There is a side to Xavi's game that no one seems to talk about.

All Xavi makes are obvious passes where there is already a Spanish player waiting to collect the ball. He does not play adventurous defence splitting passes. Just like Zidane or Okocha will do.

This is why sometimes his game is very blunt. Xavi lacks the vission of Messi, Zidane, Kaka, Ronaldinho, Okocha etc.
Xavi is too cautious and controlled and as such very boring.

A racist country like Spain can loose and I'll be happy, but then again Spain is in the BARCA-MODE, Netherland need to get their Inter-mode on, ALTIJD ORANJE'

Did you ever reply that you live in Corpus at anytime?

The question should be "How long have you been stalking my replies?"

Mama-gee

I thought I was the only one who finds Spain's passing passing passing game very boring.

It is a waste of time.

I hope Holland scores first so that they will know that passing all the time is useless.

How does Xavi make over 500 successful passes with the highest pass completion rate in the world cup yet Muller, Ozil, Sneijder, Kaka have had more goal assists than him?

It tells you one simple fact, his play is simply not direct and lack objective except his team is ahead.
