sometimes I'm kind of a mean person: france v spain live blogging sort of
1. I hate Pedro. WHAT A SHIT. I don't care. I'm increasingly incapable of turning off my dislike of certain players when they're playing for Spain - and I'm fine with it since Alvaro feels the same way. Pedro's a little fuck and basically any time the commentators talk about him I made angry faces and/or hissed. and fuck Busquets too.
2. this whole "no striker" thing depresses me immeasurably now that it means DV isn't starting/playing. also ok: do we sub Torres in ahead of Villa? do we? is that a thing we do now? I'M NOT SO SURE HOW I FEEL ABOUT THIS IN FOOTBALLING TERMS. or life terms. I get there is a feel-good value to letting Torres play in front of his old home crowd but...David Villa.
3. kind of related: do you ever look forward to reading an article about Cristiano Ronaldo and his 100 caps and instead it's all about Leo Messi? despite the title being to the contrary? DO BETTER, JOURNALISTS.
4. just. DOES CESC FABREGAS REALLY BRING SO MUCH TO THE TABLE AS A FALSE/KIND OF REAL NUMBER 9 THAT WE WANT TO FORGO THE TORRES/VILLA STRIKE PARTNERSHIP THAT WON US EURO 2008???????????????
my answer to this question would be: no. no he does not. if Cesc Fabregas came to the table I might leave it, in fact.
5. it's the final ten minutes and if France score I'm going to slap someone in the face. /update this entry. (edit: they did, I did: see points 6 and 7.)
6. WHAT'S THE POINT OF HAVING A MIDFIELD IF THEY DON'T CONTROL POSSESSION THAT'S WHAT I WANT TO KNOW.
7. FOR FUCK'S FUCKING SAKE DEFENDERS SLKFJLSKDJFLJOIWEJR:JEKLJSDLKJLKGJ REALLY???
