Anyhoo, my prediction is, they'll beat France in the final

Are you joking? Spain has great individual players, but they didn´t even qualify in their group for the Euro2004, had to go into relegation as far as I remember.

No way they´ll be able to beat France. France is the football-superpower at the moment in Europe with the Czechs and Italy coming damn close.

The thing with the Spanish is (I'm no expert, this is just my own personal take on it. If it's completely wrong, say so!) that a lot of their players aren't "Spanish", in the sense of they hold their loyalty to Spain. Like, the Basque players, the Catalan's, etc.

They don't feel like they're representing their country, and thus there is a lack of passion and hence they don't play like a team, and terribly underachieve.

That's my take on it, most likely completely wrong too!
 

Arsenal Quotes

A team can attack for too long. The most opportune time for scoring is immediately after repelling an attack, because opponents are then strung out in the wrong half of the field. All the men are expected to play to plan, but not so as to stifle individuality
