Are Spain boring ?

Is it me or does anybody else find Spain increasingly boring to watch, hasn't always been like that but towards end of last World Cup and certainly this Euro tournament it's all too boring.
Personally think they are on a different planet player wise & supremely talented but its almost a case there too good and its becoming counter productive, they want to keep possession so much its counter productive to scoring goals. Any team with that much possession should be scoring 2/3 goals, like that used too, but now countries are countering it with sitting deep and are prepared to allow them onto them and closing the game up and prepared to hit them on the break and that's why
Spain are getting fewer clear cut chances.
There aren't many Spanish goals scored from outside the area in the last few years nearly all are 'walked in' or within the box and thats why Torres is a waste he's a on the shoulder of the last defender running at goal striker and that;s not how Spain play hence how they used 3 subs last night and he wasn't one of them there missing David Villa big time hence why the play the 'phantom number 9'.

Don't get me wrong they are rightly best team of the planet and possibly best footballing team ever better than the Holland 'total football' era but it can be sooo boring to watch.

My prediction of a Spain v Germany Final is on and it will be the biggest test the Spanish have faced for the last 3 tournaments could go either way.

Would you feel like that about this style of football if your own team were capable of playing like that ??

I thought the match last night was brilliant. They are much better to watch, however, with Torres playing up front. It gives them an "end" to all their passing movements.

At our level of the English system (level 7) your lucky to get 3/4 passes together before some 6ft built like a brick sh*t house clogger decides he's had enough and launches the one player you have that makes paying the £10 admission fee worth while !

ah the beauties of the English game and we wonder why were no good !

Try being Irish!

I loved last nights game, I could watch Torres, Xavi, Fabregas and Ronaldo all night. The football was good too.

I don't think they play an exciting game, but very few European teams do. Trouble is they can't afford injury, bookings etc and Ref's are not that good really.
