U.S. service members assigned to Naval Station Rota, Spain were able to raise the U.S. flag aboard the Spanish Naval Base July 4 with special permission from the Spanish base commander.
U.S. Naval Station Rota is only permitted to fly the U.S. flag with specific permission from the Spanish base commander-in-chief due to the restrictions set in the Agreement on Defense Cooperation (ADC), the govern-ing document between the United States and the Kingdom of Spain.
Hundreds of service members representing the Navy, Marine Corps, Air Force and Army participated in the flag-raising ceremony.
“An event like this, held but once a year, speaks directly to the patriotism of each and
every one of you - military and civilian alike,” said Capt. Scott Kraverath, Naval Station Rota, Spain commanding officer.
Kraverath added that it is extremely rare to have an opportunity to fly the 15-star flag.
The 15-star flag was used from 1795 to 1818, flying during five presidencies. In 1818, congress proclaimed that one star for each new state would be added on the Fourth of July following the state's admission to the union and there would be 13 stripes repre-senting the 13 original colonies.
“I love to see our nation’s flag flying, no matter the location,” said Boatswain’s Mate 2nd Class Paul Lembo. “It’s extra special to be here for the 200th anniversary of the
War of 1812 and see the 15-star flag flying. This is definitely something that I will always remember.”
From 2012 through 2015, the U.S. Navy, Marine Corps, Coast Guard and Army are commemorating the Bicentennial of the War of 1812 and “The Star-Spangled Banner.” The Navy has partnered with the International Council of Air Shows, the Navy League, the Naval Historical Foundation, and Operation Sail (OpSail) to create world-class events around the country, with signature events in New York, Baltimore, Norfolk, New Orleans, Boston, Chicago, and Cleveland and smaller events in other cities during 2012.
This was the first time Naval Station Rota has flown the 15-star flag.

Team Rota, First off, I want to thank all of you for doing such a
wonderful job in responsibly celebrating our nation’s Independence Day this past weekend. We had zero major misconduct incidents and we all made it to home and work safely.
Thank you to the many people who volunteered their time to make the Independence Day flag-raising celebration and festivities such a success. It was an awesome display of our teamwork.
If there is one attribute I had to pick above all others of this outstanding Naval Station, I would
say teamwork is what we do best. As Commander, Navy Installations Com-mand (CNIC) Vice Adm. William French said dur-ing his recent visit, Rota embodies the three key principles of the Chief of Naval Operations' Sailing Directions, warfighting first, operating forward and be-
ing ready. All of which demonstrate the highest level of teamwork and cohesion.
All around the base, people are working together to meet the mission, keep us safe and healthy and give us a great quality of life.
Explosive Ordnance Disposal Mobile Unit (EODMU) 8 routinely sends Sailors into harm’s way protecting warfighters around the theater. Combined Task Force (CTF) 68 has more than a thousand people conduct-ing operations throughout their area of responsibility.
The Marine Corps Fleet Anti-Terrorist Security Team (FAST) Company Europe is always on ready call to be sent anywhere in theater to protect American interests.
The Air Force works with Air Operations to ensure that all aircraft coming through Rota receive outstand-ing service and support; recently ‘air ops’ was called one of the best in the Navy.
It’s not all tip-of-the-spear military operations that make Rota work so well. Tenant commands like Na-val Hospital Rota, the American Forces Network and Naval Computer and Telecommunications Area Master Station Atlantic Det. Rota are working to ensure we’re healthy, well informed and connected. Moral, Welfare
and Recreation, the Fleet and Family Support Cen-ter, Navy Federal Credit Union, the Navy Exchange, Navy Lodge, Navy Gateway Inns and Suites and the Gateway Galley make it their mission to deliver us the best quality of life possible while living so far from the States.
I’ve only mentioned a few units making it happen aboard the Naval Station. I wish I could mention all of you, but know that I appreciate all of you. And I know that it takes every person doing their job to make Rota work as well at it does.
