Waka Waka Spain!

I want Spain to win the World Cup! Reason? It is quite useless to evaluate teams on the basis of technique. I could easily get away with not having a good reason for Spain being my favorite. But they are the European champions so why not world champs?

I want Spain to win the World Cup! Reason? They have never gone beyond the semi finals in World Cup history and they are the European champions so why not world champs?

It is quite useless to evaluate teams on the basis of technique. Like cricket anything can happen in football.  How many times have we seen the predictions of cricket analysts proving to be as reliable as weather updates from the MET office. I could easily get away with not having a good reason for Spain being my favorite. After all this has been an upsetting World Cup. Ghana, Argentina and even Brazil….so much for technique based pre-tournament predictions.

Sport is speculative business and I don’t blame people who like to gamble over sport. Spain's win against Paraguay in the quarter final may have began as dull and drab but ended up quite remarkably. Before the match between his team and Spai's Paraguay’s football coach Gerardo Martino said:

“But you see in this kind of tournament, it's not just who plays better, but who has the heart, who has the stamina, the wish, who has the fighting spirit and it can come down to one scoring opportunity."

Hence, Waka Waka Spain!
