Me too, although I'm not entirely sure it's for the same reason!

This was really only the first really dull match of the tournament. I can't understand the excitement about Spain (and Barcelona), really. Watching Spain ping the ball around with 57 consecutive short passes is about as exciting to me as Germany - Austria 1982 was. As Arsene Wenger so rightly put it: "It's sterile domination".

EC 2008-winning Spain were brilliant. WC 2010+ Spain are soporific.
