Fabregas on and Spain's midfield looks better straight away.
FIFA World Cup 2014 - GROUP B [Spain, Netherlands, Chile, Australia - 13/18/23 June] **spoilers**

Well he's scored again.
I know he has missed chances like that before but that was childs play for 95% of strikers. He is a spent force and has been for a few years.

How fantastic must it be to have Robben in your team, he's just unbelievable on the counter.

No one really mentioning it but Bosque being a bit of a **** imho in that game.
Firstly still not giving Fabregas a start, starting Alonso/Torres again despite them being terrible. Villa gets a goal, looked lively and looked pretty hurt to be substituted in what is likely his final game. Torres is 30 and had appeared twice doing nothing already yet it was Villa, who scored on his first appearance at the cup, who got subbed for no reason. It was pretty disrespectful and Villa was visibly upset to be pulled off the pitch.
Fabregas comes on, makes loads of runs, looks instantly better and sets up a goal... the usual. Utter disgrace that he overlooked him for, well, not due to form or quality. Villa/Fabregas showed they are amongst the very best players in the team, and probably the two most in form going in to the tournament... maybe Koke up there with them in form, and yet barely got any time in the tournament in which Spain flopped very very badly.
I can't understand the snub for Villa though, he was massively, I mean massively better than Torres across the three tournament wins and again massively so in comparison to Torres for their clubs in the past 4 years.
