Spain is my life. España es mi vida. Which ever way you want to put a spin on it, or whatever language you say it in, it doesn’t take away from the fact that it describes me perfectly.
I’m Anthony, a Spaniard by blood and birth, now living in Canada. When I saw [...]

Well, my voice is back, my nerves have calmed and my migraine is gone. What a game! We have a little time now to reflect on matchday 8 and La Furia Roja.

5 Things we have learned about matchday 8:
1) Villa is GOD! That wicked golazo at the end. That beautiful flick between [...]

OK another very cool Nike advert….
Kinda freaky tattoo rock and roll kinda thing with Iniesta, Cesc, Puyol, Ramos and Torres.
Tattooing slogans about what the press said about them at different euros or world cup tournaments…
Poking fun at the underachievers title. Translation below.

* Luis Aragones is trying to keep the pressure off the team. They have trained and prepared behind closed doors. Today’s schedule included light training, gym work, and the spa. Sounds very relaxing.
* Luis admitted to the Spanish press that the defense is our weak spot. We’re no Italy, but he says [...]

Hi Guys, I’m here to help out my home boys Ryan and Cesar with the Spain World Cup Blog.
Ready and willing to give you, up to the minute info on our favorite underachievers, but cute as a button, La Furia Roja.
Let’s start if off with some fun stuff that I stumbled on while [...]

Fernando Torres might have finished the season with Liverpool trophyless, but he’s in damn fine form. El Nino was the main man as Rafa Benitez’s Liverpool beat Juande Ramos’ Spurs (is this the Premiership or La Liga?) 2-0. He made the first with a flick on to Andriy Voronin and then turned Michael Dawson inside [...]

In anticipation of this year’s Euro 2008, I thought it’d be illuminating to look at the history of La Furia Roja, who’ve underachieved time and time again.
Their best finish ever at the World Cup was 4th place in 1950.
