It depends what you are looking for. The UEFA types will like to go with Busquet cos they will romanticise the DM who kept possession and disappeared from the TV camera view when his team was conceding goals

There is a DM in this tournament for England whose team hasn't conceded.

There is another DM for Denmark with three assists

The list is not yet out and you are already conceding defeat.
So if the likes of UEFA like DM's who keep possession, why hasn't Busquets gotten so many individual awards?

airmark:

Even the referee lapped Busquet

Homesteady is this not a disgrace? No wonder Barca will be conceding 8 goals in 90 mins in UCL these days with DM that can't outrun a referee.

Mind you, I'm sure the referee even slowed down so as not to interfere with the play in the box

Because I have already seen how they gave him MOTM award in a game where he conceded 3 goals and could not award the scorers or assisters or even Modric who pushed Spain back and had a wonderful assist. I already know it's ninnies on the technical committee, the type that gave Iniesta POTM in a tournament he had no goal output.

The type of ninnies who will give a DM award despite being lapped by a referee on a counterattack

what is there to understand? You got everything wrong in the post. Wrong opponent, wrong scoreline, wrong outcome of winning.

Fyi,I got nothing wrong. Spain won italy via penalty shoot out in Euro 2008 so what is wrong there?

What people need to understand is Jorginho is a player of two extremes. You can't win league with such players.

When playing powderpuff teams, he can dominate possession.

When playing big teams, he can't dominate but will park the bus and he will do well because his lack of pace will not be exposed in such tight areas.

The problem comes when you want to win the league and are facing midtable to top half teams like Villa, West Ham, Leicester and co regularly. Jorginho in these games gets troubled in midfield to where he can't dominate, neither can he park the bus against those teams. He has to play 20 yards further up the pitch and that's where he gets exposed, neither having total control of the ball nor sitting deep enough to not get exposed. That's where he turns basket, and that's where Chelsea drop most of our points to where we are a 3rd or 4th place team. Just check how.many points we dropped against these teams last season

Jorginho is never a player that Chelsea should consider making a mainstay if they want to be consistent in the league.

He is simply a bus parker against big teams and a controller against useless teams. That's a tournament player, not a league player.

Spain today turned him into those Slovakia and Swedish bus parking midfielders they met in the group stage. You can see how Modric and Brozovic drove Spain back in comparison. Who wants to keep battling for top4 every season should keep promoting Jorginho, till Douglas Luiz and McGinn catch him again next season.

we will save this post so the day we win the league. You won’t tell us another long story

Colombia v Argentina will be decided by a penalty shootout

Emi Martinez

Argentina survive a huge scare. Emiliano Martinez the shootout hero

We will indeed have a Brazil vs Argentina final. Mad ting.

Can't wait for that one.

We should have long seen this at Chelsea involving hazard and EMERSON but conte and his fellow Italian brother sarri were too foolish to make it work .

I can't make sense of this comment o boss, no vex.

How on earth did Arsenal let that boy go.

Man was trash-talking is opponents, and backed it up by saving their pens.

Martinez deserves a better club

He followed all the penalties and caught 3

Messi vs Neymar at Maracana

Brazil has a better and more balanced squad they should be favourites

I've said it before...mere looking at Martinez fills one with confidence. Brilliant goalie.

As for Arsenal...na oga Jodera and oga Roland17 fit answer that one, me I neither know nor care.
In fact, e sweet me

Brazil are definitely favorites...asides the squad, they have the home advantage and that historic run of never losing a copa game on home soil (if I'm not mistaken).

Scaloni better start Di Maria cos I don't see the sense in persisting with Nicholas Gonzalez, who offers less IMO. And that Argentina right back go need to dey awake, make Neymar no disgrace am that day.

Messi and Argentina cannot afford to lose. They just can't.

Don't use your head to hit the wall, use it to think about how Chiesa got to that scoring position while Busquets was watching him like a referee.

Honestly, I don't think they have a better side. The major advantage here is probably cos of their home ground. This Argentina side would so be on fire if the forwards manages to score sitters and not waste chances.

Yes, we know Neymar is in fine form but let's not forget his superior is even in a better form. But then, lets not.be quick to judge, Saturday looks far, but near as well.

He told us we are playing community defending to protect Jorgi...... And that no team has ever won the UCL playing 3 at the back.

Well, Chelsea won, he was called out and shockingly, he exercised some decency by hiding under the euphoria the win.

Unsurprisingly however, he sneaked out a month later to tell us that he can never be sold by a players performance in a tournament, and that the league has become the proper standard of test.

I no longer take him seriously
