Paul Scholes on Mikel Oyarzabal delivering 21 G/A in his last 13 games for Spain:
️ “The funny thing about Oyarzabal is that people keep talking about other stars, yet he just keeps producing numbers that most forwards would dream of.”
“Fourteen goals and seven assists in thirteen games is ridiculous. If a bigger-name player was putting up those numbers, we'd be hearing about it every single day.”
“He's one of the most underrated attackers in world football. No drama, no headlines, no social media circus — just goals, assists, and top performances whenever Spain need him.”
“The only game without a goal contribution was against Cape Verde, and then he immediately came back and started delivering again. That's what top players do.”
“What I love is his consistency. He's not a player who disappears for weeks and then scores a hat-trick. He impacts games constantly.”
“Everyone talks about Spain's young stars, but Oyarzabal is quietly becoming the player opponents fear the most. Every time he gets near the box, something happens.”
“At some point, we need to stop calling him underrated. When you're producing 21 goal contributions in 13 games, you're not underrated anymore you're simply one of the most effective players in international football.”
“And if he keeps this up throughout the World Cup, people won't be asking why he's underrated. They'll be asking why they didn't appreciate him sooner.”
Oyarzabal has always been class.
Underrated because he’s been loyal to Sociedad and never gone for a big move. Had plenty chances.

Honestly mate don’t get me started. Chucked -3 handicap, Cucarella 1+ shot and Buena 3+ shots on at 1-0. 3/1 as Cucu was good odds for the shots. Think they had 20 shots in the first 60 minutes and 2 in the final 30. Then had a builder on Belgium, all came in bar the result.
Couldn’t pick my own nose at the minute
Have to totally agree with you in regards to the refereeing. No more is a touch on the back and they go down classed as a free kick. I've watched some players and they've stayed still hoping the referee will blow but after realising that no whistle was forthcoming got up and ran after the play. Linesmen are actually putting their flags up for offside as well without being told by VAR. It's like watching a proper game of football for a change!
100% mate. Games have flowed so much better it’s been really good in that regard.
Time wasting has basically disappeared too.
He also would’ve said he was the last defender so knew for certain!!Trump would've intervened and said it was definitely offside, as offside as possible, in fact no goal has ever been more offside
We all know it won’t be filtered to our league. The big boys won’t want it so it won’t happen!
It’s been so refreshing to see though. AIDS fast breaks as well so it’s been a. Real positive for me.
Favour the moving ball can only be good for the game.

Well Marcus, according to this article, VAR at the world cup is roughly the same as in the premier league
World Cup 2026: Is VAR being used differently to the Premier League?
The stats show that there have been more VAR reviews at the World Cup than in the Premier League. So why does perception suggest the opposite?
