For Enrique players like Thiago and De Gea were not even good enough to make the squad list, whilst Unai Simon and Gavi have undisputed starter roles.

Arrogant and unlikeable character who thinks this 'Barca style' of playing is superior to all others.

The Barca way works in league format systems, but it's year after year evident in knockout stages facing solid defence it is just time wasting tiki-taka.

We'll see. Last time we won the league was with some old, but still brilliant players like Messi, Suarez. Also, 32-33 years old, not THAT old by most standards.

And if we win it this time, it won't be because of the Spanish players, but mostly because of Lewandowski, and Dembele.

In a tournament format, good defense and great counters all you need.

Barca can't play defense. That's why they lose miserably.

Spain team is average, if comparing it to the usual big boys but Lucho made many mistakes this world cup.

Balde > Alba
Rodri >>>>>> Busquets, get him the fuck outta there. How are managers in 2022 playing Busquets for 120mins.
Put an actual CB at fucking CB and stop trying to be smart.
Pedri-Gavi midfield isn't going to work imo. Was Thiago not even called up?
Williams should start over Ferran, at least he gives them pace upfront.

The penalty kick list was also horrible, maybe some of the players chickened out is all I can think of.

Bad part for Spain is that this is not some Barca - Chelsea from 2012. The game was basically 50-50 for 120 mins at best for Spain.

Balde thing is not because he's better than Alba it's just miscalculation of when he will be able to play an energetic kid without repercussions. And he got it wrong
Rodri another thing
Llorente at RB another thing
Asensio used as false 9 another but less problematic of them all

He just has these bizarre calls that he gets away with on benefit of doubt through perception of dominating games

Enrique made so many mistakes with the players he called up & selected for the XI this was always gonna happen.
