Spain

Spain is group D's highest ranked team in the FIFA world ratings in 4^th place and with a team full of stars. After an early wobble in their qualifying matches Spain came roaring back to seal their place in the finals with an emphatic 3-0 home victory over their fellow group D contenders Sweden.

Luis AragonΓ©s team melds a great combination of youth and experience in a defense that has Spain stalwart Carlos Puyol pulling the strings and providing the cover for young stars Sergio Ramos and Joan Capdevila to rampage down the wings.

Midfield is just as star studded with the likes of Arsenal's Cesc Fabergas, Barcelona's Iniesta and Xavi and Valancia's Silva and JoaquΓ­n providing a counter attacking threat that any team in the competition will ignore at their own peril.

And of course, there is the small matter of a certain Fernando Torres to consider, likely to be deployed as a lone striker the Liverpool star has netted 24 goals in the Premier League in his debut season and looks to carry that form into the Euro Championships.
