Pedro Porro

What a turnaround this has been for Porro, from fighting relegation with Spurs two months ago, to fireing Spain into the WC final tonight. Really happy for him.

Not even like he's been a passenger - man has been ridiculously solid, arguably Spain's best defender, up against the likes of Portugal, Belgium, and now France.

None of them could get past the guy (well, aside from.Belgium, but that goal came down the other side).

Part of it is that international football is just less advanced than the Prem is. But I am praying that he's finally comfortable in a back four, and that this World Cup is the moment where he transitions from wing back with some defensive frailties, to just all-round world class right back.

Gotta be honest, I was down on him after the last couple of seasons but I am loving seeing him playing as good as I’ve ever seen from him during the WC.

Bring that form back with you PP!

I remember last season people questioning whether we have any World class players. Given that Porro will be in the Team of the Tournament, surely this gives rise to him being World class? I mean if you reach the World Cup Final and are statistically one of the best players at the Tournament, what else is required? It just shows we’ve not always seen the best of him for us.

I’ve always backed him but can understand the criticism from others. Let’s see what De Zerbi can get from him this season.

Was thinking the same. We've spent the entire WC talking about Spence, whilst Porro has quietly taken care of business and will be in that team of the tournament.

In some ways because of the burden on these 2 guys bodies, it would be worth doing a lot of rotation until they've recharged and refreshed. Pedro must really need to be careful that he doesn't spend much more time in the red zone and find himself injured.

We have the makings of a very good defence

Spain have broken the record for the most clean sheets at a World Cup tourney and Porro is the highest rated defender on WhoScored, we’re going to be impregnable next season If we can sort out an elite CF we should be challenging for EPL

First choice RB for Spurs. No cap. Here is to him getting a gold medal.

Only if they are playing Argentina otherwise he will have to make do with a runner up medal.
