So the World cup has come around again and shockingly the Spanish football team are favourites to win it, I would agree with this on the basis that Spain and Brazil are clearly the two best teams on the planet right now, however I do have a few doubts which I can only base on hype and hope being a loyal England fan. Spain play football in a similar manner to the imperious Barcelona, pressing from the front and using a small but precocious midfield to pass their opponents to death, this is allied to having two of the worlds great strikers in Villa and Torres to feed off of the majestic midfield.....what could go wrong? Well with Vincente Del Bosque ...  Read the complete review

Spain's national football team is currently one of the best national teams around and are one of the favourites for the World Cup in South Africa next year alongside Brazil. After many years of relative underachievement and disappointments they were finally successful in a major tournament as they won the European Championship trophy (Euro 2008) which took place in Austria and Switzerland last year. After this they rose to the top of Fifa's rakings for national football teams for the first time in the teams history but have since been overtaken by Brazil who won the recent Confederations Cup. They have won the european champioship trophy twice ,in 1964 and most recently .  Read the complete review

Nickname(s) La Selección (The Selection?) La Furia Roja (The Red Fury) La Roja (The Red One) Head coach - Luis Aragonés Captain Iker - Casillas Most caps - Andoni Zubizarreta (126) Top scorer - Raúl González (44) Tonight's semi-final is the furthest Spain have been in an international tournament for 24 years, the last time being that memorable defeat to hosts France in an amazing European Championship Final in 1984, Platini scoring late on. That Spanish team was extremely controversial as they had to win by 11 clear goals against Malta to qualify for Euro 84, which they did by 12 goals to 1. It was only ...  Read the complete review

This review is on Spain and the picture above is on the Spanish football team (dooyoo fancy putting a nice pine tree instead). Hola Como estas', Muy Bien gracias. Bet most of you know what that means but to those of you who don't it means 'Hello how are you, Very good thanks. Spain is a hot happy country and that's why as Brits are all living down there. Learning the lovely Espanol (Spainish) language is very important as the locals will very much appreciate it. Once in spain whether you've jumped of at Malga airport or driven through the Pyrenees, you will be in a very beautiful country with superb scenic landscapes, ...  Read the complete review

And so my tip for the World Cup do what they always do, sink by the wayside just as it looks like their bunch of world class individuals are going to finally get their act together and realise their potential on the world stage. Much as was the case with England, with many of the leading lights disappearing from trace and descending into despair, it finally looked like 2002 may have been the year that Spain were going to bring home the bacon - or at least get into the semi finals. For Spain, the last four has always been forbidden territory. They got there once when it was a group section for the stage, but they have never managed to make their way into a ...  Read the complete review
