I wish they wouldn't play both Busquets and Xabi

I wish they wouldn't play both Busquets and Xabi

To be fair, they both do very different jobs.

To be fair, they both do very different jobs.

Aye true, they're both part of a very effective midfield, but I'd rather lose Busquets and see Silva on the field

I hope the Dutch win now. Unless Torres comes on and turns it around.

Come on Holland!!!!!!!

which dutch player was it that got sent home?

It would definitely give them more going forward, but I would think that give so much space to Sneijder as Alonso isn't a holding player in the way Busquets is.
