    Casillas
    Valdes
    Reina
    Capdevila
    Pique
    Puyol
    Ramos
    Xavi
    Mata
    Alonso
    Busquets
    Silva
    Alcantara
    Fabregas
    Iniesta
    Villa
    Torres (when he's on form at least)
    Pedro

    All ****ing mint, mint players, all in one national team. It's actually shocking how good they are, so much so that players like Mata, Fabregas and Villa struggle to get a look in the starting 11.

    I'd personally say that they're the strongest national side to have ever existed in football - ever. Their only weakness, perhaps, is their strikers, but they even have Torres, who is one of the best strikers in the world by far when he's on form.

    Simply class when you look at it on paper. If they had an attacking style manager they'd bag soo many goals..They're just so class!

    I had to laugh the other night where the commentators (forget who it was, but it was ****) were having a moan because a cross went in with no one there and started on the 'well, they've started without a recognised goalscorer'. Two minutes later, 'there's Villa with his 50th goal for Spain'. Morons.

    They are ace.

    More than that even, I cant think of another national team that Arteta would get 0 caps for.

    Llorente's a quality striker as well.

    I'd say Villa is one of the worlds best strikers also.

    But even that team looks like a load of Perch's when you consider:

    Hennessy
    Taylor
    Williams
    Blake
    Gunter
    Bale
    Bellamy
    Ramsey
    Crofts
    Allen
    Morrison

    ...

    You look at that side and its not hard to realise why England will never get near winning a major tournament any time soon. Its just stupid they have world class cover for nearly every position before you even look at the starters. Easily one of, if not the best national side ever.

    Wonderful team , still beyond me how Enrique has never played for them though.

    He's better than any of the left backs they have imo.

    What's depressing is that you've even missed out Llorente, Albiol, Enrique, Canales, Navas, De Gea, Alba, Marchena, Senna, Reyes, Negredo and Soldado who would all get in the England squad comfortably.

    Would any English national players get into Spain's starting 11, or even Spain's second 11? I can't see it. Rooney, maybe, but that's it.

    Casillas
    Ramos - Terry - Pique - Cole
    Xavi - Gerrard - Fabregas
    Iniesta - Rooney - Villa

    I would say those 4 would.

    Don't forget Cazorla, top class. They are ridiculous and one the reasons I always think people aren't using their brain when they complain England should be winning everything in sight
