Wow. Even with Costa and Cesc on the pitch, more 1-2 elastic creative movement in 5 minutes with Spain than Barça's entire season.
Damn, I miss the old Barça and pretty team attacks.
Great link up play by Spain.
Why is everyone booing Pique?
The opposition is letting them play like that. Slovakia's been pretty poor.
Thing is they don't succeed in doing so that often anymore. Not against better sides. Or well parked buses. For each game like this one, lately Spain has 5 where they look completely toothless.Not the main reason. The main reason is that Spain *chooses* to play that way, and has the players to execute it. No one holds the ball, the movement is constant, the passes/touches are mostly accurate. There is a trust in team creativity rather than individuals.
