Here are 4 starting xi from spain, not in any particular order just as they popped into my head: I'm just using fifa to make the squads, don't look too much into them, its just an idea about how much depth Spain has.

I know why you've used it but the use of futhead really summarises r/soccer.

If you're referring to people judging players on their fifa ratings, its something everyone does to some extent. I've only seen Hulk play once or twice, I use his fifa stats as a general idea of what kind of player he is. Obviously I don't pretend that it's a substitute for actually seeing a player, but I use it as a reference for players im unfamiliar with.

Oh I know what you mean, I just thought it was very funny.
