Today we look at the next team in GROUP A as part of our
Confederations Cup Countdown - Spain! Ole ole!
Spain
With a hugely impressive European Championship victory, Spain finally brought together and lived up to the potential of the country's undoubted football-playing prowess. Time after time the Spaniards had flattered only to deceive, but they got it right in Austria and Switzerland in 2008.
Blessed with outstandingly talented players in every position, Spain is on an unbeaten run of 24 matches that covers the last two years. It is an astonishing record.
Maybe the most recognisable player among the many talented stars that Spain boasts is striker Fernando Torres, who became a massive star on the world stage after a stunningly effective first season with Liverpool in the English Premier League. Scoring the winning goal in the European Championship final against Germany further enhanced the reputation he had established at Anfield.
However, Torres is but one among many stars who have finally meshed their talent into a superb team with a spine that was missing in the past.
