yup. all them off-side goals allowed by Spain from blind refs in the past 3 years
This was nuts.also gif of dat save
1 World Cup. Less than Uruguay. That's the number that matters.
Lol, no, just no.
The spanish team is good, and better than the current Brazilian team, but one of the best teams in history? No way. They have no place even in the top 10.
As I said the spanish team is good, but frankly most the rest of the traditional national teams have been really, really bad these last few years. Brazil chief among then.

They introduced a new style of football which was hard to deal with. Now teams are adjusting and Spain's weaknesses are becoming much more apparent. Spain are a very strong side, but they aren't anything close to what the numbers suggest.
less than uruguay m8
loooool
edit that, don't let salsa see it haha
So Spain invented that style? Hmm...
Yeah two consecutive European championships and one World Cup aren't that impressive. On top of that, it hasn't even been close in most of the matches - Spain has mostly steamrolled all tournaments the last 4-5 years. I think I read they haven't conceded a single goal after group play in a major championship since WC -06. If that isn't impressive then I don't know what is.
They didn't steamroll the World Cup. They were lucky they made it to the Final. And Euro football has been shit lately.
I don't even know, obviously Barcelona have a similar style, but I've never seen an international team implement it. Who else is there?
You're not really dismissing my point there. I didn't say their team was bad.

Has Germany ever beaten Italy in an euro or World Cup?
We are racist people, didn't you know?
Legendary? Not in my book. I can think of dozens of national teams that were better than they are.
As I said the spanish team was good and took advantage of a lot of other national teams weakness. No one was playing at their level these last few years but not because they are legendary, it was because the others have been really shitty. Germany, Italy and even Brazil have been renovating their teams over these last few years.
Well, we'll just have to agree to disagree.
That said I still think Spain is the favorite team next year in the world cup, and I think that a loss right now may help to strengthen then and help then resolve their weaknesses. Del Bosque is a great coach IMO.
They're the ugly duckling in Europe, so they try to mess with America, even if we don't really care about them lol
What the fuck are you talking about??? Have you ever been to Spain? Best european country period. I love Spain. Stop embarrassing yourself.
I love Portugal too, but I wish we were colonized by Spain instead.
If you have some links?
so salty

Spain gets hate from within their own borders from the various different ''nations'' who claim autonomy
Yes, but what's the point? Someone might feel the need to engage them and I'd rather not see this BS escalate.

Kind of a dumb comment since you would have been just another Spanish speaking country if things happened differently. But this is all moot, since if Spain had colonized you instead, Brazil would have never existed as we know it today. The royal Portuguese family living in Brazil is what kept all the Brazilian states united.
You wouldn't have feijoada either brah. Be careful what you wish for

Iberian Union happened in the past for a duration of 60 years, and in those 60 years the economy was centralized towards Madrid while Portugal to okthe shaft from transfer of powers weakening Lisbon.
Thankfully after those 60 years, Portugal regained independence (Restoration) and made a come back to normal.
A new Iberian Unification would just render Portugal as insignificant as Galicia.

Yep, my years on the internet taught me that you don't mess with Spain football or their TV dubs, or else you'll unleash hell, lol.
That's different though. Unless I misunderstood the other poster (I thought he was Brazilian). But D. Philip I (II) wasn't so bad. He kept everything separate and even wanted to move the capital to Lisbon iirc. But the following Kings started to fill the courts in Portugal with more and more Spaniards and its power started to weaken. At some point the camel's back broke.
Didn't expect Brazil to win, that was interesting. Spain was playing like ass though.
I made the fixed joke to a few friends as we watched, let Brasil win the CC so that the people's minds are taken away from protesting and whatnot. I hope this doesn't slow things down on that front.
