La Roja en la copa del mundo

La Roja in the World Cup"The exploits and failures, the lights and the shadows, the few joys and the enormous disappointments that the Spanish team has provided in its participation in the World Cup are reflected in this work full of facts, data and anecdotes that make it of great interest to the reader. From the 'Battle of Florence' lost to Italy in the 1934 World Cup, to the disappointment of a team that was being formed in Germany 2006. Going through the epic triumph against England in Brazil 1950, the failure of the 'UN team' in Chile 1962 and that of the Europa champions in England 1966, the coldness it left in Argentina 1978, and the great setback in 'its' World Cup 1982, the worst host of the whole story. The gallant performance in Mexico 1986, the weakness he showed in Italy 1990, the wonderful work in the USA 1994, the unmitigated failure in France 1998 and the great missed opportunity in Korea/Japan 2002. The work not only collects the final phase of the World Cups, but also the qualification phase and other important tournaments, thus establishing a common thread that allows global monitoring of the history of the Spanish national team, from its first international appearance sealed with the feat of the Antwerp 1920 Olympic Games, to its most brilliant title, the 2008 European Championship. All this seasoned with a large number of files and tables. Another great novelty of this book is to place the team and the World Cup in the context of political history. social of Spain."
