Welcome back, welcome back, welcome baaaack
Last we saw Spain they got humiliated on the global stage by Holland and others. They got destroyed, embarrassed, raped. Some even accused them of drug abuse. Now a scant 2 years later, Holland is not even qualified for Euro 2016 despite a zillion teams being allowed in, and everyone's favorite Dutch goon oliwan is banned.

But we will always have Netherlands – Spain from 2014. Here is video of Oliwan watching the game live from his twitch. Please excuse the video quality. Oliwan couldn't figure out how to get his pirated sony vegas to deinterlace properly.

Spain topped their group in qualifying losing only 1 game. But the group was bad.






Spain will be wearing this

Spain squad
SPAIN: Goalkeepers: Iker Casillas (Porto), David De Gea (Manchester United), Sergio Rico (Sevilla)

Defenders: Sergio Ramos (Real Madrid), Gerard Pique (Barcelona), Hector Bellerin (Arsenal), Dani Carvajal (Real Madrid), Jordi Alba (Barcelona), Marc Bartra (Barcelona), Cesar Azpilicueta (Chelsea), Mikel San Jose (Athletic Bilbao), Juanfran (Atletico Madrid)

I have bolded the players who are the best because they play in the EPL (England Premier League )

Players to watch out for

Nolito - just scored a few goals against Bosnia

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rIb48WPYegU

Isco - just won the champiopns league
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DaQpQ_-SKDc


Gerard Pique - is openly gay

Please post your ideal Spain XI in [code] tags



To get info from those who really know these players I wrote PMs to some big La Liga thread posters to get their take on Spain’s chances and any info on players they could provide

El Hefe posted:

Well Barcelona easily won the title and I just shot 3 looters who tried to steal my last roll of toilet paper and I think Spain will win the world cup easily or whatever they are playing in, Puyol and Xavi and those guys will just really score a lot of goals and whoever they are playing is gonna lose. Gotta go, someone has just set my car on fire

Let me share some unique Spanish soccer experience with you, in this very thread, because you are missing the subtlety. Instead of following the ball, follow the off ball movement. Look for triangles to appear, dissolve and then reappear right before your eyes. Watch as player's heads swivel to find the man making the run for the second pass, not the first. Watch the tight control and decision making. Don't appreciate the pass that was made, appreciate the pass that wasn't because it was more difficult and less likely to be successful.

Watch the instant pressure applied once the ball is lost. Appreciate the monumental patience and discipline required to maintain possession without making foolish passes for long stretches. Realize that they are making things that are incredibly difficult to do both physically and tactically look so easy that it becomes boring.

Or you can just say lol Spain matches are boring and hate them.

BWV posted:

Yeah big Spain/Barca fan here. Spain will be unstoppable at Europe TYOOL 2016. Messi, Neymar and Suarez are gonna tear it up and gently caress defenses in the butt hole. Definitely love soccer.




Spain will be in Group D with their fellow swarthy Turks, they are already in 1st place so getting through to the next round should be easy.



Lets all eat tacos and burritos and drink spanish wine like the red stuff and listen to Nelly Furtado and enjoy these Spaniards doing their thing. And let's definitely not accuse them of drug use. Does a team on drugs lose 5-1 to Holland? No they don't.

Del Bosque just announced his definitive list and he dropped Saúl and Isco. Carvajal was already out due to an injury he picked up in the CL final.

Not really, no.

Turns out winning a World Cup and an European Cup counts for a lot. Especially considering that Spain used to implode at pretty much every major tournament before 2008.

The koreans were upset because Casillas got away with his INSENSITIVE RACISM. That's why they played so badly, you can't play soccer without a safe space free of bullies and bigots.
