How they qualified The holders topped their five-team group with six wins and two draws, and only briefly looked troubled by runners-up France when Franck Ribéry ran at their defence. World Cup high Short memory? The meat in their euro sandwich, they survived Holland’s attempts to maim them and won the ugly final in 2010, four minutes from the end of extra time when the magnificent Andrés Iniesta half-volleyed his shot past Maarten Stekelenburg. World Cup low Leading 2-1 against Nigeria in 1998 with 18 minutes to play they ended up losing 3-2 and the team, stacked with excellent players in their prime such as Luís Enrique, Raúl, Fernando Hierro and Sergi, were knocked out at the group stage when they drew their next match with Paraguay. Familiar faces Nacho Monreal (Arsenal), Juan Mata (Chelsea), Santi Cazorla (Arsenal), Jesús Navas (Manchester City), álvaro Negredo (Manchester City), David de Gea (Manchester United), César Azpilicueta (Chelsea), David Silva (Manchester City), Javi García (Manchester City), Roberto Soldado (Tottenham Hotspur), Fernando Torres (Chelsea). The manager Vicente del Bosque added two league titles as head coach of Real Madrid to his five as a player and won two Champions League before being sacked for lacking the sexy profile demanded by the club’s absurd president. With Spain he has won the World Cup, European Championship and Allo Allo’s coveted René Artois lookalike competition. How in danger is he? He has earned the right to be the master of his own destiny. 0/10 Most likely to light up Brazil Take your pick from Juan Mata, Santi Cazorla, David Silva, Cesc Fàbregas and others many but the likeliest standout players remain Iniesta and Daily Mail blind spot, the extraordinary Xavi. Most likely to be sent home in disgrace Sergio Ramos has been sent off 17 times for Real Madrid but not once for Spain in 115 appearances but his club and country value him too highly to bother branding him a disgrace. Title odds: 5/1 The stereotype is … Team of magical elves hypnotising the opposition with short, rhythmical passing which proves so mesmeric it makes centreforwards redundant. The reality is ... Team of magical elves … they are tougher than they seem, are very strong defensively and use width to redress the imbalance provided by two formerly world-class centreforwards Fernando Torres and David Villa simultaneously hitting the slide. What they’re known for? Tiki taka 36 per cent Unemployment 19 per cent Timeshare cockney wideboys 22 per cent Napping all afternoon 23 per cent How Brazilian are they? More Brazilian than Brazil and just as smug about their style of play. How Google translates the national anthem It’s an instrumental, which did not stop Eamon Dunphy in 2012 saying the squad had decided not to sing the non-existent words to show Barcelona and Real Madrid players were united in common purpose. Duration One minute and 18 sec or 16 bars of brassy pomp and circumstance to honour the king. How to dress like their fans Pastel cashmere jumper slung around the shoulders Style Council-style, eternally sockless and with Ray Bans doubling as Alice band or red shirts, wineskins and comedy matador hats. Commentator's go-to fact In fourteen hundred and ninety-two, Columbus sailed the ocean blue. He had three ships and left from Spain; he sailed through sunshine, wind and rain.

晉級之路 西班牙國家隊(duì)與法國、芬蘭、格魯吉亞、白俄羅斯同組，憑借預(yù)選賽6勝2平1負(fù)的成績，獲得小組第一。里貝里（Franck Ribéry）帶隊(duì)的法國位居第二。 世界杯高光時刻 忘了？2010年世界杯決賽，離加時賽結(jié)束只剩4分鐘，伊涅斯塔（Andrés Iniesta）一記凌空抽射越過了斯特克倫博格（Maarten Stekelenburg）的防守，西班牙終于擊敗荷蘭，艱難取勝。 世界杯低谷時刻 1998年，西班牙對陣尼日利亞，西班牙初以2-1領(lǐng)先，卻在比賽最后18分鐘被反超，最終2比3不敵對手，遺憾出局。當(dāng)年的西班牙隊(duì)可謂群星閃耀，聚集了黃金時期的球星如路易斯·恩里克（Luís Enrique）、費(fèi)爾南多·耶羅（Fernando Hierro）和塞爾吉（Sergi）等等。但豪華陣容沒忙上多大忙，西班牙隊(duì)敗給尼日利亞后又與巴拉圭打成平手，最終沒能出線。 知名球員 蒙里亞爾（阿森納）、胡安·馬塔（切爾西）、圣迪亞戈·卡索拉（阿森納）、納瓦斯（曼城）、內(nèi)格雷多（曼城）、德基亞（曼聯(lián)）、阿茲皮利奎塔（切爾西）、大衛(wèi)·席爾瓦（曼城）、哈維·加西亞（曼城）、羅伯托·索爾達(dá)多（熱刺）、托雷斯（切爾西）。 主教練 主教練博斯克（Vicente del Bosque）執(zhí)教五年間，曾兩度率領(lǐng)皇馬摘下西甲聯(lián)賽和冠軍杯桂冠，但后來俱樂部主席卻以“星味”不足的荒謬?yán)碛蓪⑵浣饴殹Ｔ谒膸ьI(lǐng)下，西班牙國家隊(duì)還贏得了世界杯、歐錦賽等比賽的冠軍。 下課指數(shù) 0/10——命運(yùn)掌握在博斯克手上。 最可能星耀巴西的球員 可能是胡安·馬塔、卡索拉，也可能是席爾瓦或法布雷加斯，但最有望大放異彩的還是伊涅斯塔以及被《每日郵報》忽略的哈維。 最可能被提前遣返的球員 代表國家隊(duì)出戰(zhàn)時，拉莫斯115次出場從未被罰，代表皇馬時，他被罰下場17次。不過俱樂部和國家隊(duì)將其視若珍寶，對于他們來說，幾張紅牌算不上丟人。 奪冠幾率：5/1 印象中的西班牙隊(duì) 神奇的矮子軍團(tuán)，常以猝不及防和極富節(jié)奏感的傳球迷惑對手，使對方中鋒全無用武之地。 事實(shí)上的西班牙隊(duì) 還是神奇的矮子軍團(tuán)，實(shí)力比看上去強(qiáng)，防守尤為突出。此外，考慮到托雷斯和比利亞兩名世界級中鋒改打邊鋒，西班牙隊(duì)還拉伸了前場的寬度。 西班牙因何聞名 西班牙短傳36% 高失業(yè)率19% 小混混22% 一睡一下午23% 多有巴西范兒？ 比巴西人還巴西，對自己的球風(fēng)球技自信無比。 國歌的谷歌翻譯 西班牙國歌是一首樂曲（沒有歌詞）。2012年，埃蒙·鄧菲說球隊(duì)們已經(jīng)決定不唱歌詞，以表示巴薩和皇馬為了共同的目標(biāo)團(tuán)結(jié)一心。 國歌時長 國歌長為1分鐘18秒，或者可以說就是歌頌國王的16小節(jié)進(jìn)行曲。 怎么裝成西班牙球迷 像“風(fēng)采委員會”（英國樂隊(duì)）一樣在肩上搭一件淺色套頭衫，不穿襪子，雷朋墨鏡要么架在鼻子上，要么推到頭上當(dāng)發(fā)帶；或者身穿紅T恤，腰里別酒囊，頭戴滑稽的斗牛士帽。 評論員的解說詞 1492年，哥倫布駛向蔚藍(lán)的海洋。他的三艘船隊(duì)從西班牙出發(fā)，一路乘風(fēng)破浪、風(fēng)雨無阻。
