Admittedly, I am still a relatively new fan to the world of soccer, but damn did I pick the right team. Before the last world cup started, my cousins were getting me into watching after playing Fifa for a while and wanted me to pick a team. I picked Brazil at first, but one of my cousins said that's his team so I had to pick another. Randomly picked Spain without knowing anything about them or how good they were and they end up winning the World Cup! Now after they won the Euro Cup my cousins are thoroughly pissed about me picking Spain and are trying to take credit for it 
I think Spain will be a better team for the 2014 World Cup since they should get David Villa and Carlos Puyol back from their injuries. David Villa, who happens to be my favorite player, is a beast and played a huge role in helping them win the World Cup in 2010. |
Spain are on a whole new level compared to the rest of the world. The fact that
Barcelona's their youth system also churns out quality players year over year is just amazing. Who the f*ck was Jordi Alba before this tournament? What a left back, could easily lay claim to best in the world just based on the tournament itself.
One day, I hope my beloved Dutch team can put their egos aside and play the game the right way, but it seems like we missed another window of opportunity. I would be wary of Brazil at the World Cup, though; European teams typically do not do well on South American soil.
