Cesc criticises England | Sky Sports

Cesc moaning about the way england played at the weekend, if you ask me that just arsene wenger coming out in him, complaining if a side doesnt do everything to make it easy for you to win.

Ill freely admit i thought spain would win on sat but i give props were they are due tactically england were on the money. For all the spanish domination they actually had only a handful of shots at harts goal most were cut out or blocked.

Why should england have lined up in an attacked mannor just to let little cesc have fun and rip them t pieces would he have been happy then.

Even though we play a defensive game, it was still good to watch with all the Spanish attacks, I also though we would have struggled to score, we got a chance and took it. It wasn't the best goal but a goal is a goal and a win is a win. Spain had lots of chances which they didn't convert.

They actually didn't create that many chances to be honest, well cerainly not clear chances anyway.

Spain never got going at all i thought, they pressed but never really went all out to get back into the game was more a training game for them, ( thats how they play there games most of the time not any disrespect to england there )

they bitched about that throughout the entire WC.... "why wont they go punch for punch with us?"..."we want to attack, but they dont want to play attacking football" etc....

its a fucking sport, and in sport there are tactics. im sorry teams dont let you roll them over Spain, im sorry they dont let you beat them at your game.

Exactly right mate, they wanted us to play an attacking game and get beat by 3 or 4 goals.

Doesn't help when England try and brand themselves as a good footballing side though....

This game means nothing and im not saying this because its England but Spain still controlled the game and that's what is always going to happen Spain lacked motivation i think they never really got into 2nd gear they attacked sometimes but never at any real pace..

Bullshit, the teams that finished the game were completely different to the teams that started...it was a "friendly" in every sense of the word.

Italy and Argentina beat them before you did, so technically your not...

We're now the new world champions, as Scotland were when they best us in a friendly after the World Cup in 1966. It's the law.

Typical shitty England, turn up in a pointless friendly that means nothing and win, but when it comes to doing it to win something and really count they never turn up...
