No I don't like the fact that you think your more knowledgeable than everyone in every aspect.

A momentary lapse of concentration on my part, totalfootball. At least it's a rare occurrence my old mucker. Ponderous? Stop trying to sound clever, you are an egg. If you can edit a critically acclaimed poem at the age of 10, then by God, I should start writing novels because theoretically there must be some money in it for me.

Melbourne, you are a ledge. totalfootball started crying earlier telling me about how he knows some poet or something, it was very funny. The thing about this lad is, is that he thinks he's right despite the fact that he knows nothing about the game. Some of his posts are insanely bad. Go and read the thread entitled "soccer strategy" he talks about a formation which he thinks is the best in the world, yet no coach in the world ever employs it. Maybe totalfootball is ahead of his time? Maybe he knows something we don't? Hahahahahaha....I am of course asking these questions in a sarcastic manner.

What you are not seeing though is that this formation would not be good for a winger. The full backs would be forced into playing too narrow, making it very hard to play out. In my personal opinion this sort of shape would encourage a more direct style. There are not enough bodies in midfield to pop it around. If the midfield played tight then maybe I could see the team getting hold of it in there but I just don't think a team could play out in this shape.

Raul and Bojan have been left of the Spain squad! :saywhat:

I'm sorry but I would definitly bring those two with me, especially Raul. Raul has been in great form this season. He seems to have his fighting spirit back, and he's scoring plenty of goals.

Spain called up Senna. I think he could be that missing defensive midfielder for them. They need someone to hold back the Pirlo, Ballack of the other team. The thing is, who will the drop in the midfield to play him? They have Alonso and Xavi in the middle already. And surely they can't drop Villa or Torres up top. It's going to be tough...

whatever happened to Capel? I saw him play in the Under 21s in 2007, and he was tireless, had great skills, and great vision.

Senna is a box to box man and I don't think he has the discipline to be the player that shields the back four. In international football it is far more important to have a Pirlo/Alonso type figure in front of the back four dictating than a destroyer in front of them.

I would play this:

                              Casillas

Ramos             Puyol        Juanito      Capdevila

                              Alonso
             Fabregas                 Xavi

Iniesta                                             Silva

                           Torres           

Iniesta could float off the right, or even change flanks with Silva on occasion. Villa could come off the bench for a midfielder and go 4-4-2 if needed.

seems to be an astute strategy. Well done. But where is Capel now? Its really bothering me. I'm not saying he should be named to the Spanish roster yet, but still...what a player.

EDIT: never =mind, he's on Seville I think