No single unit aboard Rota could do its job without working with and relying upon multiple other agencies right here. Nobody’s mission is more important than another’s. We’re all here supporting the mission and making Rota the best base in the theater. Keep up the great teamwork.
Lastly but definitely not least, I want to reiterate the importance of making smart and safe decision on and off-duty. It is the peak of the summer season in Southern Spain, therefore a lot of you will be spend-ing a significant amount of time on the beach or do-ing recreational activities. Please remember to use sunscreen, drink plenty of fluids (preferably water) and have a plan when you plan to go out drinking. The most important thing is your safety, so I urge all of you to keep in that in mind.

More than 26 teens joined the workforce aboard Naval Station Rota, Spain as part of the teen summer hire program, which began June 18.
The teen summer hire program is an 11-week program that employs teens at various operational facilities on base. Any 14 - 18-year-old dependent of a DoD employee or active duty service member may participate in the program.
“I hope to give the teens a meaningful work expe-rience and career skills for their future,” said Tiffany Seelbach, Rota's teen summer hire program coordi-
nator. “This program will prepare teens for their future in a career of their choice."
During the first three weeks, teens were given the opportunity to receive first-hand experience and on the job training from active duty service members and DoD civilians.
“We try to make sure that the teens earn life skills before they go to college or join the job force,” said Davisen Poorcelan, school age care coordinator and supervisor for the teen summer hire program. “I want them to take away [a positive] learning experience and
to have fun, and use this as a tool for their future.”For the remaining eight weeks, the teens will be
writing articles, taking photographs, learning organi-zational skills, participating in base-wide events and providing support to the Naval Station Rota commu-nity in preparation for their final presentation.
“I’d like to take the experiences from this job and transfer them to other future jobs, ” said Tristan De-tore, assistant youth sports teen summer hire. “The program gives me a chance to learn, make [some] extra money and [gain] life lessons.”

The 11th Quadrennial Review of Military Compensa-tion recommends changes to combat pay and changes to special and incentive pays while saying current military pay rates are about right.
Tom Bush, the study’s director, said the review also recommended further study of compensation of wounded warriors and their caregivers, for survivors, and making compensation for reserve-component service members consistent.
Bush and Jeri Busch, the Pentagon’s director of military compensation policy, spoke with reporters and stressed that the review’s findings are recom-mendations. While some of the recommendations may become reality, they said, the review - convened by President Barack Obama - is meant to inform White House, congressional and Defense Department leaders.
The review found that military compensation compares favorably against private-sector pay, Bush said. Enlisted pay is at the 90th percentile of overall pay meaning it is ahead of 90 percent of comparable civilian workers’ pay. The review graphed enlisted regular military compensation against civilians with high school diplomas, civilians with some college and civilians with associate’s degrees. Service members do better than these comparable civilians at any point in a 20-year career, the study found.
Commissioned officers’ regular military compensa-tion is higher than that of 83 percent of civilians with bachelor’s and master’s degrees.
The review recommends an overhaul of combat compensation, Bush said. The review recommends setting hostile-fire pay higher than imminent danger
pay and having more than one level of imminent-dan-ger pay to reflect varying levels of danger in different locations authorized for the pay.
A QRMC survey of service members indicate that they believe combat compensation is unfair, Bush said, noting that the longer service members are in the military, the better the benefit is for them. Because they receive higher pay than junior personnel, senior service members receive more benefit from the combat zone tax exclusion for military pay. The vast majority of those under fire are junior personnel - both officer and enlisted - who do not benefit as much from the tax exemption, Bush said.
The review also recommends replacing the combat zone tax exclusion with a refundable tax credit, Bush said. “Even if their tax bill is zero, they are going to get that credit back if it is refundable,” he added. The combat tax credit would be linked to coming under hostile fire, Bush explained.
Another suggestion from the review is a direct-support tax credit linked to imminent danger pay. “We would also suggest that the tax credit … be prorated,” Bush said. “If you are not in the zone, if you are not exposed to danger, you don’t get it.”
