Agreed. Edu looked a little nervous at first, but came on pretty well
after that.

Bornstein is supposed to be signing with Atlante in Mexico. He has
plateaued a bit the last couple years but has potential.

He was only on loan at Hull, he's a Villareal player. Before the WC it
was thought that they would look to sell him but with Llorente sold to
Sociedad there have been some recent articles indicating that they're
leaning towards keeping him. Tough competition for playing time there
although Rossi apparently wants out.

Edu should have started against Ghana... not Clark.
