Germans will take over now

Well,if,if they do,then fair play to them,they showed promise last WC,and Capello had the chance,to strip our squad down to the bones,play the youngsters,add as we went along,and build a team....

Can we meet them in the Qtrs? possibly?

I hope not another disaster. The tabloids will bring out pics of spitfires, tanks and Churchil, and we will get stuffed again.

Funny really. For most of our lives Spain were the great underachievers. Always tipped to do well, always flopped.

South Africa was the first World Cup where they've actually fulfilled their expectations. And now they've failed again. C'est la vie.

10-12 years? Greece, yes GREECE won euro 2004 10 years ago! And Brazil won World Cup 12 years ago...

In fact Italy won World Cup 8 years ago...

6 years more like... Tika taka... Is DEAD!

Along with 2 European Championships, and Barca's 3 recent CL titles with a team containing many members of the brilliant Spanish team.

Yeah but I was specifically referring to the World Cup, as that's what we're watching now, and it feels like Spain have always been contenders based on their footballing dominance in recent years. Which in World Cup terms, they really haven't.

Fernando Llorente would surely have been a better centre-forward than Costa or Torres.

It's bloody justice that Costa has been so toilet - it should never have been possible for him to have play for anyone else but Brazil.
