Euro 2012 play-offs / Internationals 11/12/15 November ** Spoilers**

[Robbo]

That corner almost went in!

 

[Pigeon_Killer]

Downing's playing very well. Hope he keeps it up and gets in a few more crosses, needs the practice.

 

[Gackt]

It's actually a pleasure to watch England. What a bizarre turn of events.

 

[shipinabottle]

Been impressed with the interplay between the fullbacks and the wingers and zamoras hold up play. Its better than a lot of games I've seen our supposed best 11 play.

They were saying that Sweden have won 55% of their matches when Ibrahimovic plays and 100% without in the last year or something. Sometimes the team works better with no definite superstar to go through.

 

[Cosimo]

Certainly didn't expect that should have been two nil. Expecting more in the second half.

Or maybe it's because Ibrahimovic tends not to play against **** teams?

 

[Pigeon_Killer]

He's put in more quality crosses in this game than he has all season for Liverpool

 

[Ripper]

Why is Sturridge on the left and Downing on the right

 

[syke]

Decent 70 minutes for Zamora, nice link up play - didn't really get much of the ball given to him to do something with, but when he did get it he made no blinding mistakes. Bent will go and score now though..

 

[Biz.Kid09]

Cracking goal from MJ v Bosnia.

2-0

 

[Andybtsn]

Why is Sturridge on the left and Downing on the right

All about cutting in innit.

 

[Pigeon_Killer]

Competent performance against a very poor Swedish side but we should've won by 3 or more goals.

Costa Rica 2-0 up on Spain at the moment.

Costa Rica 2-0 up on Spain at the moment.

Spain played at Wembley on Saturday night then took a flight to Costa Rica on Sunday, which google tells me takes 11 hours.

I'm not surprised they are playing badly, they must be half asleep - whoever set up that fixture is probably not the most popular person in the Spanish dressing room right now.

 

[Shamikebab]

Stunning goal by Nani.

 

[Biz.Kid09]

Good night for City,
Dzeko and Savic both aren't going to Euro's. Aguero looked sharp and scored. Balotelli had a few chances but they were well saved tbh but was still getting in the right positions i suppose. Hart, Milner and Barry played ok.

Roll on saturday!

 

[fozzybear]

Costa Rica 2-0 up on Spain at the moment.

2 goals in last 8 minutes for Spain. Looks like finishing 2-2.

 

[Biz.Kid09]

damn you Del Bosque bringing on Silva. He scored though so not all bad.

 

[Billythekid]

Might get slated for this but apart from setting up the goal Downing was poor. the drive where he was on his strong foot (left) and just tamely shot it at the keeper was disappointing. He then chose to shoot and blaze it over the bar when Barry gave him that back pass just outside the box. Thank god we got shot of him for 20 million when we did to be honest.
