So naturally, that’s exactly what he did.

With Manchester City midfielder David Silva standing over a dangerous free kick, Holden suggested that Spain would probably look to chip the ball to the back post so they can head it back across the face of goal for man-amongst-boys striker Diego Costa to bury. And guess what happened?
