Not to confuse you or myself for that matter, this post tackles two topics: the Spanish 2nd team and its 10-0 thrashing of Tahiti.

THE WAY I SEE IT
No offence but why would you be selected to play against Tahiti? Simple, you were not good enough for selection against Uruguay and maybe even Nigeria. I would evaluate myself if I was chosen to play against Tahiti.
However, it was inevitable for Spain to thrash Tahiti 10-0. A team ranked 1st against a team ranked 138th - what did you expect?
Egotistically, Fernando Torres said on his Spain return: "I have been playing 10 years for the national team so (I have) nothing to prove. I am not a kid".
Well Torres, you were relegated to the 2nd team, of course you have something to prove. I guess your Chelsea misfiring days put you in this position, but proving yourself in a match against Tahiti is just pitiful, and you boasting about it just shows how ridiculous you sound.
PS. Bill Shankly
Moving along, imagine if the 1st team was playing, then there would have been a possibility that the result would've been colossal, I mean bigger than 10-0. They could've beaten their 13-0 record. 10 goals scored, and not one of them a screamer or contender for goal of the tournament.
Maybe there is no 1st and 2nd team. Maybe Vincente del Bosque just wanted all his footballers to get some game time.
Just think about it.
