    Could do with a goalscorer. Morata being Morata.

          Nah - it's easy - scoring all of 'em is hard.

                Definitely.

                Those top toe forwards pens are ridiculous.

                  I definitely thought that until today.

                  At least one of the Japan ones was an outstanding save.

                  These were all terrible.

                      Portugal must think they've got a decent chance of making the semis without him, protecting him for the France game

                        Eh? WTF did Morata do? I absolutely hate the guy for his years of wetting his pants for us when under pressure, but he wasn't the reason we lost that game.

                        Unfortunately there's just no new version of Villa/Torres/Raul/Morientes... at the moment. It's the one glaring weakness of this Spanish side.

                        Don't think it was arrogance either. Hard to play against a team that's basically doing nothing but hack down your players and defend with 10 men behind the ball. We've suffered the same fate many times in the league. That bug-eyed cunt of a ref let them get away with murder in that first half and whistled us every time we breathed on them. Set the tone of the game. You could see us getting more and more frustrated at not being allowed to play football. Surprised Rodri or Busquets didn't scythe down one of the cunts in two.

                        Pens were embarrassing. Hakimi can **** off the little turncoat rat.

                        Enrique picked way too many Barca boys. No idea what Fati has done to get picked. Offered absolutely nothing when he came on.

                          I think teams have finally worked out they're better when he doesn't play.

                          His head would be ready to explode realising Messi's having a stormer of a cup and he's been relegated to the bench.

                              The Japan ones weren't anything to write home about - you could see Minamino was going to miss his from the first second

                                His ego is an attention vacuum.

                                His inability to celebrate with his team mates after a 6-1 win when he played a minor part tells you everything you need to know about how he operates within the squad.

                                The manager should send him home. They've got a tidy squad - he makes them worse.
