I remember Puyol mentioned him in his retirement speech. It's going to be amazing seeing him restructure things in his image at United.
That's what most people dislike about them. Funny thing is England might improve if they embrace possession football.Whats to hate about Spain?
The fact they pass too much?
Busquets...Whats to hate about Spain?

If you hate him because he dives, you hate a vast majority of the teams at the World Cup.Busquets...
Teams or players? Busquets isn't just obnoxious because he dives anyway.If you hate him because he dives, you hate a vast majority of the teams at the World Cup.
Well the majority of teams at this World Cup have players who dive. I have no issue with Busquets apart from his diving.Teams or players? Busquets isn't just obnoxious because he dives anyway.
You hate a team because of one playerBusquets...
His diving has been vastly overrated anywayWell the majority of teams at this World Cup have players who dive. I have no issue with Busquets apart from his diving.
I do believe there are many other worse divers around. Robben, Young, Suarez etc.His diving has been vastly overrated anyway
Apart from those horrendus dives against madrid and inter what dives has he committed? He ones of those players living off a past reputation,
You asked what's to hate about the Spain, I offered one reason - the post I'm replying to now are your words, not mine.You hate a team because of one player
Good lord man, Suarez dives as many times a game as Young does in a season.I do believe there are many other worse divers around. Robben, Young, Suarez etc.
He just falls down everytime he can fall down. Some players actually try to stay on their feet but as soon as Busquets has a chance to hug the grass he does so. After he has fallen down he is almost always simulating some extend of pain and looks very annoyed at the other player and hopes the ref gives a yellow. He's just nasty and has very low sportsmanship. He is a great player though.His diving has been vastly overrated anyway

There were some rumblings about del Bosque using only Busquets at the base of the midfield in the training session yesterday so we might see Busquets-Xavi-Iniesta with Pedro-Costa-Silva infront. It would look amazingly fluid however del Bosque has most likely learned from the experiment in the Confeds of only using 1 defensive pivot. Alonso remains essential for balance so your lineup is probably right. Curious to see how Costa will do.
He deserves to be imoApparently, Diego Costa has been heavily booed and called a traitor at training. I expect him to get booed during the match too.
I am not a fan of his too. I never forget the terrible playacting he did to get Motta sent off. I do however feel that are worse divers aroundHe just falls down everytime he can fall down.

I am quite sure he will make some horendus dives again but only at crucial moments. He just is that kind of player.
He deserves to be booed at every opportunity. He's spent 18 years in Brazil; he's as good as Brazilian for me.Apparently, Diego Costa has been heavily booed and called a traitor at training. I expect him to get booed during the match too.
I agree. IMO nothing justifies his choice. I don't fully agree with the Neymar part though. Fred played last night so Scolari would probably have chosen Diego Costa over him in a starting eleven. They could both easily co-exist and succeed.He deserves to be imo
Why is he playing for Spain? Thats bizarre and whats worse is that he has been capped by Brazil before. I think he is a glory hunter and knows that he will have a better chance being the main striker with spain rather than being behind neymar.

Scolari ignored Costa completely for the likes of Fred and Jo. We can talk about the moral side of such a decision all the day long but at the end of the day Costa would be watching the World Cup from his TV at home like Felipe Luis and Miranda if it wasn't for Spain calling him up so I'm not complaining. Costa is a bit of a nutjob anyway so he won't care I guess.He deserves to be imo

It'll be Busquets and Alonso holding, that's how they lined up for most of the training sessions - the single holding player was probably just an experiment. Casillas; Azpilicueta, Ramos, Piqué, Alba; Busquets, Alonso; Silva/Pedro, Xavi, Iniesta; Diego Costa is how they'll almost definitely line-up.There were some rumblings about del Bosque using only Busquets at the base of the midfield in the training session yesterday so we might see Busquets-Xavi-Iniesta with Pedro-Costa-Silva infront.

Pepe and Deco have also done it in Portugal and the brazilians don't hate them though.So, Costa is a Brazilian claiming citizenship in Spain after more than 5 years residence?. If i was Brazilian, i'd probably dislike him too.
That's true enough and you can understand that in some respects. Portuguese and Brazilians however have a strong link to One another over the years. Brazil to Spain is a little more controversial.Pepe and Deco have also done it in Portugal and the brazilians don't hate them though.
That is true, our connection with the brazilians is way stronger but it makes you wonder if the fans' hate isn't directly connected to the players' quality.That's true enough and you can understand that in some respects.

Excited to see van Gaal in action.
Wow didnt,know pepe was brazillianThat's true enough and you can understand that in some respects. Portuguese and Brazilians however have a strong link to One another over the years. Brazil to Spain is a little more controversial.
It's all down to quality unfortunately. Deco wasn't considered for Brazil so he chose to play for Portugal, because he wasn't good enough. Brazil's loss as it turned out.That is true, our connection with the brazilians is way stronger but it makes you wonder if the fans' hate isn't directly connected to the players' quality.
