Spanish National Team Official Thread

I'm wanting Parejo to start too but not sure who instead of...

Ander played well but is there room for all 4 of Ander, Javi Martínez, Thiago and Parejo?

A's said before, just need a touch more killer instinct in front of goal.

I'll get a closer look at Montoya; haven't see much of him at all.

Why not.

But yes, maybe slightly unbalanced in the middle with all of those players. Ander was brilliant against England and couldn't of done a lot more really and would probably be slightly unfair to drop him.

Obviously one of those Parejos was meant to be Ander.

Spain's passing was a lot better once Parejo came on I thought.

Yep, as you can tell I am a big fan of Parejo. His style of play is fantastic in my opinion, especially for the under-21's. Always looking for the ball and very clever positionally. Always looking to keep possession but his fantastic movement always makes it easy for others. I haven't even got started on his technique or passing yet.

I think I have a Thiago type man crush.

Parejo and Thiago are no match for Jack Rodwell.

Surely you mean Mancienne, I was blown away with how bad he is.

I like him and his cool hair/headband too.

Me too

He was dreadful, Smalling would have done better in midfield.

Drop Thiago and play Parejo.

I'll drop you if you say shit like that again.

Spain training now with two changes in their main team. José Ángel at left-back and Muniain for Jeffrén.

This pleases me

I would've started both in the first game.

Same here.

Swag

He needs a trim though.

Nah, he's perfect.

De Gea; Montoya, Botía, Domínguez, Dídac; Javi Martínez, Thiago, Ander; Mata, Muniain, Adrián.

Ikerrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Just about to sit down and watch this as I couldn't earlier, can't wait.

Just finished watching the game. Muniain's inclusion was key. His movement and ability linking midfield and attack was really good and something that was sorely missed versus England and he allowed Mata to cause a number of problems for the Czech Rep playing between the lines. Was pleased to see Adrián score as at times I am his biggest critic as I feel there is always more that he can offer.

Javi Martínez again was a beast in midfield and allowed Thiago and Ander to do their thing. Thiago is really enjoying this tournament and seems to be growing with every minute. He is ridiculously good on the ball and I love his technique.

Similarly to Thiago, Montoya is growing with each game and I am really beginning to appreciate his ability.

The Czech's have the ability to cause England some problems and are quite fluid when they attack and Spain needed to be alert a number of times.

Within the players that have completed over 50 passes so far in the under-21 tournament, Dani Parejo has the highest completion rate with 93% (via opta).

Yeah well, Thiago has completed the most dribbles and most passes in the tournament.

My wonderboy > yours

Parejo > Thiago
Valencia > Barcelona

End of.

Mata is a batman. Your argument is invalid.

Jamie already knew this he is just in serious denial.

Couldn't see a priest in a mountain of sugar.
