    I hope Argentina win it this year but my money's on Spain again. 7/1 is a superb price.

    I'd take Iturraspe he has had a great season for Bilbao probably been the best defensive midfielder in La Liga,I would also take Pedro ahead of Villa I know both haven't really had great seasons,I just feel with the younger legs and Villa having a bit of trouble with injuries the last few years,but as you say it is some squad
