In particular, Sid tells us the extraordinary family story of Nico Williams, whose brother Iñaki plays for Ghana. Plus how has national coach Luis de la Fuente changed Spain from a team obsessed with possession to a team with flying wingers?

England is not top..
I’m, Spanish 55 and I remember growing up and seeing our national team lose over and over again. I despaired of ever seeing the team win anything. We always had great players, but when it came to the important games, we lacked character. Huge ball possession, very few shots on goal. “La Furia Roja”… what a sad joke. Tikitakaed ourselves to death. Then came Luis Aragonés. He changed everything, from then on, we were respected, from then on the players believed in themselves. Now I can hardly credit what I’m seeing. Now, when we face Italy, Germany, France…you can feel their respect. God bless you Luis, thank you, thank you, thank you.
Yes, they did beat 4 World champions but they were all playing poorly.
Yes, the future is Spanish it says while showing a picture of 2 Spain players who are not of Spanish ethnicity
So Spain were not considered as a first tier candidate, but England was ?? WTF
Based on ????
England has won FA in 60 years. Spain have an impressive amount of titles in the last 16 years (2 Euros (3 now) 1 world championship, 1. Nations League ) so the expert is not really.
.for me, Spain went from a mobile and fast Tiki-taka to a "game control" tiki-taka…..
.. and now, they improved it by adding more "speed" and attacking play, but without forgetting the "tiki taka", because most of their "goals" are by equal combination +10goals, and for me that is what tiki is about -taka.
Finally football and strategics is played by the players so a team has to adapt the strategic to the players that you have on every moment… having posession worked for the 2008 generation because we had the best midfielders in the world (iniesta, xavi, silva, cesc, Busquet, Xabi Alonso, Cazorla…) but once they were gone it is impossible to intend playing in the same way, this is why HIerro and Luis Enrique failed as managers, they tried to play in the same way with not so talented players. For Spain possesion is important still but they have been able to adapt this philosophy to the most talented players in the country.
Rodri is a future great manager, you can see it already
.for me, they not only win in football, but also in the behavior of their fans.
…both when they lose and when they win…
Subcampeón nations league 20/21, semifinales euro 22 , campeón nations league 22/23. Como que nadie lo esperaba, y se supone que sabéis de futbol?
The Youth Development System in Spain is second to none, Spanish Coaches are tactical and in LaLiga teams are comfortable in possession, they pride in technical ability, and it is one of the leagues that still promote a lot of player expression. The scary thing about this Spanish Team is that I have no doubt between now and World Cup 2016 they'll find some new Spanish Talent. Their Youth System is unbelievable. I always say that a league plays a part in how the national team plays. You can literally dip your hand in every LaLiga Club and Find a proper midfielder. It is just their style, their way, it is how they do things. Great from Sid on Spain.
I hate the way this guy says Nico, it’s Neeeco
It will never come home because spainish football is more superior than english football, the epl and english football are overhyped and overated, england are the biggest failure in the history of football.
