The pundits praise them because they play "beautiful football" which personally bores the hell out of me because all they do all game is pass it to each other in the midfield.
It does look like Spain's time at the top may be closing to an end though since their "A" Squad has lost to Switzerland, Portugal, Argentina and tied Mexico within the last 10 months.

Thats the new 'greatest way to play.' Didnt you know?
I personally hate it, but I guess you have to admit that its effective.

they are the definition of why international football doesn't match club football, all the talent in the world and they play every game like Wolverhampton on the road

You realize that Spain are basically a club team. Spain are Barcelona with Casillas and Xabi Alonso.
Personally, I love international matches and think they're far superior to club competitions. But then I dont tend to watch crappy teams.
Crappy teams are crappy teams, whether they belong to a country or an independent owner.