The review also recommends an annual recerti-fication of combat zones, which are designated by presidential executive order, in the same manner as declaration of a state of emergency.
The review also delved into pay incentives such as bonuses and monthly incentive pays the services use to manage particularly vital career fields. For example, nuclear officers, aviators and some military medical personnel receive special pay. The review
recommends establishing a general career incentive pay authority that isn’t linked to specific career fields such as aviation or medicine, but could be tailored to grow or shrink as circumstances warrant.
President Barack Obama’s letter of instruction on the review panel’s mission specifically cited four examples: special operations forces, remotely piloted vehicle operators, linguists and translators, and men-tal health experts, Bush said. The QRMC is looking whether an authority exists to offer a career incentive pay that can be applied to any career field deemed critical. The review recommends that rather than just asking for another special pay category, the Defense Department would have the authority to pay anyone - cryptanalysts, for example - when needed, Bush said. This would require legislation, he added.
The review also made recommendations on wounded warriors and their caregivers, and for survi-vors. The review found that wounded warriors are well provided for financially, and recommends continued study of wounded warriors’ earnings and disability payments to monitor long-term financial well-being. Another recommendation looks to create a seamless transition between the Defense and Veterans Affairs departments for service members leaving the military.
The review revealed that DoD and VA need more empirical data on the financial situation of wounded warriors’ caregivers, and the report recommends more study of this.
Finally, the review recommends modifying the survivor benefit plan to allow surviving spouses to re-ceive the portion of the SBP annuity funded by retiree premiums.

In the dermatology department we are often asked about aging, wrinkles, and sunscreens: which is best? How to get rid of this dark spot? Will you look at this mole? Etcetera.
So we think as we enter the deep days of summer it’s a good time to learn about Ultraviolet Radiation, known as “UVR,” and its effects on the skin. Unfortunately, this entails a small lesson in physics and biology, two of my personal favorite subjects. However, we know this is not a shared interest … so we will try to stay brief. SolarRadiation
First off, the radiation that hits the earth’s surface from our sun is divided into bands that are given names. The most important for us is the radiation that our eyes use to see with. This is called the “visible band” or “visible spectrum.” The visible spectrum represents a very small portion of the larger radiation spectrum.
The ultraviolet spectrum (UV) is near the visible spectrum. However, the UV spectrum is not visible. So even on a cloudy day you may be receiving a lot of UV radiation and not be able to see it.
It is typically the ultraviolet or “UV” spectrum that we worry about regarding sun exposure, sunburns and skin cancer.
Ultraviolet Radiation (UVR) is further divided into UV-A, UV-B, and UV-C bands.
Much of UV-B, and almost all UV-C, are blocked by the ozone high in the atmosphere and don’t reach the earth … that’s good! The UV-B that reaches the earth causes sun-burns. Why is this important? Because if the atmosphere can block UV-B … then the more the light has to travel through the atmosphere (the longer the path travelled), the safer it is for us. However, at noon the sun is directly over-head, and the pathway through the atmosphere is shortest, and this is when most of the UV-B hits the earth … and when we get most sunburns.
UV-B cannot penetrate our skin deeply, but it is able to penetrate through the upper part of the skin, the epidermis. When the UV-B hits the DNA in our skin cells it often breaks the DNA in the nucleus. It also generates free radicals, which are charged particles that damage healthy skin. This is very bad if it happens when the cell is dividing (mitosis). This is how cancers are started. More importantly, most skin cancers arise in the superficial epidermis of the skin and are thought to be more related to UV-B penetration.
Luckily, UV-B is fairly easily blocked by a sunscreen with high SPF and with clothing, so that’s why sunscreen, sun-glasses and a hat are important because they protect against skin cancer and oxidative/free radical damage.
UV-A penetrates much deeper than UV-B and is thought to be more related to aging and damage of the deeper struc-tures of the skin, like collagen. UV-A is now thought to also be related to melanoma development.Sowhatisatan?
