The Spain team undeniably has the most technically gifted players on the planet which is what’s responsible for their unchallenged progress to the South Africa Worldcup 2010. It’s a strange phenomenon though, that since the 1950 Soccer Worldcup where the Spain team came fourth, that they are yet to get past the quarter finals in a Soccer Worldcup tournament.
Recently the Spanish team has demonstrated flexibility, ingenuity and meticulous passing, winning 10 consecutive matches with 28 goals and conceding only 5. But will this be enough to conclude decades of under-performance in Soccer Worldcup? In previous World Cup tournaments, La Roja has promised much, but delivered little. There is some expectation however that the South Africa Worldcup 2010 will see this under-delivery change, with the star-studded Spain soccer team rising to the challenge and claiming the grand prize at the grand finale.
The Champion Soccer Worldcup Players
Spain Football Shirt
Spain team captain, Iker Casillas, has the safest pair of hands in world football today. He is supported by other team stars such as Gerard Pique, central defender, the dynamic midfield duo, Xavi and Iniesta and the potent and dangerous strikers, David Villa (top goal scorer with 7 goals) and Fernando Torres. These players certainly have the talent to set the field alight at the South Africa Worldcup 2010.
Spain Football Leadership
Vicente del Bosque was born on December 23, 1950 in Salamanca, Spain and succeeded Luis Aragones as the Spain team coach after Aragones won Euro 2008. Del Bosque knows he has big shoes to fill, however he’s not one to shy away from a challenge. As a midfielder himself, del Bosque won five La Liga titles and four Copa del Reys, before starting his coaching career with Real Madrid. Del Bosque has a coaching career most bosses would be proud of, which is why his dismissal in 2003 came as a total surprise.
After an unsuccessful spell with Besiktas, Del Bosque is now eager to prove his worth and aims to lead the Spain team to championship at the South Africa Worldcup 2010.
