I hope the new coach realises Xabi's awesomeness and plays him more than the creep did.

Does this game clash with the England one? Cos while Spain/Denmark is filled with more hotness than I can cope with, I gotta take England first.

Oh bugger, I'm meant to be out tomorrow. Oh well, looks like I'm missing both!! Please provide lots of pictures (preferbly shirtless and sweaty).

While I absolutely appreciate the hotness, I am highly annoyed that we are sending our players off to international duty after only the first match of the season! Hmph. NOBODY GET INJURED! I'm talking to you Xabi, Nando, Pepe, Danny!
