Experts’ Opinion
Matthias Jaissle’s unbeaten start at Newcastle is very impressive, but they’ll need to do a better job of breaking teams down in the final third if they are to challenge for Europe.
Spain’s World Cup triumph was a victory for football. The headlines will reflect Argentina’s bad attitude, but with one goal conceded in seven games, and a 38-match unbeaten run still intact, Luis de la Fuente’s side will go down in history alongside their famous 2010 team.

Lionel Messi’s vision should have extended to ensuring Argentina congratulated Spain when they lifted the World Cup, and his message afterwards offered scarce generosity to the winners. For all their achievements, La Albiceleste lack grace.
The upcoming four-game international break is a great idea. It may seem frustrating initially but having fewer breaks will help the flow of Europe’s top leagues.
