Once again, a great team, and once again will be favourites. I'm not really surprised about Raul, Aragones made his mind up about him ages ago and wasn't going to change..

I'm happy Raul did'nt make it, I hate him soo much. Spain has an amazing squad. Missing a few big names, but I think this squad can pull it. Im supporting the current teams in Order.

1.Spain
2.Portugal
3.France

they're mighty scary (spain's squad) but its dissapointing not seeing joaquin play i enjoy his runs, passing ability etc..
raul couldnt even make it as the waterboy? ohh shame lol

good decision by bojan (pulling out) it had the word "right" written in every aspect of it, too young.

Wtf? Jordi that is soo childish, I know you have your whole Catalan thing going on, but atleast respect Espanya since Puyol, Iniesta, and Xavi will be playing for them.

Spain is not among favourites for me. They just lack the team gel. Italy looks drained and old. France? Maybe.. Dutch impressed me much in the friendly game vs. us where they beat us easily. And we beat Argentina, England and others in that same year. Only thing that worries me is their defense.

Swiss are dark horses. Good discipline, home advantage, and a good team.

Thats not an overly impressive squad at all to be honest.

I don't believe in Holland at all. Van Basten is like the worst coach out there, absolute s*** football. During the qualifiers Holland never played a decent game, winning all through a lot of suffering. Heck even we deserved to beat them away if it wasn't for the Jewish referee in the Amsterdam ArenA.
