As someone not on the Spain waggon ... ah love it ... heheheh Aragones and del Bosque ... heheheh .... 2 different individuals. 

Aragonis woulda carry Guiza who does make things happen when Torres and Villa not doing it!  Del Bosque bonx he head leavin out Guiza (unless he injured)

Guiza is a wild gypsy who probably only Aragones could keep under control...probably the reason he took him to Fenerbache...

Del Bosque included him on the Confed Cup side though....strange enough.

Interesting post match comments re: Spain

the problem is busquets. having two deep lying-minded midfielders, AND xavi who usually likes to hang back as well is bad. If it must be a 5 man midfield, why have busquets in there anyway if you plan to hold on to the ball 80% of the time? What play is Busquets going to break up? Stick Xabi as the deep lying midfielder, and stick Xavi and Fabregas/Iniesta along with Xavi in the middle.

 

I think that point highlighted in BOLD is a really good point.

Spain had 75% possession.  Is not like they had that possession because of Busquets and Xabi Alonso.  So why the need for both of them?  Spain may have been better served with the 1 defensive mid and another attacking option.

OR.....as soon as yuh realize yuh not penetratin de Swiss defence, make de change and bring in a more offensive minded player for one of yuh defensive mids.
