As well as, the group led by Jorge Vilda arrives at this World Cup in an unprecedented scenario. 4 years in the past, in France, she got here because the thirteenth on the earth rating and now she does in order the sixth, an enchancment that has served her primarily to have the ability to be seeded and have a theoretically extra reasonably priced draw than that of earlier participations.
The Spaniards are framed in Group C together with a stage group like Japan, champion in 2011 and runner-up in 2015, a harmful rookie like Zambia and Costa Rica, rival for the premiere this Friday, July 21 because it was in 2015.

These final two didn’t return till 2023, whereas Bonmati, Caldentey and Batlle, amongst others, have been able to return earlier than Vilda gave the pre-list for this World Cup they usually have been referred to as up. Not so two gamers of a excessive stage and troublesome to switch, such because the Aragonese center-back or the Balearic midfielder, whose absence ought to attempt to make us neglect a group that was aggressive in its preparation with out these 15 gamers, with just one loss, in opposition to Australia, and a win by advantage and historical past earlier than the USA.
