    Germans haven't looked too clever in the warm up games still think they lack a top proven striker at International level

    Spain's constant movement is unbelievable, it's football intelligence on another level. England talk about replicating Spain or even Germany but it's more than just systems and keeping the ball, movement is what makes things happens. Knowing what positions to take up, interchanging seamlessly, creating space, moving into space, rotating. It's just out of this world.

    Great game so far, but Spain have so much more depth of talent all over the pitch than Portugal do. Even if they're not as good now as they were in 2008-2012, they're in with a real shout of winning this.

    Thiago's Brazilian isn't he? Surely he'd get a game for them.

    Isco playing exhibition football. Mesmerising stuff from Spain.

    Isco is just mesmerising at times. And to think he isn’t a guaranteed starter for Real.

    He moved to Spain at the age of 5 to be fair to him, and when he chose to play for Spain they were on top of the world.

    Also he was born in Italy so could have played for them either, not bad options to have as a footballer.

    Portugal are so mediocre in comparison to Spain, but Ronaldo wishes he had of been eligible to play for Spain.

    Rafinha chose to play for Brazil, but Thiago opted for Spain as he played for all the younger sides.

    And it's his first World Cup, at age 34 (35 in September).

    I’m genuinely surprised Spain can play so well with such baggy shorts

    Ah cheers, I know his old boy was a player but didn't know if he played in Europe. That is quite a choice of teams to play for.

    Rafael pick Spain too?
