  1. @WilliamAbbs Nice work on Spain, WIlliam. Glad you've cited the factors in regards to their possible downfall. Covered everything superbly.
  2. @AdamThornton I don't think we'll see a 'major' tactical shift for Spain until the transition between post-Euros and WC, though.
  3. @AdamThornton Nice piece on Spain. You pretty much refer to the setup I'd like to see. Every game that goes by comparisons with Barça grow.
  4. @jquixano Great work for The Guardian website on Spain, Jordi. Really enjoyed reading.
  5. @thomas_skeen Best thing that could happen is that Dortmund do well in Europe. Would make a few people understand their ability.
  6. @thomas_skeen Quality of football is of a top standard. Technical, also physical. Probably the best on a whole really.
  7. @thomas_skeen He's phenomenal. Up with there with rest of German talents everyone knows now. Class act who will flourish at Dortmund.
  8. @thomas_skeen Follow several German football followers, so will make sure to update you on things. Will watch myself too.
  9. @thomas_skeen I think with his natural ability, coupled with polishing in Germany, it could be the real making of him.
  10. @thomas_skeen Ah, right. He's made a gutsy call. Could've settled for easy life in England. Like I say, they'll mould him like Reus.
  11. @thomas_skeen Yeah, that's understandable. I get pissed when a young kid leaves Spain - though that doesn't happen too often.
  12. @thomas_skeen He'll learn so much in Germany. A brilliant environment for any young player to develop in.
  13. @thomas_skeen No, pretty modest really. Scout well, buy cheap and work at lower end of market. Sell on later. Well run club too
  14. @thomas_skeen Indeed. They moulded Marco Reus into one of the most exciting attacking midfielders in Europe too. Lad will get an education.
  15. @thomas_skeen Why?
  16. FT, Spain beat China 1-0. Dreadful performance with few glimpses of quality. When they were shown, it was through Silva and Iniesta.
  17. Spain finally score in the 84th minute. Iniesta's outstanding run, Silva's tap-in. The best two players tonight, by some distance.
  18. Real Valladolid vs. Córdoba; level of football those two teams are capable of playing is of a very high level. Djukic vs. Jémez it is. Epic.
  19. Real Valladolid vs. Córdoba and Alcorcón vs. Hércules will make up the play-offs. Pressure in those games will be immense.
  20. Ask any Celta fan and they will tell you never mind 5 years - it has felt like 55. Paco Herrera's work has been magnificent.
