Until 20 years ago, the Spanish national team identified themselves as “La Furia Española” (‘The Spanish Fury’). It embodied the style Spain wanted to play — tough-tackling, with fast and lively transitional football.

Luis Aragones changed that after his appointment as Spain coach in 2004.

He decided the team needed to be based around a different type of player given the quality at his disposal.

He left out the country’s most popular player, Real Madrid captain Raul in 2008, and made Barcelona midfielder Xavi the conductor of his fluid and possession-oriented style. Xavi was surrounded with equally technical and skilful players such as Andres Iniesta, Cesc Fabregas and David Silva.

That decision to go from La Furia to tiny technicians produced instant success.

Spain won the 2008 European Championship and followed it up with that World Cup win two years later, along with the 2012 Euros (the latter two were won under Aragones’ successor Vicente del Bosque). When Spain lifted the World Cup in 2010, they did so with seven players from Barcelona, more than any other side.

Spain's 2026 World Cup win heralds a new golden era for Spanish football — one that follows a similar pattern to what made the national team world beaters the first time they lifted the trophy in 2010.

Eight players in Luis de la Fuente’s squad play for Barcelona.

Losing to Argentina is more damning on Tuchel than defeat v Croatia/Italy/Spain are on Southgate.
Those three nations were better than England, Argentina were not.

But they looked it after Tuchel’s change to a back five, we hired him to do the opposite.

Good take

[Michael Owen @themichaelowen]

Watch Spain at 1-0 last night. That’s courage. That’s bravery. And then watch England at 1-0. What’s the difference?
We are a better team than Argentina, I’ve no doubt in my mind. But we deserved to get beat in the end. In fact, it could have been 4-1.
Bringing on 3 defenders at 1-0 up. What message does that send? I wrote it in my Daily Mail column after the Mexico game. Until we understand that courage and bravery is controlling possession under pressure and not booting / heading it up the field 40 yards then this will always be the end result.

You can’t script this 🤯

Nearly 20 years after Lionel Messi held a baby Lamine Yamal in a Barcelona charity photoshoot… they will meet again on the biggest stage of all.

[Bhambiri @Bhambhiri]

So poor

[CBS Sports Golazo ⚽️ @CBSSportsGolazo]

England had just 12% possession between their opener in the 55th minute and Argentina’s 92nd minute winner 😳
