World Cup: Can Spain defend their title of being the Champions?

New Delhi: The biggest quadrennial soccer extravaganza is going to start in Brazil within less than forty five days. One of the teams that will be closely watched upon will be the defending champions Spain.






There are few question marks over who will be first choice goalkeeper for Spain in the World Cup -- the cruciate knee ligament suffered by Victor Valdes leaves Casillas as the only candidate.  Casillas may have a weakness on crosses into his penalty area, but compensates by lightning reflexes and speed off his line. The fact that he has not been first choice for his club in the league has not stopped him performing well in Europe and the King's Cup.
