Analysis of World Cup Final Performance
In one of the worst World Cup finals we have ever seen,
Spain, in the end, deservedly get the victory and defeat Argentina. It was Ferran
Torres' well taken goal that proved to be the difference between the two sides.
Look at that right hand column.
Two shots from Argentina,
none in regular time.
Both of those came in extra time.
Enzo Fernandez sent off
Spain with the victory as they lift the title and get a second star on their shirt.
We're supposed to be objective on this show, but I don't think anyone,
unless you're an Argentina supporter,
will be more pleased than what we saw Spain lift in the World Cup, because,
goodness me, that was embarrassing from the defending champions, wasn't it?
I'd go as far as to say Argentina were a complete and utter disgrace today,
both with their performance and their antics. We expected the antics.
We expected the thuggery.
We expected the off the ball stuff.
But we also expected a lot more on the ball,
a lot more purpose, a lot more about their play. They were an utter shambles.
They were disgusting, disgraceful.
And, yeah, I mean, I'm so pleased Spain won.
And I could just see a scenario at the end there, but before Spain scored,
it was going to go to penalties,
or they were going to get a scruffy goal, Argentina, and win this.
And Spain tried.
They tried to make it a good game. They tried to get over the line.
Their finishing wasn't quite great.
Martinez made a lot of saves, but they were comfortable saves.
But we know Argentina are not the greatest side they've ever been.
But to put that kind of performance in a World Cup final,
that negative,
it was a disgusting performance.
We were talking before the game that the final of the World Cup
was the biggest game ever.
And we have been presented, we saw that game. And, in fact...
It was a bad image of football.
It was everything that's bad with the game.
Yeah, exactly We should the worst of the worst.
Well, they showed the worst of the worst Congratulations to Spain and
there is nothing to say about Spain because they tried but it's impossible to play
and I have to include the Referee at some point,
you know paradise came on half time after 15 minutes He should have been
sent off Because he came just to put the mess in the middle of the park and they
don't didn't try to play as Craig said We were ready for that the dirty
part of their their
football But we're expecting something else and we didn't have that.
So it was completely negative and that that's unbearable for me And the
football is different the way of I see the football and I was a defender
It's absolutely different to what I saw today. It was a shame.
It was a bad image of football and I thought the 1990 final
Argentina again
Against Germany was the worst of the worst. No.
No, we found worse this one
Yeah, I I can care with everybody.
I hated the Argentina performance There's this thing where they'll do anything to
get a victory and you know,
they'll try tricks and the dark arts,
etc except we've heard and heard and heard it but
It's a really bad image for them, isn't it?
You know, it's really it doesn't look good.
It doesn't look great You're talking about the you know,
arguably the greatest player in the world Yet his teammates act
as if no, they're not interested in football
They just want to do anything else apart from win a football match.
They'll just do it by fair means or foul They'll kick they'll punch they'll drag
they'll dive they'll do
anything I mean we went crazy over paraguay's performance against France.
That was worse That was awful today.
And as you said in the biggest game in the world
the eyes of the nation the eyes of the whole universe looking at this game and
you you're Subjected
to that where as you said if you're a neutral all you're praying for us,
you know what I hope Spain score Yeah I hope I hope Spain score
and then let's let's finish this game and get over with and then after the ends of
the game We're all sitting there going Dwi n meddwl y byddai Argentina yn cael
chaos ar ôl y chwarae.
Dwi n meddwl y byddai nhw n mynd i r ffwrdd a u hyrwyddo a u chwarae.
Ac wrth gwrs, mae hynny n digwydd hefyd ar ôl camera.
Dwi n glir bod y canlyniadau wedi mynd.
Argentina oedd yn anhygoel, anhygoel.
Dwi n meddwl bod eu perfformiadau heddiw yn anhygoel.
Ac maen nhw n gobeithio r Llanbastair ar gyfer hynny. Yn Argentina,
maen nhw n gobeithio eu bod nhw n mynd i r ffwrdd fel hyrwyddo, fel hyrwyddo, etc.
Ond nid yw r tip o berfformiad hynny n dod o r tîm fel hynny.
Dwi n meddwl y byddai New York neu New Jersey yn y cyfnod hon.
New York, New Jersey. New York, New Jersey. New Jersey, New York. Ie.
