I thought I saw Pernia tracking back and would have gotten the ball with ease. Ah well I would have to agree with you on the Spanish team's complacency. Maybe because they strolled through the group, they've got this air of over-confidence and therefore led to their ultimate downfall.<BR/><BR/>Anyway thanks for the link, I'll have a look later and actually I'm not surprised that players actually learn to dive and fake injuries. Chelsea seemed to be the school of excellence :DDROGBALLShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10364289200405221590noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24714844.post-1151487149316342162006-06-28T17:32:00.000+08:002006-06-28T17:32:00.000+08:00I kind of lost some respect for Henry I thought he...I kind of lost some respect for Henry I thought he got hit on the chest.I have'nt seen alot of replays of the incident,but the ones I did did'nt show him taking an elbow to the face.I do agree that the subs and formation changes did cost Spain the game.They played not to lose instead of trying to win,very dissapointing.I guess I underestimated the French.It seems that Spain winning their group actually hurt them,Ukraine got the Swiss and Spain got France,go figure :/<BR/><BR/>BTW I found this video and found it kinda disturbing that a team would actually practice taking dives.Very sad when you have to resort to this to help you win a game. http://gprime.net/video.php/soccerpractice<BR/><BR/>peaceAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
