The UAE Vs Spain

Nearly every country in the world has a football team, and the UAE and Spain are no exception. I’d like to show and point out the similarities and differences between the two teams, and tell you which of them I would prefer to watch.

FIFA is an international body for regulating football, and like Spain the UAE also is a part of it.
They both have the same amount of players and both obey and follow the same rules and regulations.
Nevertheless, there are a lot of differences between them. First of all, the teams performance and level in expertise due to their trainings and practices while the UAE mostly plays local teams, Spain plays with many teams around the world.
It is said that Spain is a better team. Over looking that, I still would prefer to watch the UAE play. There are many reasons for this but the most important reason is that to see the UAEs great potential and how it evolves and gets better.
I mostly enjoy watching the UAE soccer teams because I live here and I am an Emirati.
It is thrilling to see emerging skills of the local players.
Spain on the other hand is a strong team and preferred to be watched with other teams of its level and skills.

In conclusion, I enjoy watching both teams but I personally prefer to watch the UAE team because to me I see that more thrilling and intertaning.
