FIFA #2
Earlier this morning I woke up at approximately 3:46 AM and went to my kitchen to chug water. After that I went back to my room to sleep. But, for whatever reason I could not stop thinking about the Spanish National Team. I mean for a good 45 minutes then I feel back asleep. I’m not sure if this is a sign or anything from the Spanish intelligence that they invaded my memory. That’s probably to far, let’s jump into it.
Spain played 6 WCQ games winning 5 and drawing 1. They scored 21 goals and conceded 2. Mikel Merino and Mikel Oyarzabal both scored 6 goals. Oyarzabal also had 4 assists in those games.
The Spanish plays a 4-2-3-1, they are a very talented, technical, explosive, and versatile team. The strengths go on and on. They do lack the ability to press the ball, if they’re in a situation where they need to press the will struggle to do so. Penalty shootouts are also a “weakness” but I’m not worried about that. Someone will step up.
David Raya will most likely be the starting goalkeeper. As we all know he just lost a champion league final with arsenal. They have one of my favorite players ever in the back Marc Cucurella. He will be joined by Laporte, Cubarsí, and Llorente. In the midfield you have Pedri and Rodri, both really strong midfielders. Up top you will see
Oyarzabal. Yemal will most likely come off the bench but I can definitely see him starting later on in the tournament.
This team’s number one competitor and opponent would be France. Both of those teams are the best in the world and definitely deserve to be in the finals.
The expectations of this team is to win the tournament. Anything else will probably be a let down for Spain. If Spain goes down early it’s going to be off a deflection up front causing Spain to press the ball, fail, and lose. If that does happen it’s France’s tournament to lose. How far do you think Spain will get?n
