Spain were never looking like they were going to win today, and if they had gone through I couldn't see them doing much else. As Ranieri showed against Monaco in the 1st leg, if a manager fucks up he has no one else to blame. The manager can't come out and say "we were unlucky, we had so many chances but were unlucky to put them away" IF they were a good enough team then thats what the manager would be saying, but clealy they are not good enough. I find it hard to believe that had he had the two players you mentioned playing that they would have done any better.

Too true - the manager is just as an important part of the team as the players. France are heavily regarded as the favourites, but if I was managing them, forget it, there's no way they'd stand a hope in hell.
