Spain

Spanish soccer has gone beyond simply competing at the highest levels and winning consistently. This is a team that has helped reinvent the very fabric of the sport as we understand it. Los Toros perfected a brand of soccer – commonly referred to as tiki-taka – whose passing, movement and patience unhinged the traditional tactics of the modern game and forced players, coaches and teams to adjust and rethink at every stage. Those in the shirts and jerseys of Spain are maestros of the sport, masters of the ball and controllers of the game. Their unity and understanding of soccer’s intricacies will influence the sport for decades to come.
