Vidal has been immense. They all have, but he stands out in the middle of the park.

Best I've ever seen Sanchez play, Vid quality and Medel at the back rock solid as well. Chile are cracking to watch, press everywhere for 90 minutes.

It remains to be seen if they can keep it up though. So many games in so little time in this heat will take its toll on even the fittest of men.

Spain
Wouldn't shed any tears, they have an entire squad in waiting that's still better than most at this WC

And they both coincide with the lessening appearances and subsequent retirement of Carles Puyol! An absolute warrior and leader for club and country, neither of whom have replaced him!

Robbens body language makes me cringe. Looks a bit camp.

A definite factor, along with the incorrect decision to play Costa and alter the entire teams tactics to suit and also playing Casillas when he's been playing cup games only for 2 seasons.
The other Madrid players also looked dead on their feet, Alonso in particular woeful.

Bet Costa said he would only convert to Spain if they definitely played him. Absolute cunt of a decision

The ironic thing is, Costa would be perfect for Brazil as it stands because Fred is shite (in relative terms) and Jo is worse.

And the fact that Brazil play a style which suits a big target man to hold up the ball. Spain don't play with a striker at all Of all the players they brought, Cesc should have played that CF/10 role.
