Twist in the tale

The snapshot of the 11 best members of football varsity, carrying the brand of FIFA and comprising of all individuals of Spanish giants is still quite vivid in my mind map.No human is going to question the agility and skills of these great giants of Blaugranas and Los Blancos but something altered the course of thought of every individual on this planet. Something that will remain etched on the memory of every fan. Something that has been recorded in the black books and can nohow be removed. Something that flooded the wall of every facebook user with indelible trolls. So what happened that questioned the dominance of those who used to rule the roost of world football. The answer to this question in not elusive.

The annihilation of Barcelona and Real Madrid by German giants in the knock out clash of the most prestigious competition of the Europe might answer this query. A thumping defeat in a 9 goal thriller over the period of two days in which the mighty Spaniards were able to make the ball see the net only once. The echo of these successive defeats were heard in every corner of the world and this culminated with an elephantine question over the selection of world 11 by FIFA. Considering the fact that Chelsea and Bayern were the two   seeing the berth of Champions league final last year and the year before the red devils secured the spot.

If points tally or goals scored  are considered a criterion, there is not much disparity between the Spanish and German sides. The nourishment of youth is unparalleled in Bundesliga as compared to that on the Spanish turf. Blaugranas acclaimed youth foundation, La Mesia even failed to witness the quarter final of Next gen series. Talking of the Euro and World cups win by Spain, I have a dark shadow of doubt as CR7, the great great lio, Columbian forward Radamel and Brazilian right back made it through this mesmerizing squad but the irony is that these legends do not leg the ball for Spanish herd. This is the dilemma of many fans throughout the world as to why the mighty Lahm, Hummels, Robben, Ribbery, Muller can not make their way through a squad in which Pique and Alba squared their ways.

My question to FIFA is quite vivid, is there the need to engineer a world 11 every year when questions are being raised on your officiating every other day and even if you want to feel nostalgic about the performance of the dribblers or shielders, then start loving and respecting English and German football in the same way as the Spanish because they also know the skills of the game and they have demonstrated the same on front of your Spanish clubs by clobbering them.
