Thank you!

Iker is my favorite because when I started really getting into soccer was when he was called up to the first team in Real and then the national team. Plus I love that icon because he always seems to be approving everything.

thanks for the thread Nikki.
Although I am Brazilian, I was supporting La Furia in the Confederations Cup because I am not happy with Brazilian NT for a long time and I love many of the players on Spain.
