Yeh, a 1-0 loss in a game where they were missing Maniche, Forlan and Simao, 3 key players and actually played fairly well is really going to shut them up. They might have been outplayed in midfield, but they made a few decent chances, and in the 2nd half played pretty well, just couldn't get passed Squillaci and the rest of the defence. Sevilla deserved the win, but it's not like they completely outclassed Atletico. Once Forlan and Aguero are back together up front, with Simao whipping balls into them, they'll start playing really well.

Also, stop with the bias. It's more annoying than they ongoing Citeh and Spurs hate.

Simao is over-rated. How many of his passes actually end up with the opposition. Sevilla were playing away from home, so its a big win for them and a big loss for Atletico.

I love watching Barca-Atletico matches cuz any result is a good result. Can't believe four goals already.

Villarreal won again

EDIT: Eto'o scored again. Whats happening? Ehh, lets just all laugh at Atletico then. Clowns.

What a goal from Henry, amazing performance from Barca, but then they're always capable of this, they need consistency.

Guess I need to update my goal checker now. Anyways scoring the sixth goal in a match is no big deal really. You need to score those crucial goals.

Anyways, like I said before any result would be good for me, and to all those who thought Atletico were going to challenge for the title this season, it's clear they are still off the pace. They have lost now to the big teams, Sevilla and Barcelona, and come next gameweek, you can add Real Madrid to that list.

You know what, I think Barcelona thought they were playing Sporting Gijon again. They do have the same red and white stripes.

Messi's run was mesmerising. Maradona-esque.

It's not bias, it's fact. Nobody likes Spurs.

Dirty Basques losing in Seville. Freddy Adu dint score one of the goals because he does not play for Sevilla, but Freddy Kanoute does, and he did score one of the goals.

He can dance, He can dance, and He can score with a dance.

Magnificent Raul Gonzalez!

Cracking game so far. Nene is the biggest "simulator" on the planet.

Have you ever seen a "clearer" hand-ball?

Capel is out with injury and Riera is in. I personally think Capel is more penetrating than the latter, but we have enough quality in other areas to get the results.

Torres also is back with Spain after missing the last game. Both he and Villa are in awesome form for their clubs, so Estonian and Belgian defenders will probably not be getting very good sleep these next few days.

Game is putting me to sleep. Estonia have been marking Villa and Co. like crazy, but it let our defenders (albeit as) grab two goals, lol!

Nowhere near our best, but we really didn't need to.

Why were UAE playing Estonia?

Possibly the worst chant ever? :P

How did Albert and Xabi play? If they got on that is

 

[m_vaughan]

Riera played the last ten minutes or so, but did not do anything worth mentioning. The player he replaced by Iniesta, who was far more effective and threatening. Iniesta combines really well with Xavi.

Alonso also had an OK game, but Senna offers so much more. I am sure in big matches Senna is going to be starting.

Casillas and Reina have now gone 709 minutes without conceding a goal, a new record. Last time Spain let in a goal was in Euro 2008 against Greece. Reina only played that game, and the rest were under the magnificent Iker Casillas!
