Spain look like they are trying to play like the great team of 5-10 years ago. But the players aren’t Iniesta, Xavi etc
I think one thing we are seeing is even the best teams at the moment are so one dimensional that when it works they look brilliant when it doesn't they look average.
Seen so many shots like that in the last week, what is the matter with them that they can't get the basics right? Lean back, shot goes over, it's just physics. Surely not that difficult to keep a ball down when you've got that much time to anticipate its arrival at your foot.
Player like Morata and Giroud are central strikers or centre forwards in old money and Alan Shearer is right, they know how to attack the six yard box because they have been doing it every day in training since they were kids. They will miss many and both do but they both have a good scoring record for their Countries.

It's what will probably stop this Spain side from dominating in years to come. There's no Torres, Villa or even a Morata coming through along with this group.
General feeling is, it'll be an exciting side to watch but just lacking a Villa and Puyol to go all the way.

Hopefully.

Never write off the Germans and another Central striker scores.
