Yeah, hence why I said by default. They are the greatest in my lifetime because they've won three in a row. I can't remember ever being enamoured with them like I was in Pep's first two seasons at Barca though.

Fair enough.

It's hard to be as entertaining as a team that has Messi. Especially when you have broken Torres.

I don't watch him week in week out but Pedro is not having a good one

What exactly does he bring to a side. Doesn't seem particularly quick, produce much in the final third and or have good ball retention

Never been a fan of Pedro for those reasons.

Clinical finisher, actually runs forward and has a great understanding of space, which is key in a team like this. I think he's quite similar to Muller, although not as good.

Yeah, I do understand it, and they are obviously fantastic. But for me, they've always been boring. I won't remember them fondly. This Barca team - who I think are dire to watch a lot of the time - are also responsible for the single greatest team performance I've ever seen in that 5-0 v Madrid. That was extraordinary. I've never felt like that watching Spain.

Scores a lot. Imagine Muller if instead of being pretty good at everything except scoring, he was mediocre at everything except scoring

Don't watch enough of him and to be honest it isn't hard at the moment to call out underperfoming spanish players

And Diego Costa :p

Makes you wonder how much better Brazil would have been with Costa and how muh better he would have been in that system. He did as much as Fred so far, getting one bullshit penalty.

Pedro is alot like Griezmann stylistically. Worse passing range, slightly better dribbler, though he doesn't show that side of his game as much as he could.

He's an intelligent mover, enegertic, and capable of getting involved with (and being vital in) a quick passing game, but he's not going to carry a side the way Neymar or Alexis can.

What the FUCK is Casillas doing

Seriously, I've thought he was overrated for fucking years, but he's turned to absolute shit so quickly. What is going on?

Are you kidding me? What in the world was Casillas doing there? That wasn't a hard hit FK by any means. I think I heard a whistle come from the crowd maybe.. did that cause some confusion?
