Spain

[FinBarcelonafan]

Another lucky win for Spain.

Santi Denia is a Temu De La Fuente.

And Mateo Joseph is the next Morata.

Spain was good. It should have never been that close.

Just realized there is an U21 Championship going on right now... thank god they did not decide to take Lamine, Cubarsi, etc just to be sure that they would win it (if that was possible at all, not sure what the 1000 rules are in these competitions)...

Btw, how does it work for Samu from Porto for example, as I know he was part of the team in the qualifications... does Porto has the last say now that they are in the Club World Cup competition while the U21 Championship is at the same time, or the player has to decide?

 

[Messi983]

Clubs always decide, they are the ones paying players wages after all.

Unless it's Barca players playing for Spain.

 

[Porque]

Player can decide, like Fermin. Spanish clubs not really as they count it as National Service.

Foreign clubs, not sure but presumably more rights.

 

[Messi983]

Five of our boys starting for the U19 against Montenegro.

 

[Porque]

Cuenca has been drinking his milk and eating his vitamins. Lad has shot up.

Now if he can find some speed...

Since most of the important players in the Spain national team are from Barca and Barca is not playing in this tournament, do wonder how much impact it will have on the national team to not have experienced playing in the summer in the States.

Factors like long travels, time difference adjustment, humidity, weather all plays a part.

Not to mention the potential of a crap field over turfs

 

[Messi983]

2-0 England after 15 minutes, that's Spain without Barca players.

 

[Andresito]

There were some recent rumours about Mosquera from Valencia, he any good?

 

[Messi983]

Santi Denia = De La Fuente but without Barca players to save his ass

 

[Porque]

They both need Lamine.

 

[Jenks]

Why do Spanish youth teams always sperg out when they lose?

 

[Messi983]

Santi Denia = De La Fuente but without Barca players to save his ass

And he's going to Qatar. Good riddance.

Raul reportedly considered to replace him.

 

[Messi983]

Pablo Garcia just scored an Olympic goal, wow.

 

[Messi983]

Kim and Virgil coming on with 10 minutes left, ofc when things go to hell coaches will depend on Barca players, nothing new.
