Spain is the best team I've ever seen. I didn't see Pele's Brazil so I can't comment on them. But no team has dominated soccer like this current Spain team. Zidane's France teams won a lot of games, but they didn't dominate the games like this Spain squad. Brazil had a lot of individual talents in the early 00's, but they didn't play as cohesively as this Spain squad.

This squad has the best midfielders I've ever seen. And their style of play is entertaining as fukk. Big props to them. Would have liked to see them play Germany but those bytchasses choked.

:rudy: That '02 team played well together and were the modern definition of the beautiful game.

no. Messi is better.


Messi is good but just overhyped. All real soccer heads know that

Who overhypes Messi? Who are these real soccer heads?:snoop:

Messi makes that Barcelona squad almost unbeatable. Dude is almost Maradona status. They fell off a bit this year, but that's after 3 years of total domination.

That team had a lot of individual talent, but didn't play as cohesively as this Spain squad. If you want to look at collection of talent, that Brazil squad is godly, but something about the way this Spain team controls and dominates the game is something else.

So someone really saved all of my posts about Balotelli?


Bet they were hoping he'd score tonight and Italy would win so they could rub it in my face.:russ:

Unlucky lads, he's average. :manny:

One good game every few months:usure:

maybe it's me but I think overall national teams have been mediocre and/or inconsistent (except for Spain) for a long time. Seeing Portugal take them to penalties also makes me think about their "greatness". I also don't find soccer as inspiring overall in national games as before or maybe I'm just getting :flabbynsick:. The old Brazil and France teams were like :krs:and :gladbron: and this Spain team just makes me go :ehh: and :leon:

Drop this rubbish about other teams.

You're all just doing it to prove your soccer credentials, typical of you americans.


They've won 3 major tournaments in a row ffs. There is no argument to be had, none.

Just because france and brazil have black players it doesn't mean they're better you clowns.

Besides, google Marcos Senna, take that black power fist and wank yourself in to a coma.

You might want to have another shot at that champ. Try does instead of doesn't.

I give Spain credit especially the midfield but as a fan I'm just :ld: "oh that's a real nice pass" instead of "oh that's a real nice goal and/or pass"

senna is a c00n

In response to this, Aragones has said in public that he is not a racist, and claimed that he had black friends. Brazilian-born black midfielder Marcos Senna stated:
“ He is not a racist. 'Aragonés is a spectacular person. [Former Spain defender] Donato, who is black, is one of his best friends. Maybe something escaped, a word, and he was misinterpreted. He helped a lot bringing me to the Spain team, and the fact people thought he was racist was minimised by the fact he called me. I see the way he treats me and how he likes me. 'He calls me "The Brazilian". Sometimes I take a free-kick in training and he shouts, "Hey Brazilian, don't take it that way, hit a folha seca [falling leaf] like Nelinho [scorer of one of the World Cup's greatest goals in 1978]." He is a surprising guy, because he is really serious, but then he comes with jokes. The guys adore Aragonés.'

Not the same anyway. Black brazillians don't represent black americans, no matter how much black americans try to claim them.


"ronaldinho! he black like me! :gladbron:"

no he's not :laugh:

as a fan I remember great plays not trophies. Spain had some good ones but nothing I'm going to rave about 10 years from now.:yeshrug:

I think 02 brazil still loses to spain, especially in spains prime :manny: ronaldo would score at least once tho.

spain just suffocate your midfield. that brazil team was :ahh: but also all the teams back then except maybe italy gave you space and time to actually play the game and enjoy playing it.

any team that is known for its attacking has an extremely tough time against spain.
