To Morata: "You had just one job"

 

[AAABatteries]

Spain will walk this group.  85% possession so far - they probably don't need Thiago, Cesar, Ruiz until the quarterfinals.

Maybe - I would be concerned about their back line if I were a Spain fan.

 

[Sinn Fein]

That was a great call, btw.

MORATA!!!!!   really should have scored

 

[gianmarco]

Just looked at Spain's roster.

Only 3 from Barça, and none from Real Madrid.  Odd days.

Yeah, which is what makes this passing that much more impressive.

Like crane technique: if do right, no can defense.

 

[gianmarco]

Lol, oh Sweden.

Shoulda brought Kepa ...

Under 1 wager for the 1H making me a little nervous....

squeeky bum time

Fati would probably be here if wasn't hurt. Maybe the same with Ramos, not sure the back story on him.

Ramos - if memory serves - was left out over fitness issues.  Didn't he miss much of the spring?  I know he came back late, but I thought he missed a bunch of time.

PHEW!

Yes.  He wasn't playing much in the Spring.  He had some contract stuff (maybe he was out of contract?) but no one else seemed to want him...

 

[CletiusMaximus]

PHEW!

Great bet! 

 

[McBokonon]

The Swedish team looks surprisingly well put together.

Yeah, but it took the manager all day to do it and he ended up throwing a vase into the wall out of frustration

 

[AAABatteries]

Yeah, but he gets meatballs with lingonberry jam at halftime - totally worth it!

 

[The Gator]

If Morata can just hit the target they should let it count.

He kept losing the Allen wrench!

My Spanish is solid but I had no idea that Morata was Spanish for "off target"

 That was a bad joke

Though Twellman at least used a correct reference.

Guess if Sweden has a bad clearance leading to a goal he'll say he served it up like an Ikea Swedish meatball for a cheal goal.

[gianmarco]

Swedenduras really taking the time wasting to elite levels.

 

[QuizGuy66]

Whistling growling louder from restless Spain fans

[gianmarco]

Berg is Swedish for Morata.

 

[AAABatteries]

OMG - tap it in

 

[B Maverick]

Berg is Swedish for Morata.

I thought Morata was spanish for Werner?

 

[AAABatteries]

For all of Spain’s dominance, Sweden could have two goals.

 

[B Maverick]

Zlatan on Ikea

 

[Desert_Power]

I thought Morata was spanish for Werner?

Depends on which Spanish dialect. In Argentina, this translates as Higauin 

 

[Ramsay Hunt Experience]

Shoulda brought Kepa ...

And maybe Strika

 

[Ramsay Hunt Experience]

Spain should bring David Villa back to knock in some goals and sexually harass some interns.

 

[The Z Machine]

Spain need some viagra.

 

[Ramsay Hunt Experience]

What's amazing is that Morata is the success story out of that attacking trident of Jese, Munian, and Morata that were supposed to dominate for a decade.  

 

[Sinn Fein]

Munian,

Iker Muniain - FM legend 

 

[Ramsay Hunt Experience]

Luis Enrique really trend-setting here with the business cargo pants.  

 

[Sinn Fein]

3 shots on target is a lot of wasted possession.

[Ramsay Hunt Experience]

Cajuste must be Swedish for Fellaini.

 

[Desert_Power]

Barely any soccer being played lately...

 

[B Maverick]

Cajuste must be Swedish for Fellaini.

Did he miss a header and elbow someone?  

 

[AAABatteries]

Typically I hate the underdog playing so defensive and not going after a goal but in a 3 game round robin it’s just the smart play - especially in game 1.

The sad thing is that Portugal in 2016 looked every bit as impotent as Spain do here.  And we know how that ended.  Not sure Spain has anyone to come off the bench and score a winner that would be as hilarious as Eder, though.

 

[AAABatteries]

Damn fine save there

 

[B Maverick]

WOW excellent save by Sweden's keeper

 

[B Maverick]

Explain to me why keepers are putting the ball on the floor to kick long.  Can they not punt farther then they can kick a ball off the ground any more?  Or is the couple of yards outside the box that much of an advantage?

To waste more time, I believe.

I think the spin on the ball and trajectory are better with the ball on the ground.

couple of yards and a little more time wasting - also, I guess there's the possibility of a miss-kick.

I get that late in the game.  Maybe thats when I notice it.
