[GiRTh]

No Torres in the line up for todays game. As if I hadnt already had enough disasters with my fantasy team, now I find my star man may not be playing.

[MissKittyFantastico]

Torres not playing?

Ah well, probably saving him, Spain have so many amazing players this should be a walk in the park for them.

[King Gizzard]

Ppfft I had spain in my team

Now some random from New Zealand will be put in

[Novo]

**** sake

He best come on at half time and score a hat trick then

[Novo]

No fabregas either!

[MissKittyFantastico]

Boooo Howard Webb

[MissKittyFantastico]

Fabregas will come on as a sub in the second half

[King Gizzard]

Come on Switzerland

[MissKittyFantastico]

Vamos Spain!!

[Shaun]

Yay, I predicted the Honduras/Chile game correctly. If today's my day, it'll be 3-1 to Spain.

[King Gizzard]

Howard Webb what a hero

[King Gizzard]

I got the chile game right too

[Novo]

Thought Honduras were going to win that

My lead has been cut to 3 points now i think :(

Have 3-0 here

[MissKittyFantastico]

Howard Webb is a twonk

[King Gizzard]

Best ref at the tournament

[Nemo123]

Eggiman!:hugesmile:

[MissKittyFantastico]

I had 1-1 down for Honduras v Chile

Need Spain to win 4-1

[Nemo123]

Ticky-tacka. That's what England need - ticky-tacka-tics.

[KG.]

Yay, I predicted the Honduras/Chile game correctly. If today's my day, it'll be 3-1 to Spain.

That was exactly the same as me :laugh:

Glad Iniesta is playing today, it said "Doubtful" on the fantasy league, but I risked it, hopefully he will get some assists, and I actually hope my prediction for this game is wrong as I don't want Casillas to conceed. :hugesmile:

[30stone]

I love spain <3

Hope they win.

[MissKittyFantastico]

I love spain <3

Hope they win.

I love them too!

[30stone]

Howard Webb is a twonk

Hes the best english ref..

And the rest of them have been bloody awful!

Anyone see palacios get booked for being the wrong person? lol


Spain should have started with fabregas, hes had a better season than both xavi and iniesta.

[30stone]

Why did you all put torres in your team when hes been a doubt since before it started.

[Nemo123]

Hes the best english ref..

And the rest of them have been bloody awful!

Anyone see palacios get booked for being the wrong person? lol


Spain should have started with fabregas, hes had a better season than both xavi and iniesta.

He's been out injured for a long time at Arsenal.

[Ninastar]

does torres play for spain?

[MissKittyFantastico]

I haven't got him in mine

And yes he does Caitlin :)

[Nemo123]

does torres play for spain?

aye

[Ninastar]

Yay! <3

[30stone]

He's been out injured for a long time at Arsenal.

Fabregas is the most talked about spanish midfielder this season by a long way he had an amazing season.


36 games.. 19 assists 19 goals in all competitions.

Iniesta 42 games 1 goal!
Xavi 53 games 7 goals!


Fabregas has been nothing short of amazing.

[30stone]

Yay! <3

He has an injury worry though, so is only on the bench.

[Nemo123]

Those a striker statistics. Maybe he's a striker.

[30stone]

Fabregas isnt a striker, and wasn't played as a striker.


They are all Attacking midfielders (mostly central)
But iniesta plays left or right to.

[Nemo123]

7 years at Arsenal, 32 goals, 19 last year you say. Odd season.

Not counting last season, that's about 2 goals a season.

[Ninastar]

He has an injury worry though, so is only on the bench.

what, NO!!! Not fair :'(

[30stone]

7 years at Arsenal, 32 goals, 19 last year you say. Odd season.

Not counting last season, that's about 2 goals a season.

In all competitions.
15 goals in the league.

He played 0 games in his first season (as he was 15)

Last season was by far his best, his second being 7 goals (15 goals in all competitions) but its about form.


Like i said THIS season he has been the best so because xavi done better 5 years ago he should play?

Anyway.
(in the league)
Fabregas 187 games 32 goals (7 years)

Iniesta 210 games 17 goals ( 8 years)

Xavi 352 games 35 goals ( 12 years)


All the statistics show fabregas being better right now at this minute.

