It’s not bad as long as Spain doesn’t have a lead. As soon as they do, the way they smother a game with possession and endless, pointless passing is boring (even if incredibly skillfull). If they score early, you’ll be watching a team play keep away for 80 minutes. Their ideal game is they score once and then nothing else of note happens. If you’re cheering for them you won’t mind but it isn’t much fun if you’re watching as a neutral. In my opinion, anyway.

I’ve been watching the game for over 30 years. Still boring. Give me France England or Germany Curaçao.

Yeah, at least they played football, not judo.
“Tiki-taka is boring” is pretty common criticism.

It’s almost like watching Dead Puck era hockey.

Nah, Spain is well known for having a tedious play style.

Nah mate, most people like scoring more than keep away. Lay off the farts.
