Funny thing with Spain is that nobody really cares about the national squad. Club Football is much bigger and that's why they never play any caps in Madrid or Barcelona. The rivalry between the two super clubs is also present on the national squad. Players from Madrid and Barcelona just don't get along.
Spain have been one of the favorites to win since the birth of world cup. On paper they have one of the most talented squads but they ALWAYS screw up, and often so early in the tournament.
Do I hear an amen for b2b Italy? :beer:
