Spain At The World Cup For All Times

Spain finds itself facing fellow European countrymen Germany who based on bragging rights are senior stalwarts of the World Cup, tournaments as well, Japan, and Costa Rica in Group E.

Regardless of who is above the other, both teams are the favorites to move to the next rounds. Below is a table showing Spain’s World Cup All Time Records:

Spain Fifa World Cup 2022 Squad

The Spanish football team may be without the greats that were crowned as 2010 Kings of the World Of Soccer, but best believe that it does not in any way undermine the current abilities of the current squad. There are still a handful of players with experience in the side, mixed with a blend of new breeds who are all capable of causing damage to any team in the World Cup. Spain has found it difficult to replicate their outing in 2010, despite having fielded a world-class team in the past. Pending the final shortlist of players, Coach Enrique has the likes of Carvajal, Busquets, Morata, Ramos, Azplicueta, and Alba who all bring to the table a vast level of experience to the side. The Spaniards are expected to play a tick-tack passing system of football which will be controlled from the midfield, and may even play with a false 9 if they have to. The downside of this squad is that they are miles apart from what the world used to know, when Spain is mentioned in football, the shoes left for them to fill may be too big, and if they are not careful, may suffer a shocking outing.

Spain's Chances At The World Cup 2022

Only 4 teams are tipped with lower odds than Spain to win the Qatar 2022 FIFA World Cup. There are loads of bookmakers who have pegged Spain’s outright win of the World Cup at 8.90 odds, making them top five amongst the clear favorites. The team's last outing during the UEFA Nations League, was somewhat impressive, as they were runners-up in the tournament. The Spanish side has what it takes to have a splendid World Cup feature this year, regardless of the fact the German national side occupies the same Group as Spain. Based on the permutations on paper, Spain will make it through from the group stage and is tipped to do great things at this year’s Qatar 2022 FIFA World Cup.
