Lets see how long this thread will last seeing that many are predicting Spain to drop out of the World Cup after one poor performance.
 
Maybe if they left the ineffective Xavi on the bench and opted for Fabregas, they will pull through ;)
 
Fabregas isnt good enough to make the starting 11.

I guess he is getting used to warming the bench because if he does move to Barcelona this season, he will be warming it pretty often :D
 
Messi is just as ineffective without the Spanish players... hey I wonder why Maradona doesn't make his team play around messi... like Barca... then Argentina will definately win :)
 
Please dude messi has shown what a world class player he is in both games.

Messi does not need barcelona to play well, barcelona needs messi to do anything though.
 
Here we go again.

Xavi is more important to Barcelona than Messi.

Messi will be the first to admit it.
 
What is the big yawn?

Is it Cantera going on about Barcelona FC or should I believe wikianswers?

It is an ancient art which is used to relieve stress.

First formed in 1233 in libia by a man named John Houston who found that with good practice and the right excercise it was possible to yawn for up to 26 hours and after this amount of time the person doing so would reach a kind of 'climax', where all their stresses were relieved. Said to be 10 times stronger than the average female orgasm, people have been seeking to reproduce this feeling ever sicne then and only 45 people in this time have managed to reach this climax and produce THE BIG YAWN.

Who's talking about Barca? I'm talking about Spain and Argentina, if Maradona emulate the playing style of Barca with Messi in the team they should reach the World Cup final's, where as Spain without the creative talent of Messi struggled to break down a stubborn Switzerland defence.

Cantera do you think Bosque should drop Busquets to the bench?

Also i want to ask you why isn't Torres starting? Maybe he can have Xabi and Xavi in midfield with Iniesta and Silva on the wings. Then maybe Torres + Villa?
 
Torres has been injured, i think del bosque thought they would walk all over the swiss so he never risked him. I wonder if he will start against Honduras? Cannot see why spain won't destroy them with or without torres.

How is xavi more important than a 40 goal player i wonder? If barcelona could cope without messi they would not have been destroyed 3-1 when they went to inter. They also would have ripped apart a 10 man inter team. All inter did was mark messi out the game and barcelona had no other ideas. The manager of espanyol said they would also win the league if they had messi :D.

Try looking at the entire game instead of one player, it is hard not to give all the cresit to Messi because he is really that amazing but even he would be the first to say that Iniesta and Xavi are out of this world.

If you watch Barcelona play, you will notice every single Barcelona attack comes through Xavi. He is the heartbeat of the side. All those quality balls that Messi gets, where do you think it comes from?

Barcelona beat Inter Milan 2 - 0 in the group stages, that was WITHOUT Messi. So to say Barcelona are a one man team will be very harsh and incorrect.

Torres has been injured since the last few games of the season. I think we might see him start with Villa tomorrow night.

I dont think Busquets should be dropped, because Alonso cannot play the Busquets role, he is not as effective as a defensive midfielder.

I would drop Silva and start Navas, also I would give Cesc some game time, I would drop Alonso to the bench to make way for Cesc.
 
Seems to me like these big teams are all counting on their Techincal superiority to beat the Underdogs... whilst the underdogs are playing with heart and determination and pace...
 
Spain should walk away with the game today. Hope they don't the irritating gits, but they probably will...
 
After a long term injury, Torres takes a few games to get back to his best. So it is a risk playing him when Spain need to win.
Xavi and Iniesta are masters but they dont score enough goals. Spain are relying on Villa.
Similar to England and Rooney. If Rooney is atrocious, where are the goals going to come from, Heskey.
