Spain-South Korea Friendly 30 May (R)

Hello from Korea.

Even without full strength, Spain will win with little trouble. I call 3-0 or 3-1 Spain.

 

which is why Spain's world cup team (superior to the current team with crappy Negredo) could only beat them 1-0 with a full strength squad and the goal coming seconds before the final whistle.

 

Hopefully Ji-Sung Park's appearance on Running Man has tired him out.

 

Hopefully will see the full team this time and make it much more exciting

 

Ji-sung had already retired from the internationals.

 

The scoreboard didn't indicate how the match went. As far as I recall, Spain dominated the possession and had more opportunities to score.

 

Confirmed starting XI

............................ Reina ..........................
Arbeloa ... Albiol ... S.Ramos ... Monreal
................ X.Alonso ..... Beñat ................
...... Cazorla ......... Silva ......... Mata ......
........................... Torres ..........................

Players from Barcelona and Athletic Bilbao will join the squad at Las Rozas on Friday. Puyol and Villa are expected to attend for moral support.

 

For those in the U.S. the game is scheduled to be on ESPN2 as well as ESPN Deportes and online ESPN3.

 

Monreal is so shit, second choice LB should be José Enrique.

Reina sucks too, every time he's in goal for Spain I shiver. I always think he should get called up because he keeps the team together and keeps everyone's morale high but please, just stay on the bench.

 

Don't know why they couldn't hold the Copa del Rey the week before it happened, that it's the case that we're playing a friendly in preparation of the EC with players who already know they aren't in the squad for the tournament....is a little strange to say the least.

 

Torres better show up today.. he needs to give us something now that he is obviously going to start every game.

 

Nice attack there, too bad Torres couldn't keep up the tiki taka although it wasn't that easy to control the ball. Good shot by Xabi in the aftermath.

 

Gol by Torres If he has the tournament of his life I will advocate for him to be selected even when he's 60.

1-0

 

I wanna see a better goal by Torres.. this was a fluke header

 

A man can dream:

..................Silva.................
Iniesta.......Xavi........Mata

 

Ball rotation is pretty damn good so far. Torres was onside there, but didn't score anyway so it doesn't really matter.

 

That wasn't offside... and Torres misses a one on one.

 

Aaargh just a little too hard from Mata there.

 

Arbeloa is terrible.. how can someone at his level play for Real Madrid I have no idea.

 

Oh my god.. what a goal by SC.. amazing. 1-1

 

Shouldn't have passed the ball, just shoot it on goal and score yourself.

And the Koreans score right after. Instead of 2-0 it becomes 1-1

 

Our back 4 are terrible.

 

mata misses a 1 on 1... lol
this should have been 3-1 at the very least.
