" Arsenal, for example, finish fourth in England's Premier League every year and have no chance of winning the Champions League, ever, but were placed in Pot 1 this year."

Gotta love Deadspin. They keep it 100.

Every club that continues to start Iker Casillas just because of his prior achievements and his "Saint Iker" persona needs to regroup - take a hard look in the mirror, and slap themselves in the face.

That's Del Bosque and Ancelotti.

Imagine if Spain loses this match

del Bosque's La Roja side pretty much looks like his poor Madrid teams. Lethargic, not organization, & a lack of urgency. There is no frenetic movement, overlapping, & passing triangles that make tiki taka so successful. Everything is so slow. Spain is allowing the defense to set up & build. del Bosque also needed to infuse his team with younger players also.

Now start replicating that for your club please Andros. Cheers.

Same thing I was saying in regards to the use of younger talent...they are nowhere as dominant as they used to be. The tiki taka looks sloppier as well. You would figure after the summer they would be hungry for wins.

Wow... that was skillful by Roooo... 

Or not... deflection... OG...

I hate to say it, but it looks like these old heads could care less & I'm including my beloved Barca players. I've only been able to watch from the 60 min mark & on while working, but I don't think I've seen on triangle that makes tiki taka so successful. The Spanish players looked like they ate some personal pizzas & a bowl of pasta before the game... The lethargy is just sad to see...

Yo Chenny... You Nigerian?

*Switches to the ESP game...*

Skillful equalizer...
