The Confederations Cup Thread/ City Player Watch.

They're both useless. Isco is the phantom on the bench and soldado plays for Atletico Madrid.

Iniesta seems up for the second half, not that he was bad in the first.

Messi gets all the plaudits at barca, but Iniesta is one bloody good player

Cavani must be raging there, acres of space to Suarez's left and Suarez tries the harder pass.

The Uruguayan central midfield is so ponderous on the ball.

Why don't teams just park the bus against Spain? Have a back 5 and 4 in front of em frustrate them and hit em on the break?!! Looking at international team they play pretty open football

Most club sides would murder international sides. They play almost every day, and mixes they nationalities for maximum efficiency. Bayern would beat germany every day.

Correct. A little out of date but this was calculated using the stats of the available players in Europe:

Occasionally top club sides play National teams such as in this article. The club nearly always wins. The National teams used to be better but Bosman and money changed all that.

Spain are the exception but they benefit from the the two best club teams aside from Bayern.
