Their team has no real stars, except maybe for Angelos Charisteas (striker), who is known a little bit better here in Germany,Don't forget Tsartas, he played in Seville in Spain, and he's probably one of the better players of the team (albeit he's getting close to the end of his career).
As for the Euro, well, I'm from Spain. What can I say, we're always there but we never achieve anything. Heh.
Actually one thing, Spain plays a 4-2-3-1, not a 4-5-1. The difference is that the extra attacker is not sacrificed for an extra defensive midfield, but rather for a man in between the midfield and the attack. This role is usually covered by Raul when Morientes is the main attacker, or by Valerón when he's playing.
The net result, however, is still the same, not enough people on the offensive.
This weekend, however, my mom is flying in for a visit, so I think I have something more entertaining to do than watching football ^_^
