I think it's less of a tactical football and more of a management sort of football.

But then

his broad players that they have been playing together since they were 17 in the youth rank of the Spain national team.

And I think that this has given Spain an edge tactically without not even needing to train a lot.

They know how to play and they know how to play more as a team than any other national team has done in this World Cup because they just know each other, they trust each other.

And I think it's part of the Spain DNA as well, the way that they play and the way that they approach the

the game in a hole.

I think, I mean, the one in 2010, I'm going to give more credit to that one because it was the first one.

And in a way, it helped this generation just to keep believing and just to believe in Spain that they can be among the greatest national teams in the world.

But this one, as I was saying, this is a less talented team, in my opinion, or a less rounded team than this generation was.

And in the way that De La Fuente has managed them, for me, it's impressive.

As I was saying, there's a spark of luck because if we look at the injuries that they've had from opposition players, I've seen a lot of comments in social media because they had Courtois injured, they had Nuno Mendes injured, they've had Lissandro Martinez and Kuti Romero and other players injured and Saliba against France.

But just let that alone.

They've been the better team against any side that they faced.

And yeah, they just look like a step above.

all the other teams.

And that gives you a lot of resembles and a lot of parallels to that 2010 team.

Thank you very much.

I just can't wait to be back, guys.
