The only vital thing today is to add the three points, because otherwise our walk towards him would be unexpectedly complicated. Qatar World Cup 2022 (follow the game live on As.com).
We have gotten used to caviar and It is hard to imagine La Roja in trouble heading to a great international event. From the Germany World Cup 2006, Spain did not begin a qualifying round without victory. Then, the draw against Bosnia-Herzegovina forced us to go to the play-offs. We better change the subject, although for this it is mandatory that Spain change the game. We must improve in attack compared to Thursday's duel in grenade, to avoid that horizontal football that does not lead to a good port, because against Greece we only shot twice on goal. The Llorente experiment, with the Atlético player as right back, did not give the resultor desired. The rojiblanco's gunpowder seems to evaporate in that position, so Maybe Porro is the chosen one today.
