Hi there
So I let some time pass before commenting on Spain's 3 - 0 loss to Brazil at the Confederations Cup. It was a well deserved win by Brazil and it exposed some weaknesses in the Spanish team, but I will put it in the context it belongs. In 2009, Spain lost to the US early on in the same tournament and yet went on to win the 2010 World Cup. In recent memory, no winner of the Confederations Cup has go on to win the World Cup in the following year... this can probably be explained for many reasons but that isn't the point for me. Spain will recover, they have a very deep roster of players they can choose from and this tournament will have hopefully helped the coach adjust his game plan and roster and realize that some younger players have to be brought it. Not to mention, time to find a viable central forward that can put pressure on the opponents' back line. No one can go undefeated all the time and if Spain were to lose, better to do so now than next summer when
