I'm still wondering why Spain played like they should only in ET? is it because Italy got tired and couldn't keep up, or was it Spain's gameplan not to waste too much energy before the HT? they created twice as many chances in ET as they did in normal time.

Because Italy had no strength to maintain their intelligent gameplan - hence it became easier to get involved in attacks. It was a great tactical setup by Prandelli. Man, he's really a maverick. Sometimes he's making unexplainable choices, but sometimes knows to hit the exact needed combination. Like a super-Allegri. |

You're being silly if you think just because you don't like Spain, all neutrals do as well.
My father is a neutral and he finds Spain spectacular. and he's seen it all, from the days of Pele to Maradona to Zidane. |

Obviously not everybody, but I think the majority does not enjoy watching them right now.

Yeah. You could feel it in Fortalenza when the neutrals cheered for Italy.

Italy actually played better. But you could also hear the crowd cheering for Nigeria for example against Spain. |

That is because Brazil and their fans dislike the Spanish game in general. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sleep.gif) Or should I say, this Spanish team with its tiku takay pinga ponga. It's straining to the eyes. Being a fan of the Seleção (barely these days), I know this for a fact. In fact, ask Brazil NT fans and most would want to give Spain a good beating to show them who is boss. This tournament is entirely different however. Brazil wanted Spain in the final to at least make a competitive match between both teams, which let's face it rarely happens. They got their wish, even though in all Spain fixtures in this tournament, Brazil fans in the stadium (and across the country) were booing Spain and their style of play. |
