Cardiff City v Real Betis. Confirmed

Whilst this may be very tongue in cheek, it's not too far from the truth.

Two fancied "good passing" sides in the WC could only manage draws against mediocre sides and the holders got beat.

When the Italians dominated international football and Serie A considered the best league in the world, the model was not to concede, pissing about with it at the back with the opposition retreating to their own half and little penalty box action... luckily along came Spain to show how you can win playing good attacking football.

God help us all if those days return!

The Warnock way will do nicely

Partly younger cheek , but we are seeing sides with the higher possession , my humble opinion is its down to the fact clubs will never compete against the great passing sides, and have come up with alternative methods .

Ticky tack football in your own half is now manageable, once they cross the halfway line , it changes,and your up and at them, putting them on the back foot and disrupting their walkabout passing momentum they employ , we must deploy this tactic with venom next year, to stay up.

Why would a friendly against an average la liga team be on TV?
