Appie Culé(@appiecule):The comeback Pau Cubarsí made over Dean Huijsen deserves to be studied. In the space of just one year, Cubarsí went from being on the bench behind him against France and Portugal to becoming an untouchable starter for the Spanish national team. Now he’s been one of the best players at the World Cup so far, while Huijsen is watching it from home. A truly remarkable turnaround by Pau Cubarsí—I honestly never imagined he would completely flip the situation like this.
