Spain is one of the favourites together with perennial favourites Brazil to win this year World cup. Their brand of football is nice to watch, possession football like Barcelona.
But Fabregas is recovering from an injury sustained against Barcelona in the CL QFs. Also carrying injuries are Xavi and Iniesta, as well as Torres, still recovering from his surgery last month. wow, that is 4 of their most important players in the squad. I am sure they will be selected for the world cup, but whether they are fit to play when the world cup starts next month is another issue. Just look at Rooney in 2006, who did not played in the first 3 matches as he is recovering from his metatarsal injury. All is not looking good for Spain to win their first world cup for the first time.
