This is going to be 4 or 5-0 if the Spaniards remain interested. Although judging by the rolling around going on, they may be more interested in maximising the number of red cards the opposition will get. They are such gifted players, why do they feel the need for all the play acting

Not remotely the only ones to do it, it seems to be a Latin thing. They also do the northern European stuff as well, occasionally .

Anyhow, odd/scary-ish how a bunch of perennial losers can switch to being overlords. Watched the U-21s last night & saw the potential for long term domination.

I enjoyed watching Spain pass the ball around last night. Best team ever? Certainly the best I've seen.

Their bench included Valdes, Martinez, Cazorla, Silva, Navas, Villa and Mata. Quite ridiculous.

Don't forget Nacho man!

With the bench you could have a decent 2nd team, bar missing a centre back.

[Goonowski]

Doh. Yes, Nacho Nacho Monreal was on the bench too.

I'd wager that Spain's 2nd team and U-21's would give most teams a game.

What about their manager?

A team of amateurs with a professional striker?

TBF to Tahiti, at least they had a go and committed a few men forward rather than doing a San Marino-esque 'park the bus'. I was when they scored. I think Spain will 'pass them to death', it could be a 90%/10% possession split.

[GALLARDOGUY]

Could be a good one tonight.

Big rivalry between the 2 teams.
