The Independent may be reporting that Spain are willing to go to any lengths in their pursuit of one hundred percent possession against Ireland tonight at Yankee stadium.
We will assume that the newspaper merely misspelled Xabi Alonso's name and that Spain will be operating with a revolutionary 4-3-3-1 formation which will allow manager Vicente Del Bosque to include six central midfielders.
This will allow the European and World Champions to play a ninety minute game of 'Rondo' (piggy in the middle) in the centre circle with Jeff Hendrick.
