Because the Spanish FAA just sent me a message saying,

thank you, Valencia, thank you, Mestaya.

Tickets sold out.

No more tickets on sale for Spain Netherlands on Sunday night.

And yes, I'll be there.

It made me think of the fact that I wonder how many have bought tickets for the game,

not simply to support Spain, to try to send them through to the Nations League Final Four,

but to reserve a hostile welcome for the Dutch coach Ronald Cooman.

The reason simply wouldn't be that Holland are threatening upon who could put Spain out,

and I don't think the reason simply would be the rough and ready way

in which the Netherlands got after the European champions on Thursday night,

mostly legitimately.

But I think there'll be a hostile welcome.

And part of what will be wrapped up in that

is the fact that Cooman is going back to the Mestaya, going back to the club he coached.

Do you remember? 2007, 2008.

Kiki Sanchez was sat by an idiot present called Juan Soler.

Cooman was brought in and told that part of the deal for him being in charge at Valencia was that he had to bully and then cut out completely.

Canizares, former real-in-spain goalkeeper.

Angulo, brilliant midfielder, wide player, occasional wingback,

who then went on in later years to be head of the academy and is still there too.

And the club captain David Al Belder.
