I actually did want Spain to win, wnated them to complete the set as it were of international titles. I like them as a team play good football. They need to be able to change up a bit though, Navas should maybe have played instead of Mata and more than anything they need a good striker. Negredo maybe or hopefully Llorente will come back to form with Juve Great result for Brazil though will give them huge boost, they were excellent yesterday. The two holding midfielders are demons and CB's were very good.... Front three/four were good. Not sure about Hulk still, bit hit and miss he is. Ive always thought Hulk could play lone striker with Oscar, Neymar and Moura behind him. Or Hernanes in midfield and a front three or Neymar, Hulk and Oscar/Moura. But Fred proved me wrong the boy can finish. Also Neymar was fantastic but for all his ability he can be a diving cheat.

^Paulinho seems too good for Spiurs though he will be a great addition to their midfield In that kind of formation a 4-2-3-1, Brazil have got a good balance in central midf of one sitting midfielder in Gustavo and one box to box type player Interesting article on Goal.com saying how yesterdays match bore much semblance to Bayerns defeat of Barca, high energy pressing and pacy attack and Spains style of play could not cope. Italy did the same thing with 5 in the midfield breaking with pace, but did not have good enough attack to capitalise. Spain must have been tired too after the Semi. Martinez, Soldado and Navas should have started yesterday, easy to say in hindsight i guess. Spain can play the Brazil/Bayern style formation... Martinez and Alonso if fit or Busq in the middle.. with Isco, Iniesta and Navas/Mata behind a striker- an in form Llorente would suit that formation well... Xavi is not the player he was..even yesterday could have played Torres and Soldado, Torres slightly deeper behind Sold...Iniesta drifintg in from left, Navas wide right, Martinez and Fabregas in the middle.. Azipilic at RB..again all easy to say in hindsight

^No Villa is past his best now and might well be off to Spurs though I wish Valencia would make a bid to take him back. Neymar, Messi and maybe Pedro up front. I think Barca should stump up cash for Aubameyang from St Etienne. Sell off Sanchez.

They'll have to start with Neymar now that it is a big ticket transfer. Though they could have done with a good replacement in defense. They didn't really need Neymar as much as they needed a center back.

^O yeah absolutely. Barca have needed a CB for 3 years now. Theres a Dutch U21 Cb who plays for Feyenoord called Martins Indi- he'd be good for them Cant beleive they bought Song last year, seriosuly f8ked up. Not only is he not that great but they need a specialist CB not someone who can cover midf and CB. Busq and Mascherno and Song are NOT the answer when Puyol and Pique are out. I think the youngester Batra is ok, but they need another addition. They have been very poor in the transfer market for a while and are lucky the academy has produced such Gems. I remember thinking when they Bought Ibra and sold Eto'o (crazy move that was) that a better move would be go for Silva and Villa from Valencia. Really hope Thiago doesent make the daft decision of moving to Man Utd. he should take Xavis place in Barca midfield, barca need to tell him he will be first choice

True. They have been next to awful in transfers. Best academy but they should be moving in more players. I guess Puyol is about to retire(?) and they will surely need a top class CB from somewhere. Vermaelen could have been a good choice when he was up for transfer. Mascherano and Song are more like backup CBs.
