Do you blame him? It's the biggest football tournament in the world and he's a patriotic Spaniard playing for a team the has a genuine chance of winning. Football is his life and livelihood. For nearly all footballers the world cup is the ultimate prize. And it only happens once every 4 years, so it's a bloody long wait till the next one especially when you are in your prime.
Personally though, I'd take the prem title anyday!!
