One issue with our plan of defense the first 25 minutes or so is that game would look shit like Iran-Aussie or even this past game. Hope Spain don't score then because it's normally not in our spirits to get back. Just plain truth as I see it. I'd wish we control the ball better in that initial part of the game. HOld your breath ladies.

It would be much more frightening than either one of those matches! The Spanish side is out of this world. They are more talented individually

Seriously what is the point of allowing football to become such a physical game full of fouls, shirt pulling, pushes and shoves? Who the fuck enjoys that kind of shit? The whole point of the game is ball movement and most teams have opted to hinder it as much as possible. The game has become a festival of physical battles with the occasional movement of the ball in the intended way.

90% of the physical contacts in this game should become punishable fouls. Fucking shirt-pulling is the most disgusting thing now tolerated by refs.
Still its come a long way ,in the 70s you had to break someone's legs to get a yellow card !

Not really. 70s was the advent of technical players who would actually attempt beautiful dribbles. They were often tackled and taken down, but they prevailed most times.

Today, literally no one even tries to beat their man because the "ball" has lost its importance.

Something is wrong with the game. We never had this level of players' hands being so involved. Even players like Messi and Ronaldo enjoyed a different level of freedom when they were younger.

Red cards for shirt-pulling are a must. Red cards for having your arms around a player are a must. In general, football should contain less wresting and more "foot"+"ball".

What do you mean ? you think they are not going to qualify for next round ?
nope!

Reports coming out from the camp are terrible about team spirit and relationship between players, coaching team and subs. Also, Sampaoli is opting for a very weird 3-4-2-1 whatever formation that they haven't tested at all and there is no chance in hell it will work.
