da realsbet： Spain are currently the greatest football team in the world. The 2010 World Cup winners boast Barcelona stars Xavi, Andres Iniesta and David Villa in their team amongst others, while they also draw on talent in the Premier League. Liverpool’s Fernando Torres regularly makes the first eleven, but Arsenal star Cesc Fabregas often has to make do with a place on the bench. They also boast a pretty good foosball team, too!
da fezbet： Even though foosball is popular all over the world, most people don’t know it’s history. Invented in Spain, foosball means more to the Spaniards than you can possibly imagine, and the most passionate fans live in Madrid. So we met with the Spanish National Foosbal Team in one of their daily training sessions at a popular bar that is basically their second home. Here, we hung out with this elite team of wrist flickers whose goal is not only to keep the game alive in the country, but also to be the best in the world. Drawing inspiration from Spain’s own victories in soccer, and with the help of Spanish Champion Jorge Gomez and the rest of the Spanish team, we went to find out what fuels these guys to make it to the top.
