Spain

[jamrock]

They need to figure out the RB situation after Carvajal.

That's where they loss the game today.

Mingueza offered nothing in offense, to help yamal and was just a bad in defense.

Porro wasn't much better against France.

Only hope is mingueza gets better with time, he seems like the type of player that needs a lot of repetition for things to finally click.

Honestly, Eric G is the best RB for now.

 

[DonAK]

Spain are not beating Argentina if they meet in March.

Scaloni vs. DLF is a disgusting mismatch.

 

[jamrock]

Him making Martinez who is a bit of a joke, look decent isn't a good look on him.

But we also shouldn't go overboard, he's done more than enough to show he's a top international coach.

He just needs to make adjustments sooner

[ElMagodel304]

Spain and De la Fuente were not interested to win this tournament obviously. You can't put GordIsco in a game like this, Sit Pedri, Ruiz, Nico, Yamal etc to put Players like Baena, Pino, Morata...this was a joke.

 

[xXKonan]

Zubimendi had a good 45 minutes vs England during the Euros final, and that was it and since then he's been poor.

Not good enough as a DM/DLP option for Spain, especially deputizing for Rodri. Pedri is on a totally different planet levels better than Zubimendi on the ball and dictating from down deep as well.

Just don't see the hype in him.

 

[Skalman]

Spain will be just a Fuente substitute away from losing any match in the World Cup. They will most likely go through the group because the team is too good to not do that. But After that Spain is playing with fire if this continues. What did he save his players for in the match? Does how a game looks matter to De La Fuente when he does his substitutes or what substitutes he does? Or is it just, "everybody should get to play even if its a final, quality doesn't matter"?

 

[jamrock]

Zubimendi wasn't the problem and not the player you would bench to start pedri in this team.

If anything you start both two at pivot.

He's been living on the edge with his changes.

He took off Nico and Lamine in the EURO SF or QF and it almost cost them the game there. Although his sub in the final worked in his favour.

His subs in general seem to follow no logic though.

Yea his subs remind me of valverde, they seem pre-planned before the game and not based what is actually happening in the game

 

[jamrock]

They need to find a RB, just in case carvajal isn't ready for the WC.

Move Ruiz to the "10" he can play there and drop pedri back to play With rodri.

Because at this point you can't not start those 3.

Never Ever play morata.

Start Cubarsi & Dean, fuck experience, infact good all in and start balde.

Simon or Garcia if he goes to Barca and is excellent
Carvajal (if fit) Cubarsi Huijsen Balde
Pedri Rodri
Ruiz
Yamal Oyarzabal Williams

That looks their best starting eleven on paper to me. Whether it will be good in practice, who knows.

 

[xXKonan]

Not to shit on Cucu as I think he's developed into a pretty decent dependable LB but I don't see how he's Spain's undisputed starting LB.

He's not better than the alternatives and it's not like he's some Defensive beast either.

 

[KingLeo10]

World Cup 26 is back on the menu for us Argentinians.

Spain's top level is quite high and so is France's but Argentina as a team don't allow these kind of horror shows that both are prone to every now and then.
