Well the first-half has been terribly poor by Spain.

They look tired and slow, and the only players that have looked lively are Sergio Ramos and Xabi Alonso. The Barcelona boys seem to think this is already done and dusted.
 
Spain are *****. Why do they play a 4-2-2-2? They have no width atall so Villa has to keep coming wide and leave just Torres in the box. Come on Paraguay!
 
Yeah the Spanish players looked tired and kept giving away the ball. Only 4 shots by Spain and none on target :S

Hopefully it'll be a better 2nd half for them.
 
I dont get why he is playing Busquets, WHY?????!!!!!

That man has zero offensive ability.

You answered your own question.

In modern day football you need a certain holding midfielder to keep an eye on the defensive aspects of the game. Especially in a game like this.

When Paraguay's typical nr10 Valdez falls down in the hole between the defence and the midfield Spain need a deeplying midfielder to keep an eye on him. And Busquets is very suited for this role.

You can't just play 10 offensively minded players and hope for the best.
 
Go paraguay! Spain are so overrated it's untrue. To be fair whoever wins will just crash out to the mighty germany
 
They need to take Torres off, to begin with, and I agree that there needs to be more width. Villa plays better when he's allowed to cut in from the left, and despite the formation change, you see him drifting back there constantly throughout the match.

Get Llorente on for him, take Busquets off and get someone out wide-right.
 
Wow, another central midfielder. How do they expect to win a game with 5 central midfielders and 1 striker?

The drama of this game is beginning to rival the Uruguay v Ghana match.

Jesus... you simply cannot write the script for this tournament.
