He absolutely ran the show last night. His passing and movement are amazing. Messi gets all the plaudits but what has he done for Argentina this World Cup. Xavi for me is the best player on the planet because he is the hub of a very good Spanish team,he works and works and works and he makes the game look so easy. In a quiet sort of way he makes the game great to watch. All the FA need to do is distribute a few million videos of this guy playing football, to schools,clubs etc and we might start to get somewhere.

Sorry, no way. Iniesta is pure class as well but last night he was out on the left wing. I didn't think that was his usual position.

I thought the fella who was picked instead of Torres was the best player on the pitch.

I thought the fella who was picked instead of Torres was the best player on the pitch. My MOM too. He was close to being released from Barcelona but Guardiola took over the managers role just in time and kept him on. No one else rated him! ;D

Iniesta for me. He glides like a swan (if a swan glides?). He'd fit in perfectly at Stoke. Actually, no he wouldn't.

Iniesta is a supreme player. Xavi isn't bad neither mind.
As good as Pedro was last night I bet he's being told that when 2 on 1 he needs to play Torres in.
Hopefully it'll be a great final on Sunday with two exquisite passing teams.

Iniesta is more effective I think. Xavi is a great passer but doesn't seem to have the option Iniesta has of drifting by defenders. Xavi's stats are possibly better because he takes fewer risks.

Puyol was Spain's best player last night.
He kept the Germans at bay at the back and showed the tippy tappy ladyboys in front of him where the net is.
If it was down to Xavi, Iniesta and co, Spain wouldn't have scored before Christmas.

Xavi is in a league of his own. All you have to do is watch yesterdays game to understand why.

Iniesta IS the best player on the planet. He effortlessly walks past players, always finds space to receive the ball in tight areas, has the deftest touch and is always looking to play someone in or to take on an extra man to create space for others. Xavi is the more defensive of the two, but together they are showing that todays midfielders can shine without scoring lots of goals or just booting folk. Wish England had a player of similar ilk! Nearest we have is a FIT Joe Cole.

I agree Iniesta is a great player however I really can't stand him after this world cup. I really didn't expect him to be one of these players who just throws himself on the floor all the time. Also thought Lahm did well against him yesterday. Xavi is technically better.

Xavi and Iniesta are both brilliant players, I thought Xabi Alonso had a great game last night too. Iniesta and Xavi sitting in front of Xabi Alonso... got to be amongst the best core of a team ever.

How such talented players can throw themselves to the floor with the lack of respect that they do makes me sick. Iniesta was verging on Ronaldo territory with some of his patchetic dives last night. All the talent in the world, it's a shame he has no morals.

Hopefully it'll be a great final on Sunday with two exquisite passing teams. You can NOT be fucking serious. If that semi is what football is like with just one 'exquisite passing team', you can shove it right up your tippy-tappy loving arse! It wasn't fit to watch, and I am not likely to bother with the final because it will be more of the same. If that's the future of football, then it has no future. That is all.
