You should use Tadic.

Perhaps.

Haha, maybe I should. I've not seen to much of him.
I've played a fair bit with PSV on Fifa tbh.

If not dead, then definitely in decline.

There was an article on the BBC about Germany and their Bayern vs Dortmund style dilemma and it does feel like the Dortmund style (which is similar to what Rodgers has switched to at Liverpool) is more dominant these days.

To do what Barca / Spain did with tiki-taka requires once in a generation players at the peak of their powers. Sadly, those players are not quite at the top of their game any more and thus far it feels like both Tata Martino and Del Bosque haven't found a way to successfully play with same tiki-taka spine yet mix the style up.

Last night Spain weren't playing tiki-taka. They kept trying to feed it in quickly to Costa. That's not playing to their strengths and Holland ended up having much more of the ball (and much more confidence) as a result.

They'd have been much better off playing a less effective brand of tiki-taka. They weren't great in the last Euros but won it anyways.

I don't get how Diego Lopez isn't in the squad when he is the Real Madrid No.1 but yet casillas made the squad and is still spanish No.1.

Because Del Bosque is a coward. His predecessor had the balls to leave Raul out.
Torres shouldnt have been selected and Villa should have started.

especially after Villa scored two trademark goals in their last friendly.

It was Hardee's for us.

I was all over the place. I went to visit @Bradley a few times in DC, I spent Christmas & new year in Miami (South Beach) with about 50 Irish students, I was in New Orleans for Mardi gras, New York for St. Patrick's day and I also stopped by Memphis to pay my respects to Elvis. Fun times.

Oh and I spent a weekend in Tampa.
