Look, I know what you did there, but you're not really getting your point through going down the same lane, right?

I mean, it is rather pointless and, as you said yourself, childish.

And I think we all may agree that, despite of not having a great game, the kid still has plenty of potential and may easily become something good in the future.

I don't think all 3 of us misred what u wrote or got the wrong sense ... dunno if the egyptian sun hit your head but u don't think clearly here holding to one part of the game while the thread is Oriol overal ...

Was completely overrun in the final in the under 19 championship by France in the second half

No actually all 3 of you decide to neglect the post and indulge in repeating " he is good , he is good , he is good " as if it will take away your insecurities .
you say he is a physical beast , than you say he was overrun by France cause they are physical ..
i see this as contradiction you probably see it as something else .

With regards to the sun.. it's good for your blood circulation to reach your brains.. can't say the same about the cold weather or lack of sunshine which clearly affected some members here

Save yourself from petty insults, you're surely better than that.

Additionally, I told you that the whole Spanish team was overrun then, not just Romeu and the CB's, to which you did not respond at all. Guess this works both ways, eh?

I blame the defensive half of Spain more than anything phil , the inability to build an attack or stop an attack
it's not an insult unless it applies to you , maybe you should give it another thought especially that it's you guys who read a lot into the clear /direct post

I never said he's a physical beast, I merely pointed out that he has some physicality, which is rare in Barça type of DM's and merely pointed that out. Stop shoving words into my mouth. Besides, a player being physical and others being even more physical never negate each other as notions, do they? Or are there only single types of physicality and strength instead of different levels of the two aforementioned?

Sure, Montoya and Dalmau weren't at their best, nor was the whole defense, but as you well know it works both ways. French were just too good and Spain wasn't on top of its game, which affected the result the way it did. It's silly stating the obvious, really.

Not wishing to join this argument but just wondering, does anyone have a list of the Spanish squad that participated in this tournament and which clubs they represent? Thanks in advance.
