Spain have a surfeit of talent on display at the Euro. With names like Fernando Torres and David Villa expected to shine at the tournament, coach Luis Aragones has had the luxury of dropping former skipper Raul. The Real Madrid player has not played an international for Spain since September 2006.

Sergio Ramos, Joan Capdevila and Carles Puyol lend solidity to the defence that is bound to act as a cushion for the brilliant Iker Casillas. In Xavi Hernandez and Cesc Fabregas, Spain probably have the best combination of defense and attack in their midfield.

Spain have always flattered to deceive in major tournaments, but this time soccer pundits have given them a thumbs up to go all the way.

Star Players: Fernando Torres, Cesc Fabregas, David Villa, Xavi

 

 

Russia coach Guus Hiddink is probably the toughest character on the football circuit. the Dutchman has refused several high-profile club jobs insisting his work in Russia is not yet finished. Euro 2008 affords the perfect platform to showcase his skills as a man manager.

However even Hiddink will find the going tough in a group that also has defending champions Greece. A further blow was dealt to the campaign by the news that star striker Pavel Pogrebnyak has issues with his meniscus and knee.

Star Players: Andrei Arshavin and Dmitri Sychev
