Spain road to Russia 2018 World Cup
The Spanish squad is back with a vengeance! The 6th best team in FIFA's world rankings has overcome the terrible predicament of its Brazil World Cup and European Championship performances and regaining the respect of the international community with an outstanding run during the qualifying stages. A bold and intuitive strategy by coach Julien Lopetegui that mixed both veteran and rising stars in varying positions has succeeded in dumbfounding their competition and secured for La Roja a fresh new start ahead of the 2018 Russia World Cup.

The blitzkrieg type assault that belittled a confused Italian squad in September of last year was joined by colossal 8-0 defeat for tiny Liechtenstein during an amazing preemptory run for the Russia 2018 World Cup ticket. Lopetegui's team achieved an impressive 36 total goals during this stage while only allowing 3 instances to their rivals. Chiellini and his team appeared baffled before a boisterous Spain led by Real Madrid's midfielder Isco, who sent the ball twice within the Azzurri's net, joined by Morata's third to put the ribbon on a victory worth of history annals. More recently, the Spanish beat Israel 1-0 to finish on top of their group; they were also able to put a stop to the German machine with a goalless score in a friendly match, while crushing Argentina 6-1 back on March of the present year. They will match strengths with Tunisia and Switzerland in June to complete their training work before the Russian conclave.
Group B will offer a good blend of powerful soccer demonstrations alongside some decent junior matches for Spain, and their showdown with Portugal promises to be one of the most exciting and attractive confrontations of the entire competition. The additional two teams in the party are Morocco and Iran, who face insurmountable odds before the well-established European titans. The Spanish/Portuguese duel will be the first of the bunch, taking place on June 15th, while the Persians will take their turn on the 20th followed by the North Africans on the 25th. Even though Lopetegui's recent grabbing of the coach post raised some serious concerns for the future of his team, he's clearly proven the effectiveness of his tactics and will now be able to put his skills to the ultimate test.
Spain Key Players
With the happy return of Sergio Busquets to the playing field -after recovering from a foot injury- the Spanish defense will gain extra blockage power, that added to the intense and deadly combination of David Silva and Francisco Roman Alarcon "Isco" on the front, Spain will be very difficult to overcome; Jordi Alba's support can also be counted on for positive results. The Roja will also make use of defensive keys Dani Carvajal, Sergio Ramos, Marcos alonso and Gerard Pique, who was the subject of very unkind bashing during practice time at the hands of the local fan base amidst tensions caused by the Catalonian Independence bid. David De Gea and Pepe Reina will provide their usual talents to the goal line.
Spain has shown tremendous control of the ball and their attacking power is without comparison; they're highly positioned within the World Cup betting odds charts around the planet, with prices that range between 6 and 10 to 1 odds. They occupy the fourth spot only below Brazil, Germany and France. Whatever Lopetegui's final line up picks should be, the whole world audience will pay very close attention.
