That confidence carried over to the World Cup, but has since been in remission. Frankly, I hope he bounces back and is great again. I like the guy. Time will tell. One thing's certain, I never played at that level, so props must be given just for being there once.Cleric Mikhailovich de Troihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11074937604933464852noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2766329932594759389.post-49346040426133695782012-06-19T12:14:53.597-04:002012-06-19T12:14:53.597-04:00Spain got lucky in that one.

Because our friend Jesus was definitely offside and definitely involved in the play -- as proven by the pass to him. I'm not sure why there was even any controversy about that. If only Croatia could score on a free header -- those saves by Casillas were aided by the fact that shots were aimed right at him -- then they win. Also, not sure why when playing Spain you don't man mark the passer at midfield after he makes the pass. 90% of the time it goes right back to them. Don't get it.<br /><br />-- Luka M.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
