Spain

[goodz]

Have the Favourites, and defending champions ever played so terribly in the history of the cup?

Quite frankly I doubt it.

Anyway we have so many threads dedicated to figuring out what is wrong with the usa, I thought we should open one about the problems with spain. I think they are going to end up doing worst this world cup then the USA. When did american soccer become better then spanish?

Problems with Spain:

They don't speak American.
They aren't free.
Democracy.
Guns.

Hahaha, we owned the Spain and this is the ultimate revenge for beaten us in the finals 4 years ago. *Go Netherlands*

[goodz]

at least they have a strong economy and booming job market in case professional soccer doesn't pan out.

right now the Spanish aren't happy with their king. I didn't mean king Felipe, but king football.

Last years was an exception in football. For a sport that is extensively played in the country, we historically have done horribly in international competitions…so used to it, or should be at least. :D

I think there was national depression for a day or two and then people recovered quickly. Of course some people didn't even watch it… :)
