Spain European & World Champs in Football

Rafael Nadal World No. 1 in Tennis with 10 grand slams at 25.

Spanish Basketball Team No. 2 in the World. Current European Champs.

Best football club in the world in FC Barçelona (with probably the best youth academy in La Masia)

Jorge Lorenzo current MotoGP World Champion.

Alberto Contador current Tour de France & Giro d'Italia winner.

Fernando Alonso ranked 2nd in last years F1 season.

They must be doing something right down there.

Well at least they are fecked financially. :devil:
 
Pau Gasol - won 2 NBA Championships with the Lakers in the last three years.
 
Yup they've been winning a lot for the last few years. It's a good time to be Spanish.
 
Spanish basketball sensation is playing for the Timberwolves next season. If he is as good as they say he is, the T-Wolves could be a dark horse in the conference with Kevin Love and Rubio.
 
Contador is a very dodgy one to add to the list.

Lets hope Djokovic doesn't get to the final in order to keep Nadal at No. 1
 
Barcelona won Ciudad Real in the Handball Champions League. So they are the best there as well. Their national team is not that good anymore though.
 
Rejoice! Their cricket team is pants!

And the greatest cheater of all time in cross-country skiing, Johann Mühlegg, competed for Spain. A complete unadulterated bastard.
