Spain have never lost a second group game.

 

"¡Opa, vamos por el Mundial!"

 

Luisito to score.

 

If Aragones had any common sense he'd keep the moaning git Raul on the bench until the end of the WC - just watch the useless one play in the 2nd half.

It's the Swiss vs Money Grabbing Africans today.

Has Raul been moaning about not starting then?

Has Raul been moaning about not starting then?

 

 

Big bust up - in the concentration he's been continuously sour-faced - so much so that certain younger players (the ones that played) have complained to the Spanish press - when the subject was mentioned to luis Aragones he blew his top and denounced everything as a pack of lies - which means that it is all true.

 

Aragones has also had a few words with Raul and told him to change his attitude for the good of the team. Aragones has already had Canizares to one side and told him to "buck up or pack up". Abelda has been told to shut up - only Salgado has come out smelling of roses for the time being.

At least they've turned up

[Gilps]

It isn't exactly a big surprise that Raul has gone all moody about not being in the team. If that was always the intention it makes you wonder whether it would've been better leaving him out altogether and taking someone else instead. Nando maybe?

Thanks for that Pat. So with a bit of luck all the players will turn on the Real Madridistas and Reina will be in the team.

Once again Garcia ahead vs the likes of Joaquin and Reyes and Alonso ahead also vs Fabregas, Iniesta, Albelda. Well done lads!

 

 

Reina should be ahead of Casillas

find that bit a little insulting to our lads for some reason They don't need congratulating on being ahead of some of those players, especially Fabregas and Reyes.

since i happen to consider reyes and fabregas top quality players, i do not find it insulting at all.
