    Default Spain 2008-2012: Best international side ever?

    Is Spain 2008-2012 the best international soccer side ever?

    They've won in that period 2 Euros and 1 World Cup consecutively something that any other team has achieved before.

    If they win next World Cup I think it won't be open for debate anymore. We are possibly enjoying the most legendary intarnational soccer team ever to play the game.

    The amount of talent of their midfield in Busquets, Alonso, Xavi, Iniesta, Silva, Fabregas all playing in the same team at the same time is simply incredible. You might like or dislike their style, but they have created style. Its not only a question of winning but also of being trascendental

    I'm not big on futball but aren't they also doing this without a major international superstar? If they do have one I'm not familiar with any names

    They have a bunch of "superstars" on their team.. Iniesta, Fabregas, Casillas, Xavi, Alonso, Torres(pre slump), etc, are some of the best players at their position. They are an incredibly stacked team and I would bet money that their B squad would be great as well in this tourney.

    1970 Brazil would destroy.

    But Casillas might go down as the best goalkeeper of all time, dude is a beast.

    I don't think it's fair to say that a team that you and most others here weren't even born to seen be able to beat the GOAT team of our generation.

    I'm 67 years old and I was there in Mexico and witnessed the greatest team I have ever seen.

    It's sad when you're telling him to stick to Basketball when he predicted the Clippers would beat the Spurs in 5 or something.

    He's awful either way.

    And i sleep through almost all there games.

    If this is the best team ever goddamn they are boring. Why not just assemble a team of athletic 6'6+s and just play super defensively and then just hoof the ball up field and play for corners and long throws?

    I think you have to play a really good style as well... but just strictly when it comes to winning, you can't deny it. They are the best of all time.