UV-B exposure causes an increase in skin thickness and pigmentation (darkening). It occurs fairly slowly. UV-B induces a response by our bodies to help prevent further sun damage. UV-A on the other hand, causes an immediate oxidation in the melanin that already exists, so we darken immediately. So to summarize, UV-A (tanning bed tan) oxi-dizes the pigment you already have, causing an immediate darkening that doesn’t last. UV-B induces more pigment production and causes a longer lasting tan. Going outside at midday gives both high UV-B and high UV-A. Whatisagingthen?
Well there are many aspects to aging. First of all, our cells are pre programmed to die. That’s why no one really lives past 100 years old. This currently cannot be changed. This includes the skin of our face, sorry.
Second, the bone in our bodies (and faces) along with our muscles are constantly changing and remodeling as well. This can also not readily be changed dramatically; it is a part of normal aging sorry again.
Fat is also redistributed. Children have nice round cheru-
bic faces. However, as we age our fat is lost on the cheeks, in the temples, and around the mouth and lips … and, unfor-tunately, often gained elsewhere. This leads to volume loss, the formation of jowls, and those wrinkles around the mouth.
The skin has components called elastin and collagen. The collagen gives the strength to the skin … it is what “leather” is made of. The elastin is what gives skin its ability to stretch and then come back. As we age we lose more elastin and collagen than we make … this leads to wrinkles and loss of skin elasticity.
Then there is skin discoloration, called dyschromia. Spots, freckles and lentigos are caused from sun damage. Also, the permanent redness on the upper chest, cheeks and lateral neck are signs of sun damage.
Lastly, there is the ability of our bodies to heal damage. Smoking greatly decreases our repair abilities. That is why smokers have more wrinkles on their faces, larger pores, and courser skin. Yet sun-protected areas appear remarkably ‘not too different’ from non-smokers their own age … because smoking decreases the ability of the body to repair itself.
Important: it is the dyschromia, elastin and collagen damage where skin protection can make a real difference. Because sunscreens, hats and clothing all block UV-B and UV-A well. We know that normal aging slows the generation of elastin and collagen, so why worsen this by damaging your skin with too much sun. You can tip the scale back in your favor by protecting the skin you have, and the new skin components your body is making, even as you age.
Additionally, eating a diet with adequate anti-oxidants may also help ameliorate sun damage to a small extent. As a matter of fact, certain plant foods like green tea actually have a skin protection effect from UV-B damage. That is why a cup of green tea is a good idea before and after a day in the sun. There are more sun protective foods as well … but I’ll save that for another day. But as you can now see, this is but a small part of the big picture … but possibly an important part nonetheless.
Lastly, If you look at your own back and compare it to your buttock (sun-protected skin), you’ll see the difference that sun protection makes. Protected skin looks good, the color is homogenous, shows fewer wrinkles and displays more ‘elastic recoil’ ability. BottomLine
- Aging is inevitable … it’s coming sure as tomorrow's sun. But you can help prevent early aging. More importantly, you can help look your best for your age.
- Use a sunscreen with SPF of 30 or higher, especially on your face, neck, upper chest, back of the hands and forearms.
- Remember that UV-B is highest from 10 a.m. - 3 p.m. when the sun is overhead, which seems to be forever here in our region.
- Choose a sunscreen that states it blocks UV-A as well. Remember UV-A is not part of the SPF numbering system, so a high SPF doesn’t guarantee any UV-A coverage you have to read the bottle. Look for “Avobenzone (Parsol), Titanium, or Zinc.”
- Choose a comfortable sunscreen, one that you’ll actu-ally wear. Zinc and titanium will give you a whitish ghost appearance so beware. However, it works great, and is especially good for children.
- Clothing, hats are the best … better than sunscreen … and less goopy.
