Not even Fergie Time saved this Spanish team, but still, getting awarded 6 minutes was just ridiculous.

The only good news for Spain is that none of these players are gonna be in the next World Cup (or even the Euros) anyway. Casillas, Xabi, Ramos, Xavi, Iniesta, Pique, Busquets, Villa, Torres, Cazorla, Pedro, Costa, almost everyone's a goner.

Don't want to scare you, but Biscuits is very young and his game isn't super reliant on his physicality.

He won't be a starter again. IMO he is a very, very limited player who only worked for that particular system with Xavi and Iniesta. He was terrible this year and will be dropped from Barcelona, and from Spain.

They needed to win this game and started with two defensive midfielders. Good riddance.

Nothing wrong with that necessarily. A bigger mistake was starting a proper shite striker.

Busquets is actually pretty tidy and would be just fine as a lone DM in a revamped Spain side. The issue yesterday was him and Alonso being out there. Alonso was bad and old.

Alonso hasn't been that great for Madrid in La Liga the last months or so but yesterday was just shocking, I wanted to euthanize the poor guy. And Casillas...lmao

Casillas is completely done at the top level. I don't know if it's his head or his body that has gone but it's like watching Torres De Gea needs the #1 slot now and forever

I've always disliked Casillas big time - he's got one of the most punchable faces in modern football - so his massive decline is quite welcome, I'd say.

Casillas was benched in La Liga at club level, had a massive blunder in the CL-final and a really poor game against Netherlands. Why play him against Chile? The losses were a team effort, but Casillas sure made that extra push to make it happen.

Does spain have young ball winning midfielders not on doping? I am talking someone who could win a 50-50 against your average african male who plays a midfield role in a random european club side.

Spain should have tried to integrate some of their insanely talented youth this world cup rather than rely on players so clearly out of form or past it.

Name and past credit.The gamble was calling the current generation to play.Del Bosque thought these guys were able to classify and play the tournament , but they were old and slow for the past years and in the Netherlands game the bottom fell off.He miscalculated and these two games happened. The team was done for the type of system they were trying to run. Slaapaav posted:Does spain have young ball winning midfielders not on doping?

Lamadrid posted:Iniesta always arrives to end of season in a terrible state.He's 30 now and he's not going to be able to hold up the next two years. He's your best player by a mile, and still was at this tournament in spite of the generally poor performance. He was the only one that looked bothered. I understand wanting a clear out and moving on, but Spain dropping Iniesta is like Portugal dropping Ronaldo levels of crazy talk imo

Commentators did mention that only 2 of the players were over 30 in the team that played last night. The team isn't so old that you'd normally expect such a sudden drop in form

Real Madrid won the titles in which Casillas played at goalkeeper, and he played really well in both tournaments, CL final nonwithstanding. Reina is bad, De Gea didn't have an amazing season or anything, and Valdes is injured. Even if Valdes had been selected as goalkeeper, Casillas would have ended up playing anyway. Having said that, three consecutive important games in which you gently caress up is incredible, Arsenal-GK level of badness.

Off course.He's great but he simply cannot shoulder the entire team.He's going to get run to the ground in Barcelona.He won't we able to play more than 50-60 min a game .He needs to be a super sub or something.

By the time he gets to the next tournament, he'll be 32. He should still be on the team, but you can't expect him to be a focal point of the team anymore.

De Gea was outstanding this season (yet again) and managed to look good on a team that was nothing but shitheads playing below their level. He is easily good enough to play for a World Cup favourite as he is now, and he'll only get better.

The wheels came off in such an spectacular fashion I am wishing Puerto starts working for them again.

At first I thought it was hilarious how they never took a shot on goal, then it got infuriating, and in the 95th minute when they still decided they should backpass 8 times, I felt sad.

De Gea was bad in the first half of his first season and has made a couple mistakes since that has had everyone howling about how terrible he is, but he has been consistently excellent for two full seasons now and I think most United fans hope we can keep him for 10+ years.
