I was so excited to go to this match, Spain v. Switzerland. Good match but not what I expected or what anyone expected. Spain had the exact opposite approach than Brazil. Brazil had a lot of possession but would be to the edge of the penalty area and put a shot on that would not really be close. They probably had 20 shots and 2 on target in the first half. Conversely, Spain also had a lot of possession but would pass around the edge of the penalty area or even at midfield and then the ball would be stolen. Switzerland is probably a little better than Paraguay but come on Spain. I am really not that up set because now Spain is feeling the heat and hopefully their next two matches will be really exciting. We shall see. There were tons of Spain fans at the match. Pictures to follow.
Here is my question from the match that I would love to hear comments about. Where was Fabregas? Why didn’t he play? Navas over Fabregas? He wears the number 10. Everyone raves about him. Barcalona is pushing and pushing to try and take him from Arsenal. And what does he get? Rides the pine better than Tim and myself combined. (Sorry Tim. Thought you would get a laugh out of this since we spent so much time together on the bench.) Please Fabregas, stay with Arsenal where you are respected. Don’t move to Barca just to sit on the bench with a coat on like you do for Spain. We love you at Arsenal. You are our Captain.
Ohhh Captain,
My Captain.
Please lead Arsenal with your mighty left foot!!
Cheers

Very surprised to see the squad that started for Spain. No Fabregas? No Torres? An ailing Iniesta? As you said, Cesc is your #10. Torres had an injury plagued season with Liverpool but is %100 and was a force in the confed cup last summer.
I am interested to hear your analysis on future Sounder Blaise Nkufo. What did you think?
Oh, and I still find splinters in my butt from all the pine we rode back in the day. Thanks for the shout-out.
