Group H - Spain

The current European champions have finally shaken off their 'underachiever' tag, and are now actually winning things. Many people see Spain absolutely walking the tournament, and yes, absed on their squad, they will, but things don't always go that easily.

There are plenty of egos in this team, all of whom believe they are the best player in the squad. We can all live in hope that they all clash, and they go out relatively early. I don't like Spain you see.

Capital City: Madrid
Captain: Iker Casillas
Manager: Vicente del Bosque
Star Man: Xavi - he's one of those players that keeps quiet on the scene, but every club in the world would put them in their starting line-up. His passing is the best in the world - in 2008, his pass succession rate was 89%. He'll lead the team and decide how well they do. 
Group Games: Switzerland (16th June); Honduras (21st June); Chile (25th June)
Adam's Prediction: Will absolutely pummel all teams in their group. Should go most of the way, but I can see semi hearbreak. 1st in Group H.

Full Squad:
Goalkeepers: Iker Casillas (Real Madrid), Jose Manuel Reina (Liverpool), Victor Valdes (Barcelona) 

Defenders: Raul Albiol (Real Madrid), Alvaro Arbeloa (Real Madrid), Joan Capdevila (Villarreal), Carlos Marchena (Valencia), Gerard Pique (Barcelona), Carles Puyol (Barcelona), Sergio Ramos (Real Madrid)