- Eat well, don’t smoke and get to the gym regularly. - Lastly, check your skin out regularly, monthly. Bad things
can happen to good people. If they do, you want to detect them early, and get to your medical provider, so you can get back to living life to the fullest asap.
Editors Note: This article ran July 7, 2011 but The Coastline staff thought it was valuable to re-print to inform beach goers of the dangers of sun damage.

By making small changes in your routine, you can build your level of physical activity until you achieve a healthy fitness routine.
Adding physical activity into your lifestyle should be at the top of your priority list. Starting a physical activity program can be challenging but you can remain confident that you are on the road to success by focusing on the positive.
Choose one area of your life (e.g., work, lunch break time, before or after work, weekends, etc.) that you want to address in the next week. Set a goal to increase the amount of physical activity to 3 - 4 days a week. Write down your plan to achieve that goal. An example is “I will engage in a moderate intensity activity for 20 - 30 minutes during my lunch period at least three times per week.”
An example of a moderate intensity activity is brisk walking. Running or jogging is a vigor-ous intensity activity. A healthy fitness routine includes 150 minutes of moderate or 75 minutes of vigorous activity each week, along with muscle strengthening exercise twice a week.
By setting goals and building on your success, small changes will lead you to a healthy active lifestyle.

Did you ever lose yourself? No, I didn’t say get lost, but get so caught up in something that you forgot about you. You lost track of yourself, of time, of even things like eating
or scratching where it itches. Many lose themselves in video games for example. Losing yourself (to the right things) is a key to a happy and good life.
Professor James Pennebaker has an art ic le in the Harvard Business Review that sheds
some light on how a focus on “me” can mess up our moods, attitudes, relationships and more. He analyzed texts including essays, text messages, transcripts and chat room conversations to see how our communication reveals our psychological state.
Pennebaker explained, "Pronouns tell us where people focus their attention. If
someone uses the pronoun 'I,' it's a sign of self-focus. Say someone asks, 'What's the weather outside?' You could answer 'It's hot' or 'I think it's hot.' The 'I think' may seem insignificant, but it's quite meaningful. It shows you're more focused on yourself.” He found, “depressed people use the word 'I' much more often than stable people. When we analyzed poems by depressed writers and those who committed suicide we thought we'd find more dark and negative content words in their poetry. We didn't - but we did discover significant differences in the frequency of words like 'I.'"
The same result can be seen in religion. Historically, faith is about serving God with a focus on what He desires - “Thy will be done.” Much religion today seems to focus on: does faith make me happy? How can God bless me? What do I get out of it?
Faith suffers when it is about me. God can’t give me true blessings because those happen outside of me. Higher things are higher because they are beyond me. When it’s about me I tend to focus on trivial things
(like money, stuff or my desires) that are tem-porary and don’t fulfill. Then the temptation is to blame God for my emptiness and some even threaten (ha!) “God better bless my dreams or I’ll find something else that works for me.” And the joy, peace and hope of faith fade into bitterness and sadness.
So, for your own happiness and well-being, lose yourself. Most of us know from experience that when we forget ourselves in a book, a movie, work or something else we enjoy it more. And what is crazy is that as a by-product of looking outside ourselves in life (to God, to others, etc.) we find joy and a happy self.
Maybe that is why every major religion tells us not to focus on ourselves. Jesus said to deny yourself. Why? Because then we might find true fulfillment. We might find out if there is forgiveness for selfishness. We might find purpose and meaning. We might find God.
If you would like to speak with me or an-other chaplain regarding this subject, please contact the Religious Ministries Department at 727-2161.

By MC2(SW/AW) Travis AlstonWriter-Photographer. NAVSTA Rota PAO
A native of Newton, Conn., Master-at-Arms 3rd Class Jacob Gotliboski enlisted in the Navy in 2011. After completing basic training at Great Lakes, III., he reported to Master-at-Arms A-School at Lackland Air Force Base, San Antonio, Texas.
Once Gotiboski completed training, he reported to Maritime Expeditionary Security Squadron (MSRON) 4 in Portsmouth, Va.
