Next saturday the playoffs begin. And here in Madrid, Spain is going to beat Slovakia. But I have a question to make.
And we will be there. In the Vicente Calderon.

So has Joaquin not been selewcted lately? And you are asking if he should be?

I think definitely, he is a class player and will tear Slovakia apart!

How could you not selcet Joaquin? He is an amazing player with pace and skill and has good distribution. Also Vicente is the same he is sometimes missing from Spain squads, partly because of injury sometimes admittedly. Spain have disappointed over the years, they always have a great squad but they never play to their potential.

Watch out WC if they do play to their full potential!

Yeah, good goalkeeper, solid defense, well gelled midfield, impressive attacking options, can't fault them on paper but when it comes down to it they need to perform. Can't wait to see how Fernando Torres copes in his first real major competition, maybe he will catch the eye of Fergie again who is a great admirer and come join United to Replace Ruud when he finally decides to call it a day, which I have a feeling will be in the not too distant future.

I think Spain will win play-off but ...
Slovakia isnt San Marino.
"beat" is

Podľa Romana Kratochvíla každý zápas má svoju históriu, svoj vývoj. "Hoci Španieli sú veľkými favoritmi týchto dvoch zápasov, to je iba na papieri. To ešte nič neznamená. Výsledky sa rodia na ihrisku. Aj Rusi boli v súbojoch s nami favoritmi a prešli sme cez nich. Takže papierové prognózy nie sú podstatné. Podstatný je výkon"
Kratochil say: ~"Spain is paper favourite".
Slovakia is going to play defence style. Their defence is strong.
Spain group scores:
BiH 1:1 1:1
Serbia 0:0 1:1
and
Lithuania 0:0

"East Europe" is difficult for Spain.
Come down your "write" mate.

There you have: 5-1
What did you say about eastern teams?? Oh, and Turkey lost...

Congrats to Spain on a magnificent performance!

Yep well done Spain, clinical performance.

the spanish rage is here again. But Slovakia is not Brazil. I think quarter finals will be a good result for us. Before that, we have to play in Bratislava.
