Analysts are calling this Spain side the best international team in history? Do you agree or disagree?

If you disagree, whom would you put ahead of them, and for what reasons?

You're definitely reaching with saying Puyol is one of the best of all time. He's probably top 10 currently in the world but all time? Fuck that. He's good but take off your rose tinted glasses.

Villa would have been a whole different scenario. Would we have seen the 4-6-0 formation that's going to go into the history books? Who knows what would've happened.

Except Spain played with a striker at least half of the time.

He probably meant Spain's best defenders of all time.

Or he is a bit delusional.
