Vidal is one to watch Chile V Spain, he is a beast.
 
Even a draw would mean Spain would have to overcome a 6 goal spread. Realistically if they fail to win they are eliminated
 
Wow exquisite goal.


Wenger is somewhere commentating on Spain's needed "Mental Strengs" to come back right now.
 
Spain have been figured out. Rely too much on aging Real and Barca players and not trying anything new and rewarding more deserving players with caps. Their success has made them cocky and it has become their undoing
 
I don't think Spain have been 'found out'.

- Puyol has retired and Xavi seems to be waining - Perhaps their two most influential players.

- That and the fact Villa and Torres are both passed it which means they now have absolutely no pace in the side.




... I would just like to point out I predicted neither Spain or Brazil would win this World Cup.

For me its Germany or Argentina.
 
Also, I think the midfielders they picked for the squad were way too similar. No options for a plan B. I was shocked when I saw that Jesus Navas wasn't selected for example, while they had like 4-5 'clone' midfielders in there.
