SPAIN AT THE WORLD CUP THREAD is brought to you by



WADA: The world anti doping agency. Play True.

No Cesc, Morata, Bellerin, Sergi Roberto or Marcos Alonso but Liverpool legend Iago Aspas made the team. We're going to win it all again, deal with it

So if Costa gets hurt or is bad, do they just stop playing with a striker? Or is that supposed to be Rodrigo's job?

For this recipie you will need:
Football match (Halftime of), Celebrity Owner (Motivational speaking of), Sherry (Bottle of)
Costa is not Spanish

I can’t believe they went for Monreal over Javi Martinez (not the same position I know). Sounds like they forgot to check for good players outside Spain and England, he won the German league and got to the CL semis :mad:

Arrizabalaga, he's the keeper for Athletic Club (of course he is, with that name). He's really good and was tabbed as Real's next keeper, but he just signed a new contract with an €80m release clause.

Speaking of Basques, Iñigo Martinez is another surprising omission. He's the central defender that Athletic bought with the Laporte money

I don't think Redknapp being a bellend has much to do with Spain but ok.

This will happen and Good Guy Mo Salah will insist none of his teammates do anything untoward to Sergio Ramos and he'll score a hat trick and Egypt will go through and then we'll all get together and have a big orgy, book it
