I dont think they can...They need whichever striker they pick to perform..Spain are the best possesion team in football,but sometimes can lack a goal..They will pass teams into the ground but will need a cutting edge come the business end of the competition..

I was just thinking that at the World Cup, Fernando Torres was essentially a no-show, but if he shows up here, Spain could be very tough to beat as usual. You'd expect a team with that kind of midfield to be possession oriented.

Yeh with no Villa ,Torres will be expected to step up..The Torres of 08/09 was a frightening player but since then not sure what happened..Noticed some improvements in recent months-working harder,goals returning and assists...

Bad start to the tournament for us..Couldnt really lose the opening game for any chance we have of getting through...

Ha ha,thanks:))...We're just glad to be back in Major Tournaments again,10 years out of them..

Which is a shame because everyone knows that you guys got shafted out of qualifying for South Africa.

Well thats in the past is my thinking:))..Grrrrrrrr!!!....Good opening round of games,much better quality than in recent tournaments..
