wednsday at the begining of the thread.

 I think we should give him a  yellow card. for confusing us.

P 

JC1 - is that Jesus Christ out there?

he is out there, my son, but it's not me...although i feel as though i am asked to do miracles at times!!!

 Hallelua, some people with smiles in their posts.

 Well done Justin,

Your Prediction was right hope you had a bet on it?

  I never got round to putting a bet down...doh!

Justin

....bah humbug

England played quite well i thought, but Spain were just better, and deserved the win.

Spain v England ..Re; my posting...'Capello won't have his mind set on this game - he has been linked with taking over @ Manchester City in the summer. Also with Roooooooney out injured - who's going to score England's goal?'...

England were terrible..and hardly troubled Spain throughout.  Even Capello has said in his after match interview that they simply couldn't get the ball off Spain.

Maybe JC1 can have words...as some of the England players do think they really can walk on water!

Capello has done well since replacing McLaren - and I think they will qualify for the 2010 World Cup Finals in South Africa.

Well done to Beckham on his 108th cap, equaling the late Bobby Moore's total.  Now JC1, Beckham is a player that has risen from the dead..after the flack he has had in recent years..and having been axed under McLaren.

JC1: Q.  Are you in United's camp - or are you with Oasis? (*non-footie fans: Oasis are City fans). 

 I felt England played well until conceding the first goal.Whereas England played a lot of good 2 touch football Spain played a lot of 1 touch football that had England chasing shadows.A goal always lifts a team and when Spain raised thier game a little after the goal there was no way England could match them. A couple of chances were created in the second half but I think spain had taken their foot off the pedal by then.They really are an outstanding team in my opinion.

Acapulco.  Yes, your'e right - Spain are the European Champions.

Here's a smile for you  have a nice day.

Acky..to all those who know about football all those who live in Manchester support the World, European and Premier league champions...those who live in Stockport support City or County..

I watched the game and was disappointed with the performance of many of the team. It seems we are constantly bombarded from commentators about how good some players are in the EPL but it has to be said that most of what we saw was dross. The Villa players were poor, Downing cannot play at this level and James is in retirement.  Spain even looked good with 4 Liverpool players playing!!!!  We really need Rooney and Gerrard and somebody we have forgotten about and that is Joe Cole and Hargreaves they are a class above the rest.

I watched Sevilla against Villareal live recently, out in Spain, and the standard of football is as good as anything at the top end of the EPL. ( except United of course )

JC1.. as I said in a posting..who is going to score for England..with Roooooo out?

Ok, it was a friendly, and with Roo and Ferdinand fit, I think England are a much improved force. 

It was injury that put paid to not qualifying for the 2008 Euro Finals.

After Capello quits in the summer, when he moves to Manchester City, maybe Fergie will stand down as manager of United - and take over the England reins?  

 Can't totally agree JC- Heskey was doing well with little support  and quite frankly Carrick did not impress either. SWP did quite well also ( not often I say that) but he is so one footed ( as are so many supposedly top class players).                          Have to agree about the success of the Liverpool players though and how England missed Gerrard 

Acapulco...forgot Heskey was transferred recently...yes he always does well for me and Rooney plays well with him...Carrick is possibly footballer of year if Giggs doesnt win it..or vidic...but he cannot play well with Barry the plodder ( wish  liverpool had bought him last summer and sold Alonso)

Acky..Fergie said he will never manage England.....even he is not that daft!!!
