A treble for Spain?

May 10th, 2006 | By: Ian | 4 Comments »

FC Sevilla has opened the door for the country of Spain. What are the odds of the same country winning the UEFA Cup, the Champions League and the World Cup all in the same year? I’m no oddsmaker, but I’d guess about a kazillion to one.

Regardless, it’s a possibility for Spain in 2006. Sevilla blew away Middlesbrough on Wednesday to win the UEFA Cup final 4-0. A week from today, Barcelona will look to prove Spain is superior to England again when it faces Arsenal. Then next month, Spain begins it’s World Cup campaign.

Back in 1990, it was a special year for Italy, which almost accomplished the feat. AC Milan won the Champions League, Juventus won the UEFA Cup, but Italy’s national team settled for third place at the World Cup finals.

It would be quite a statement for the country of Spain to win all three — and prove that it not only has the best clubs in the world, but also the best national team in the world.

The odds of winning all of them? For Argentina and Brazil, is pretty impossible. But i got a plan. Both Argentina and Brazil ask Monaco to give each country soveraignity over 1 block. We can trade it for something. Then, we join the European Union, and then, we’ll win them all year after year after world cup after etc etc. Doable
