Not sure Blanc's decision made much difference, even if it wasn't a good call.
France have been so pathetically timid throughout that they were never likely to threaten Spain very much.
France are so lacking in aggression and incisiveness that they aren't going to trouble any decent defence.
Xavi, Iniesta, Silva and co are great on the ball, but you can easily notice how even these super players were uncomforable whenever coming close to the final third because they had no movement around them, and no off the ball movement or options to pass to (other than the fullbacks
). The least you can do, is try and trouble them. But Blanc was a pussy!---------- Post added 24.06.2012 at 22:02 ----------
Thats a good balanced team the English are playing. Definitely lacking in imagination or individual ability. But full of hard workers, players that will cover a lot of ground and that are disciplined tactically. This will not be a walk in the park for the Italians. That being said, there is no doubt that the Italians have the better, more technical individuals, so its their game to lose really.
Going to entertain myself with a nice comedy show of pre-match with english commentators.