[Ninastar]

Okay who is number 7 on spain? I am in love with him!!!

[MissKittyFantastico]

David Villa Caitlin :laugh:

[30stone]

Spain, completely dominant..

Although its 0 - 0.

I think after say 70 minutes (once switzerland get tired) i think 1 - 2 - 3...

[Ninastar]

David Villa Caitlin :laugh:

thanks :) x

[30stone]

Okay who is number 7 on spain? I am in love with him!!!

What a guy.

Oh my GOOOD!
*melts*

[30stone]

Spain definately deserved a penalty then.


And david villa needs a second striker..

[Nemo123]

They need a goal. Bring on Fabregas.

[MissKittyFantastico]

thanks :) x

He is rather yummy :hugesmile: x

[30stone]

Oh my GOOOD!
*melts*

*dies a little*

[30stone]

Bring on fabregas for busquets ( move alonso to defensive midfield) and bring on torres not sure who for though silva maybe

[Nemo123]

http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2008/10/03/article-0-003EEE9B00000258-241_468x409.jpg

Could be his twin.

[30stone]

*dies a little*
who does he play for?
Valencia.


Hes one of my favourite players.

Im always valencia on fifa. as hes such a quality player.


Hope he gets 7 goals + this competition.

[Big Brother Fan]

Forget Villa. Iain Dowie is the man.

[Ninastar]

[Nemo123]

Phwoar!

[30stone]

David villa : "I want to win the golden boot as well as world cup"

[Nemo123]

Wayhey!

[MissKittyFantastico]

Switzerland have scored!!

Ooooh well I just need Spain to score 4 now lol

[KG.]

Arrghhhh, now I just hope Iniesta can score three to make my prediction come true and get me lots of points.

[King Gizzard]

Fernandes!!!! :dance::dance:

[MissKittyFantastico]

Torres is warming up now for those of you who've got him in your team :)

[30stone]

NOO!

They gotta win this!



"Fabregas always a gunner" lol really?

[30stone]

Torres is getting ready :)

Come on and score!!

[Ninastar]

OH. MY GOD!! He has had a haircut. omfg! okay I fancy him again

[King Gizzard]

Come on Blaise N'Kufo

[MissKittyFantastico]

OH. MY GOD!! He has had a haircut. omfg! okay I fancy him again

You're meant to be focusing on the game not the fit players :nono::joker:

[Nemo123]

"Come to United"

Man Unitd can't afford him.

[King Gizzard]

Benaglio what a brilliant keeper

[King Gizzard]

Torres doesn't look like a girl/baby now

[Nemo123]

Torres doesn't look like a girl/baby now

He looks like an ugly girl with a bad haircut.

[30stone]

FFs come on spain!


They need to at least draw.

[Ninastar]

You're meant to be focusing on the game not the fit players :nono::joker:

lmao I cant help it. I think its the only reason im watching.

[30stone]

Navas?

They should have brought fab on instead.

[King Gizzard]

That ball is ruining every game

people are underestimating the ball and it keeps flying over

[Nemo123]

FFs come on spain!


They need to at least draw.

Could they be going home early?

[KG.]

What a shot from Alonso :amazed:

Shame it didn't go in.

[MissKittyFantastico]

Arghhhh what a strike off the bar!

Spain will score very soon, they're coming so close!

[King Gizzard]

Benaglio would of had that covered

[Nemo123]

Chances are coming for Spain, surely they'll score.

[KG.]

Wow, unlucky for Switzerland there off the post.

[Nemo123]

Argh!!

[King Gizzard]

Derdiyok what an amazing striker

[KG.]

As much as I like Spain it would be great to see Switzerland hold this lead til the final whistle.

[King Gizzard]

Its the curse of the fifa tournaments getting to Spain againnn

[30stone]

Could they be going home early?

No i dont think so, i think if they were to lose it would spir them on make them fight harder and not underestimate people.

[30stone]

They brought pedro on and not fabregas??

[MissKittyFantastico]

Why the hell have they not brought Cesc on?!!

