BBZ loading up the 'Costa Rica are shit and everyone is over rating Spain' essay.

After wouldnt predict the game and made a point of saying CR knocked out England in 2014.

Cant beat Spanish quality football. A villa and a pique or ramos and they'd be favourites. Still don't need great defenders to win international tournaments just need to defend well

Pedri is almost playing box to box here and dropping to help Busquets.... well as box to box as can be when CR cant get out their half.

Rarely given that sort of freedom for Barca.

I think Xavi doesn't realise that Busquets needs help (considering what he is saying in interviews). Lucho does.

The level of international football (Costa Rica) is different to what Barca comes up versus in CL KOs these last few years. Busquets is mostly fine until he reaches those games and gets exposed badly (since 2017).

Quite clever from Spain vs this 442.

When a striker drops to cover Busi then Rodri is stepping up to give another option in midfield.

When no striker drops there is acres of space for Busi as they cant put a mid on him as leaves Gavi/Pedri 2 v 1.

CR have no idea how to cover middle of park.
