Super team performance too Unfortunately Iniesta maybe is in for another injury set back

For me, the mistake was done by replacing Busquets with Torres. I think he should replace Villa instead. The team did well by creating a many chances and openings, but Villa was ineffective, so Torres should be given the baton to lead attack. VDB should not change the whole system from 4-5-1 to 4-2-2. The later formation just forced Xavi to play deeper, and thus reduce his chance to play killer balls more often.
Was last night game the first time you watched Spain? How can you accuse him of poor form by last night performance?

Yeah. The Xabi-Busi-Xavi midfield is actually a bad choice. Either Iniesta or Cesc should take 1 of the places instead, while Xabi and Busi fight for the DM position depending on the opposition (against the Swiss, Xabi would be better option, as their striker are not good at closing down). But we can't blame VDB for this can we? Xabi-Busi-Xavi is the midfield system that he used during most of the qualifying campaign, and what a campaign it was.

Iniesta/Cesc-Busi/Xabi/Martinez-Xavi/Xabi

Both Pique and Puyol always did that kind of mistake while playing with Barcelona, but Valdes always came to Barca's rescue. So you can't expect them to play any better with Spain    Barca have exactly the same kind of problem.

For the 4-4-2 system during Euro2008, I think the system only served us in the group stage, against Russia and Sweden, and I was not particularly impressed with the team performance against Sweden. And against Italy in QF, the 4-4-2 system scored a blank. If Spain want to continue playing Xabi and Iniesta, 4-3-3/4-5-1 is the system to be employed.

nice win and Spain become a Spain again, there is a lot thing to improve before Chile game, Navas cross always useless, i think it would be better if Cesc start in 1st 11 instead Navas, Cesc can provide more pace and we can use Ramos to do cross job, both front pair waste so many change especially Torres, he seem still cant find his form after the injury

kick that pedro out... now when torres can have a goal...

Happy that Pedro did well for Spain, though I still don't get it, why on a WC semifinal match VDB opted for Pedro rather than a much more experienced Silva? Did he see something during training? I am so sure nobody could fathom such daring move from him before the match. But he is right there

pedro should be seriously "lectured" for his very selfish act, that was totally unacceptable..i think not selecting him for the finals will be a great lesson

Let's not get this personal.It's undeniable that Pedro is kinda selfish.Overdribbling at times.Anyway, would love to see Llorente above Pedro or Torres.

stop trying to be smart, i didnt mention torres in my post..pedro performances was great, i wont deny it. but a single mistake like this can be deathly, he was lucky germans couldnt score an equaliser, i bet many fans will start calling for his blood if they do. look at green, a single mistake and everybody condemn him..was pedro any better?

i will support Catalan for sure, they able to qualify to the World Cup with current team

as i remember this players already play for Catalan
Victor Valdes
Joan Capdevila
Gerard Pique
Carles Puyol
Sergio Busquets
Xavi Hernandez
Bojan Krkic

what time will adidas start selling the new spain kit with the one star? want to order one 

yeah, separate Spain and Catalonia is a bad idea, to be world champion we need both tikitaka and San Iker`s golden hand, forget my siggy for a while, he deserve to be man of the match especially when he save one to one ball

all the player and staff deserve to get Don title lol (Malaysia style)
