CaliBasco,
You hit the nail on the head. Nothing but homegrown talent with Athlétic de Bilbao. They even have their minor leagues like we have in the States in baseball. Their only problem is, they are forced to go against the best talent in the world just to be competitive, and from a population that is what??? 6 million at most???
It's like rooting for the old NY Mets in baseball, when Casey Stengel was managing them. I remember him saying, "We ain't beat yet! The game hasn't even started." Of course the Mets highlight film that year was about three plays long, and Marvelous Marv Throneberry (everyone's castoff) was their most valuable player.