[King Gizzard]

Pedro has had a great season though

They don't really need fabregas at the moment with Xavi and Iniesta

[30stone]

Spain are slacking.

[30stone]

Pedro has had a great season though

They don't really need fabregas at the moment with Xavi and Iniesta

They took iniesta off though.

Fabregas is the one who would thread the perfect ball into torres or villa..

[Nemo123]

No i dont think so, i think if they were to lose it would spir them on make them fight harder and not underestimate people.

Great spur for Chile to hold them out.

[30stone]

I think

Spain 4 - 0 Honduras
Spain 3 - 1 Chilie

[King Gizzard]

Time ref!! they shouldnt be having this corner

[King Gizzard]

Switzerland will be going through now

All they really need is a win against Chile or Honduras

[Nemo123]

All over!

[Nemo123]

I think

Spain 4 - 0 Honduras
Spain 3 - 1 Chilie

That game should be a humdinger. Spain have to go for it.

[MissKittyFantastico]

I actually can't believe it lol

[Nemo123]

what odds now Spain foe the Cup?

I'd say 20-1.

[KG.]

:laugh2: Who would've thought..

England can feel much better about themselves now cosidering how the majority of the top teams have performed.

France draw against a relatively easy opponent.
Argentina just win against an easy opponent.
Italy draw when they should've won.
Brazil were underwhelming against the worst team in the tournament.
And now Spain lose to a far more inferior oponent..

And England draw against a solid team, from a silly mistake, it definitely looks much better in hindsight.

[Novo]

I'd say 20-1.

about 5/1

[Nemo123]

about 5/1

If that is so, then it's just because money is locked into them. Where you can lay, Betfair, I bet they have drifted nearer 20.

[King Gizzard]

First round of games is over now

Now lets hope for a goal fest!!

[MissKittyFantastico]

Well said :D

The only thing I'm worried about is if we don't finish top of the group we could meet Germany (if they finish top) and judging from their perfomance the other night they could cause us big problems.

[King Gizzard]

Makes me feel better about Englands chances

[*mazedsalv**]

I just want to say I dont support England before I say anything else, sorry BUT i have a deep feeling they will get to the final. I support Italy but cant see them get into the querter finals for some reason.

Spain VS Swizerland, easily the best and most tense WC match so far....

[headaball]

Some great defending that from the Swiss. Ottmar Hitzfeld is a great manager.

[30stone]

I get spain in the sweepstakes.

and they **** up, typical.

[King Gizzard]

Bofana Bofana!!

[headaball]

Predictions for the SA and Uruguay game? 2-1 to Uruguay for me.

[King Gizzard]

The vuvuzelas are going to be torturous tonight, will have to mute it

[30stone]

The horns wernt bad in that game?


and it does make us look better. but holland have looked most solid.

Didnt play amazing but hard opponents in a denmark who beat portugal and sweden..

[headaball]

Those vuvuzela's didn't sound as bad. Maybe the bbc turned them down a bit.

[Nemo123]

I think Germany have looked the strongest, and Argentina played well within themselves.

[King Gizzard]

I'm not saying they were bad, I'm saying theyre going to be bad during the SA game

[Nemo123]

The quality of the HD picture is amazing. I just got a new telly yesterday, and I have a freesat HD box.

[30stone]

I think Germany have looked the strongest, and Argentina played well within themselves.

And holland because really argentina had fairly easy opponents, and germanys opponents were crap.

They both looked good, but holland looked a bit dodgy but played the stronger team.

I'm not saying they were bad, I'm saying theyre going to be bad during the SA game

Yeah was just saying they seemed quiet tho, but yes they will be for south africa.

[King Gizzard]

[King Gizzard]

Deflection...not as good as first though

[Shaun]

wow @ the spain result - I was napping, and Jen (tibb) texted me saying WOOO SWITZERLAND, lmao.

I almost want Uruguay to thrash S.Africa just so we never hear another vuvuzela.

[Shaun]

tsk. sending off a South African. *waits for that referee to be shot dead*

[Nemo123]

Can u hear it? Silence.

[King Gizzard]

Awww but they sing before their games

[Nemo123]

Bad sports, going home.
