Seeing as 7 of the team are Barca players & it's that one club that dictates how the national team plays & Spain have previous for making overseas players Spanish nationals at the drop of a hat he seems to be the one missing the point.
And what fan DOESN'T look at a team like Spain & think i'd like him at our club;
As for the grassroots stuff people that have failed are making the decisions & will continue to make decisions that will fail,trevor brooking ffs.
I prefer Holland, Spain keep the ball score few goals but let few few in & rely on one player mostly to score goals,fantastic team but a blueprint for us perhaps not.
Anyone know how many of Spains team were actually born in Spain ???

You know fuck all lad.
Non-dom means they only pay IHT on UK assets (should they die).
Domicile has nothing to do with income tax. You are thinking of residence. He will classed as UK resident and, a such, will pay UK income Tax on all worlwide earnings.
Now wind your neck in and stop posting shite.

Sorry mate but do you have a link? Tried to find his reply on the star website but haven't been able to.
Fuckin ell that was hard to find.SURELY Fabio Capello will change his plans and return to South Africa for Sunday’s World Cup Final.
It was a surprise when the hapless England coach rushed away on holiday as soon as his team went out in the last 16.
He should have stayed to look and learn.
If he’s not in Johannesburg for what is a proper match between two outstanding teams, then he will be making a mistake.
Maybe he’s just decided to take a view from his holiday villa.
Spain and Holland are everything England are not. They have outstanding players, passing, movement, technical ability and they are tactically aware.
Vicente del Bosque and Bert van Marwijk are two coaches who understand international football and are willing to be flexible in their approach.
Holland and Spain are what we hoped we would get from England. Alas, when you watched Spain out-pass England’s conquerors Germany on Wednesday night you realised just how far we are away from them.
It was wonderful to watch and yet depressing at the same time. Will we ever see England play like this? I doubt it very much.
The Spain players have been together for years, they are encouraged to love the ball, use it and develop as a team.
They know each other and don’t play like a bunch of strangers, England-style.
Spain, Holland and Germany put international football high on their list of priorities. They care about their national team, whereas in England we only show a flicker of interest when a tournament comes around.
In my Starsport column earlier this week I suggested clubs like Manchester City will kill off the young English player with their continued purchase of good – not great – foreign players.
The response I got was overwhelming and I thank you for your comments – yes, even the abusive ones. But none of you gets the point. This is not an attack on City, it is a criticism of the system in this country.
Young English talent is being stifled and it is the same at all the big clubs.
A question for City fans: When you watched Spain play, did you not wish England could perform like that? Or did you just hope that your rich owners could sign him, him and him?
In the last three years, Spain have won all their important games and they have been unchanged in that time.
Two years ago when they won the European Championship, Arsenal’s Cesc Fabregas could not get in the team. He still can’t.
If Fabregas was English, we’d somehow find a place for him because he is an outstanding player. Spain put square pegs in square holes while England scatter and hope.
Germany went into the Spain game having scored four goals on three occasions and were kept at bay by two great team qualities – passing and organisation.
So, we have so much to learn and so does Capello. I can’t believe he will not be at the final.
Will Sir Dave Richards, chairman of Club England, director of football Sir Trevor Brooking or anyone from the FA bother to go?
The first meeting between these sides at any major tournament promises to be a classic – as good as England were embarrassing.
It is a game that might just go down in history. An occasion to make managers, coaches and organisations change direction. To rethink.
Capello had nothing new to offer England in South Africa. He might just have if he bothers to turn up in Johannesburg.
Or will he be more interested in what sauce to put on his pasta?
Congratulations to Germany manager Joachim Low for being so gracious in defeat.
He called Spain the best team in the world – a refreshing change from the moans we usually get.
