Viva Espana

Good luck to Spain against Germany - they'll need it.
That said, the tournament pre-favourites have looked dire, but generally only when Torres is starting.  As soon as he's taken off, they come to life.  The benefit of having a mobile frontman in Villa and a creative but steely  Fabregas in support seems to liberate them, mainly in the way England would have benefited with Rooney up top on his own.
Torres is yet another of the big guns who've been piss-poor - Torres, Ronaldo, Rooney, Kaka, Messi.  The top five players in the world at club level, and they've been shockingly out of sorts.
Torres does not look fit, does not look motivated, does not seem to have the belief of his colleagues.
Make sure that you don't start with Torres, Del Bosque, now will you?
