Next should be Fabregas for Xavi and Mata/Cazorla for Pedro.

Spain needs young blood badly. Tiki taka is not just about passing it's about movement, pressing and passing. Old fellas don't move or press, so...

Del Bosque didn't create tiki taka. Aragonés+Guardiola did.

Either way, that will be tough for Brazil.

Yup. I don't have much faith in Brazil but I'm expecting a lot of home cooking going forward.

I just can't believe Spain has already allowed 7 goals and have only scored 1. And that 1 goal was a PK.

Adios Espana.

Diego Costa you don't have to touch the ball seven times before you shoot

What a pass from Iniesta. Costa should have taken the shot right off the touch.

Xavi's already on the bench, but Fabregas/Mata could be useful right now.

Why do people hate on tiki taka? It's produced one of the most dominant stretches of international football ever.

I hate it because it made games boring in recent years and that people give useless possession way too much credit now.

"ZOMG we shoulda won we had the ball 65% of the game , we dominated!!!!" then you look at numbers and they had little shots , chances created and any positive possession of note.

Busquets with a Torres level miss after that scissor kick pass.