He deployed to Naval Station Rota, Spain in January 2012.Gotiboski’s primary responsibility aboard Naval Station
Rota is serving as an airborne security team member.He said his biggest accomplishments are advancing to
petty officer 3rd class, upon completion of A-school for out-standing academic achievements and graduating from the Phoenix Raven Academy.
"From day one everything at MSRON 4 has been fun, chal-lenging and a learning experience. I cherish the time I spend with my shipmates and the knowledge I've gained while being a part of this command; I look forward to each new day with an open mind and a willingness to better myself."

LaTabernadelPuertoLa Taberna del Puerto is one of the oldest typical taverns in Puerto. It
was closed for a couple of years, but a few months ago reopened under the management of Claudio who brings special Argentinean touches to his food
in addition to local specialties. As can be expected in a typical tavern, the special-ties are local wines and dishes. You can enjoy menudo (tripe), berza (bean and cabbage stew), meat with gravy and more. Claudio’s specialties are provoleta (grilled
provolone) and chorizo criollo with homemade chimi churri sauce. You will also find chicken on a skewer, big beef burgers (200 grams) and a variety of montaditos (little sandwiches). La Taberna del Puerto is located on the cor-ner of Puerto Escondido and Ribera del Marisco in downtown Puerto. Stop by and tell Claudio you saw the ad in The Coastline and he will treat you to a glass of wine. Oh, I almost forgot, Claudio keeps a stock of beer mugs in the freezer so you can get your beer ice cold. In July and August he is open everyday, noon to 5 p.m. and 8 p.m. to midnight.SeaLevel
This is the biggest surf shop in the local area. It offers surfboards, body-boards, stand up paddleboards, as well as clothes and accessories such as bikinis, bathing suits, T-shirts, wallets and flip flops of different brand names. They also carry the original Crocs and ‘back to school’ backpacks from Roxy, Quiksilver and O´Neill.
Sea Level is owned and run by Michael and Helga Lynch, American and German, who have lived in Spain since 1990. They met in Tarifa where Helga ran a surf shop. At that time, Michael worked on base as an aircraft mechanic and their daughter Hannah was born in the base hospital. When the aircraft moved to different sites, they decided not to follow and opened Sea Level.
The shop is very pleasant as wood floors and background music add to the relaxed atmosphere. The owners take customer attention very seriously; it is their priority whether it be in English, Spanish or German. Sea Level is located on the backside of the SuperSol by the Puerto Sherry Circle. Stop by and get acquainted. Christel
Christel studied massage therapy for three years in her native France. In 2000 she came here for vacation and never went back. Since that time she has earned her living as a massage therapist. She has worked in Hotel Montecastillo in Jerez and other hotels in the area. She can now be found at the Squash Sherry Gym in Vistahermosa. Christel does all types of mas-sages: relaxation, anti-contracture, anti-cellulites and more. She says she doesn’t talk but her hands do the talking. Both my husband and one of my daughters have used her services and say she is excellent. Call 619-38-3423 for an appointment.LaCasonadeCaldrón
I want to remind you that La Casona de Calderón has a special offer: two nights, 110 € breakfast and taxes included; three nights, 165 € breakfast and taxes included and five nights, 250 € breakfast and taxes included. The hotel is located right in the heart of Andalucía and the hotel itself is a museum. It has 15 rooms and each one is different. There is a pool and solarium, all rooms have Internet connections plus numerous amenities. Another benefit
for travellers is the hotel is pet friendly. The restaurant is one to boast about since the Michelin Guide recommends it. This is a good opportunity to get to know the surrounding area and enjoy a very special setting. Check out their web page http://www.casonacalderon.es. I am sure you will like what you see.

