Ball levitation skills don't earn you a start with Spain? Pic via Guardian.
Cesc Fabregas, who probably already plays for Barcelona in the deluded minds of their front office, made his first appearance of the 2010 World Cup for Spain yesterday, in a 2-0 win over Honduras. Fabregas replaced Xavi and nearly put his first touch of the tournament into a wide open net, were it not saved at the line by a defender at the last second.
In the match itself, David Villa scored twice, while also rattling the crossbar and blatantly missing a penalty kick, so really, he probably should have had eight goals, or something. But he also got away with a blatant hit to the face of a defender, which only means one thing: players are only sent off for hits to the face when the performance of the defender hit is worthy of an Academy Award.
As we speak, four Gunners are in the line-up for Les Train Wreck France, including three on the back line. France is losing anyway.
