Royal Football Federation of Spain.
Main players: Casillas (best goalkeeper in the World in 2009), Xavi Hernandez and Fernando Torres.
FIFA ranking (April 2010): #1. Spain was champion of Euro Cup 2008, beating Germany in the final match, and is one of the favourites to win the World Cup 2010.
Spain finished first of their Group in the European Qualifying (arguably the toughest of all European groups), winning all ten matches, against Bosnia-Herzegovina, Turkey, Belgium, Estonia and Armenia.
Spain is in Group H of World Cup 2010, and will play the first three matches against: Switzerland (June 16th), Honduras (June 21st) and Chile (June 25th). It is very likely that Spain will finish first of their group, and there is a possibility that Brazil finish second of theirs; in such case, Brazil and Spain would face each other right after the Groups Stage, and one of these countries would return home after only four matches.
Spain Team Roster:
Goalkeepers: Iker Casillas (Real Madrid), Pepe Reina (Liverpool/England), Diego Lopez (Villarreal), Victor Valdes (Barcelona), David de Gea Quintana (Atletico Madrid).
Defense: Raul Albiol (Real Madrid), Alvaro Arbeloa (Real Madrid), Cesar Azpilicueta (Osasuña), Joan Capdevila (Villarreal), Carlos Marchena (Valencia), Gerard Pique (Barcelona), Carles Puyol (Barcelona), Sergio Ramos (Real Madrid).
Midfield: Xabi Alonso (Real Madrid), Sergio Busquets (Barcelona), Cesc Fabregas (Arsenal/England), Andres Iniesta (Barcelona), Javi Martinez (Athletic Bilbao), Marcos Senna (Villarreal), David Silva (Valencia), Xavi (Barcelona).
Forward: Santiago Cazorla (Villarreal), Jesus Navas (Sevilla), Juan Mata (Valencia), Pedro (Barcelona), Daniel Guiza (Fenerbahçe/Turkey), Fernando Llorente (Athletic Bilbao), Alvaro Negredo (Sevilla), Fernando Torres (Liverpool/England), David Villa (Valencia).
Coach: Vicente Del Bosque.

[...] Spain is still top favorite and Brazil is second (but both are paying higher – meaning their favoritism is smaller); Argentina was fourth, now is third (is Messi causing a good impression among betters?); England was third, and fell to fourth, below Argentina; another switch over was Holland passing Germany and Italy (Germans lost Ballack, and betters seemingly didn’t like the Italian roster); the USA Team odds were 66/1, and are now at 67/1.
