Spain - the Coldplay of football

Thu, July 8th 2010

But still the feeling persists that this is an oddly frictionless excellence; that Spain play a kind of platinum-selling dinner party football – Coldplay Football – that is clearly and undeniably high spec, but also devoid of jarringly revelatory spikes and twists.

A great description of the current Spain team. You know they are playing fantastic football and you have to admire them, but ultimately it is like watching Barcelona without Messi - lacking a certain excitement.

It will be fascinating to see how this World Cup is remembered. Will Germany’s dismantling of England and Australia be the abiding memory, rather than the eventual winners, be it Holland or Spain?
