HOLLAND 2 SPAIN 0 | INTERNATIONAL FRIENDLY MATCH RESULT

The Spain National Football Team continues to drown in doubts as they lost 2 - 0 in Amsterdam to Holland in tonights International Friendly match. The media built it as the "revenge" game for Spain after losing in the last World Cup in a disastrous fashion. However, the truth is that Spanish Coach Del Bosque started with a B-side:

De Gea; Carvajal, Albiol, Pique, Bernat: Mario Suarez, Cazorla, Fabregas, Isco; Pedro & Juanmi. Later on: Vitolo, Silva, San Jose, Ramos, Morata & Iniesta.

And so did Holland, so this for an excuse is not acceptable.

Again, Spain trips with the some stone, lack of GOAL. But tonight was added new "stones" on the path: defensive mistakes - bad aerial work - & a lack of knowledge of what Football is to be played. Said differently, lack of ideas, creativity & at times lack of intensity. 

The Dutch goals came in a space of three minutes, with a header from De Vrij in the 12th min & the second in the 15th min through Klaasen. Spain had chances, plenty, but failed to convert their opportunities upfront, at times missing the unexplained. 

Spanish Coach Del Bosque had to bring on some of the veterans in the second half to "put right" the Football in the Spanish game, but it was too late the doubts had firmly settled in. 

Impressive performance from young Dutch 21 year old winger Depay who showed class & promise, a positive aspect in tonights game.

Conclusion, deserved win for Holland who played their game - & better - while Spain comes home with more doubts, Coach Del Bosque questioned & will come under fire.
