Heads or tails? England or Spain?

On the road to South Africa two European squads join Netherlands and put their hands on the qualification.
100 per cent victorious, they both produce an exquisite football, but with same important differences, England influenced by the coach Fabio Capello and Spain by the crushing style of Barcelona.

England
More pragmatic, always with high concentration on defense, uses a direct style of play to win matches.

Best: The midfield duo-Gerrard/Lampard, once called unmatchable by fans all over the world they are now essential to the only midfield that rivals with… Spain.
Worst: The fullbacks, neither Ashley Cole – that seems to have long lost is sparkle – neither Glen Johnson are truly what the doctor orders.

Spain
With a more passing style, they have on ball possession the first weapon to win games. The European champions are once again with high hopes.

Best: Like England, the dynamic duo on the center, Xavi the brain, Iniesta the pace. They bring all the show they give at Barcelona to the national squad.
Worst: The defense, I can’t name one Spanish defender without frowning my eyes. Obviously when you have the ball that’s not much of a trouble...

Also congrets to Ghana and Paraguay. They’re booth with assured presence in South Africa 2010.

On the other side what to say about self-proclaimed giants from Portugal… and France… and Argentina.
