Nah, Spain have been taking it easy and thinking of a break, hardly broke into a sweat all comp. This is just like this time last year just before euro's when Argentina did them 4-0 and when Brazil did same thing year before world cup.
Yeh they will. Spain looked tired and fragile but Brazil have played better in this tournament also. Fred looks the world class player again he was at Lyon, Neymar looks unplayable and David Luiz looks a different player also. I think it also helps that the home crowd is very vocal and that's an extra 10% for them. Belgium, Italy and Holland will also be class with Brazil. I get the feeling teams are going to start knowing how Spain are going to play.
Thay already do, it's stopping them that's a problem. The heat and high humidity in Brazil won't do Spain any favours, nor will having a defence like a sieve.
Yeh maybe that is true to be fair. Teams know how to play them but it's stopping them. England played a 4-5-1 against them in a friendly a few years back and beat them but that was because Iniesta and Xavi didn't have much space.
Spain only play in one way, passing the ball around trying to create space. Plenty of skill but not much pace and strength. They don't have anyone who can run at the opposition and take 2 or 3 men on (perhaps with the exception of Navas) because they have Messi and Ronaldo/Di Maria in their club sides. Brazil have skill (Neymar/Oscar), strength (Fred/Paulinho/Hulk/Dias) and speed (Neymar/Hulk/Alves). Spain were just pressed and out-fought in the middle by a very physical Brazil side who could then break away quickly. They always had an out ball too, high to Hulk who always won it against Alba.
