TEAMS: Spain

Again qualified with ease but will Spain finally be able to dismiss their under achievers tag and do themselves justice at a major tournament? Only time will tell but with the rich vein of talent at José Antonio Camacho's disposal Spain should have no difficulty in reaching the knock-out stages at least.
The huge expectation will no doubt be once again on the shoulders of star striker Raul, and now after another glittering year with Real Madrid he may well have the confidence to fulfill his own potential in an international major tournament after as disappointing France 98 & Euro 2000 for both him and his countrry.
