Man, a Xavi & Iniesta-less Spain side is such a sad Spain side.
They've really been reduced to a side with, aside from Busi jazzing up the place somewhat, some good - or even great - but not fantastic players mingled with a couple of thugs and some players who excel in their club teams, but doesn't really look at home with La Roja. Perhaps they just need time to merge the rest of the golden generation with the new boys, but I doubt it'll be a smooth transition.
...and don't even get me started about The Don deciding to call it quits somewhere down the line.

Spain had no shots on target. VdB should had quit, I think they need fresh ideas.

I saw a lot of spaniards praising Koke last night, saying that he proved that he can replace Xavi and I asked myself if I was watching the same game. :icon_neutral:
Yep..with players like Cesc, Koke, Raul Garcia and Diego Costa you ask yourself if it wouldn't be better for Spain to play like Atletico from now on.

Either that or VDB needs to somehow reinvent himself... and I can't really see that happening.
Koke didn't impress me much either. Sure, he had loads of possession and touches, but so did Song at times for us last season. It's another thing entirely to orchestrate the team in a productive way like prime Xavi did. A like for like trade with Xavi involved would end up a downgrade no matter who you replaced him with.
I doubt VDB could light even half the fire in their bellies that Simeone is capable of.

If he does well at Porto then he's perfect since he's worked with all the incoming youth stars.
