Team breakdown
The nine-strong group of experienced football technicians who have followed every game at the tournament decided the final selection, and the success of Luis Aragonés's side was underlined by the fact that nine Spain players made the final cut, with the remainder of the squad comprising three players from beaten finalists Germany, four from Russia, two each from the Netherlands and Portugal and a single player representing Turkey, Croatia and Italy.

think that most people would have alot of the spanish players, they have been fantastic this tournament, think they will be a big threat at the next world cup as they are a young dangerous team.
