Casillas just had a Southwestern Airlines “Wanna Get Away?” moment.

Spain = France in 2002....It’s tough to get motivated to repeat and also you’re four years older.

I’m sure we’ll hear ad nauseum about how Spain lost their first game four years ago and still won it.
This ain’t four years ago.

Their time is over, I think. Bayern München has the former Barcelona coach now, but I think he won’t be as successful there. This sort of soccer doesn’t work anymore, I believe.

Casillas has been fumbling around like an old man looking for his glasses.

What’s scary is that Holland could have scored even a few more.

Oh, Fernando Torres. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a player decline so swiftly. It’s just painful watching him play these days.
