I think you'll find that they are all at it, not just the Spanish.

Gone are the days when you got clattered and jumped straight back up so as not to show the opposition you were hurt.

Part of the game unfortunately gaining an advantage any way possible and it seems to be accepted by everyone in the game.
You even see it at "parks" level.

I think Spain are a joy to watch, moving the ball quickly and with purpose.

If England do manage to reach the final, at least we should see a decent game now the French are out.
They'd both be playing for pelanties!
