HawK Posted December 2, 2022 Share Posted December 2, 2022 15 minutes ago, 54 said: I've often wondered what would happen if a biggish nation like England when to consolidate all their best players at one club in a domestic setup like the Premier League, employing the same manager as the club in question, how they'd get on in the World Cup. The closest you'd get to this is Athletic Bilbao, they have a few exceptions where some players went to play for France, and now Inaki is playing for Ghana. They'd probably do more than alright in the WC as 'Spain'. Better? Not sure, Spain have been exceptional for over a decade now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
HawK Posted December 2, 2022 Share Posted December 2, 2022 It would be interesting from a footballing aspect if Spain devolved Pais Vasco to the point where they'd be recognised by FIFA and they formed a football federation that just elected Athletic as the defacto national team. Might help Bilbao keep their players if it's a route to their new 'national team', and they compete domestically and internationally. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have watched almost every game in this world cup, and can honestly say - our football is better. I watch KDB walking aimlessly round. Spain passing backwards all day. All the football is so safe. No runners. No forward passes. All about keeping shape. Even Saka and Trippier weren't working because Trippier is on our wave length. Saka wasn't making any Almiron runs. So, im summary. Newcastle is the best team in the world. We are so well coached. I appreciate the work Almiron, Longstaff, Willock, Big Joe, Wilson et al do so much more now. They give everything. They are constantly moving. And its all down to our boss man. I thought Japan's high press which has served them well is similar to ours but obviously without the quality we've got.
