Setter is Better.

"government funding" was how the GDR got good at women's swimming, too

Repsol and Spain spend millions of dollars funding Spanish riders, and an entire national series that races to Moto2 rules, which gives them a massive advantage for rider development. The promotion company that runs MotoGP is also Spanish, which is bad. Meanwhile young British riders have to race in like, British Superbike or something else that doesn't prepare them at all for the Moto2 and MotoGP bikes. It's a bad situation unless you are Spanish.



Ugh. Just ugh. I'm beginning to think they really are doped.

We should cut spain a break because I'm pretty sure football players are the only people under the age of 35 who are employed in the entire country.

Spain has the best football league in the world (La LigaŽ) and the best players (Xavi, Iniesta, Busquets, Alba, among others) so it wouldn't surprise anyone if they won the World Cup.

Busquets is a stupid oval office and I hope he dies in a very painful way.

lol it was the softest loving penalty you've ever seen, javi martinez goes down in the box after the ball's swung in from a corner, defender gives a slight nudge but it was such a dive (in a friendly lmao). what a oval office.