I also want to remind you that Las Dunas Mall runs free buses again this year between Rota, Costa Ballena and the mall. The schedule is in the ad on the back page. Cut it out and save it. ChillOutTerracesatHotelPlayaandHotelDuque
A few weeks ago, I wrote about the Terrace Chill Out April in Hotel Playa. This Friday they are hosting a Barcelo party. Also at Hotel Playa, this sum-mer on Saturday nights you can enjoy a barbecue starting at 9:30 p.m. and a flamenco show at 10 p.m. in the pool area. Non-hotel guests are welcome!
This week I want to tell you about the Terrace Chill Out Dos Lunas in Hotel Duque. The Terrace overlooks the sea and the Rota Marina. It opens every day at 6 p.m. and there will be many parties and specials during the summer. The entrance to Dos Lunas is through the restaurant El Embarcadero and with or without parties or specials it is a great place to go relax and enjoy the view.Bailey’s

"O most holy apostle, Saint Jude, faithful servant and friend of Jesus, the Church honoureth and invoketh thee universally, as the patron of hopeless cases, and of things almost despaired of. Pray for me, who am so miserable. Make use, I implore thee, of that particular privilege accorded to thee, to bring visible and speedy help where help was almost despaired of. Come to mine assistance in this great need, that I may receive the consolation and succor of Heaven in all my necessities, tribulations, and sufferings, particularly (here make your request) and that I may praise God with thee and all the elect throughout eternity. I promise thee, O blessed Jude, to be ever mindful of this great favour, to always honour thee as my special and powerful patron, and to gratefully encourage devotion to thee. Amen."

With a 4 - 0 victory over Italy in the final game of the European Championship, Euro Cup, Spain has now won three consecutive major soccer tourna-ments and made a compelling case to be regarded as the greatest soccer team of all time. That being
said there is little time to rest on your laurels in international soccer and it’s never too early to look ahead.
The conclusion of Euro Cup signifies the unofficial count-down to World Cup, the most prestigious soccer event on the planet. Spain won their first-ever
World Cup two years ago in South Africa and they will be eager to repeat that feat in Brazil. Only one team has ever repeated as World Cup champions and should Spain do that there would be absolutely no question that they are the greatest soccer team of all time.
Even as European champions Spain still has to qualify for the World Cup. Most soccer confedera-tions have already started the qualifying process but the Union of European Football Associations (UEFA) members do start until September. Fifty-three Eu-ropean nations have been divided into nine groups and all will vie for one of the precious 13 places that Europe is allotted for the 32-team World Cup.
Brazil, the winner of five World Cups, will receive a major boost playing at home in 2014 and will pose a major threat to Spain as will Argentina which is led by Lionel Messi. At this point the Spanish appear to be invincible and have to be considered early favor-ites. A style of play which values possession and passing has proven to be very effective in not only scoring goals but in defense. In fact, Spain has not conceded a goal in a knockout stage game in the last two tournaments, a span that covers seven games.
There is little doubt that Spain will qualify for the next World Cup but questions remain as to what the make-up of the Spanish squad will be when they get there. Two years of qualifying will allow Spain and head coach Vicente Del Bosque to refine that lineup, but the initial questions will be about the role of veterans such as midfielders Xavi Hernández and Xabi Alonso. Those players, along with goalie Iker Casillas, will all be 32 or older come World Cup and in soccer years that is considered ancient.
If this past Euro Cup is any indication though, Del Bosque is up to the task. Despite immense pressure and criticism he stayed loyal to his initial starting lineup, one that included several aging but still capable veterans, players who delivered when it mattered most. That is not to say that he did not also sprinkle in some newcomers such as David Silva and Jordi Alba; who became perhaps the surprise of
the summer. The left back who played for Valencia this past season was a strong defender and made dashing runs to support the attack, scoring in the final to put Spain up by two goals.
As scary as it sounds there are many more play-ers like Alba, young Spaniards who are immensely talented and perfectly suited to play for their national team. Juan Mata and Javi Martinez, to name a few, are patiently waiting in the wings and when they are finally unleashed they might make Spain an even more athletic and dangerous team; something that is not only hard to comprehend but scary as well.
