I don't know, at times they can move the ball with decent coordination. But as I've said this game's about getting a ball inside the goal, and no matter how astonishing you "play", you'll never win if you don't do it. I think that during the recent friendly game against Russia Spain created some 17 goal occasions--all failed! :blink:

That is true, Raul is not as he was in his best ''Champions League'' days and in cooperation with Torres he can miss miracles... But if they get on the roll, they'll be a tough nut to crack.
However, I was unpleasantly surprised by England's play. Even though they won Paraguay 1-0, their play can hardly be called astonishing. And it should, because their midfield is one of the best in the world (Beckham, Gerrard, Lampard and Joe Cole). I think their main problem lies in the injury of Wayne Rooney, because now that he's out, Owen and Crouch play forward. Owen is totally out of form and Crouch (IMHO) is only dangerous in jumps. But if Rooney will be ready for the second round, they could pose a treat as well.
