Spain Soccer Team Profile World Cup 2010
World Cup appearances: 12
World Cup Titles: None
Overwhelming favourites to win the World Cup, Spain have built on their Euro 2008 victory to become one of the top teams in the world.
Spain have quality and skill running throughout their side, with goalkeeper Iker Casillas, defenders Gerard Pique and Carles Puyol, midfield maestros Xavi Hernandez and Andreas Iniesta, and one of the deadliest strike forces in the world in David Villa and Fernando Torres.
Characterised by their attractive, swift, one-touch football, Spain are the team to beat at this World Cup.
Spain had never won a major trophy until Euro 2008, and a question mark still remains on the ability to triumph on the world stage.
But the Spaniards were absolutely flawless in qualification, winning all 10 of their games, and that will make them confident about progressing from Group H, where they have to compete with Chile, Honduras, and Switzerland.
Squad:
Goalkeepers: Iker Casillas, Jose Manuel 'Pepe' Reina, Victor Valdes
Defenders: Raul Albiol, Alvaro Arbeloa, Joan Capdevila, Carlos Marchena, Gerard Pique, Carles Puyol, Sergio Ramos
