The Coach: Vicente Del Bosque
Predecessor Luis Aragones sadly died earlier this year and it was he who ushered in this glorious period in Spanish soccer. Del Bosque has taken up the mantle and it was the former Real Madrid man who guided La Furia Roja to the 2010 World Cup and the 2012 European Championships. Can he make it four straight major tournaments in Brazil?

Player to Watch: Diego Costa

The Atletico Madrid striker may not be everyone’s cup of tea due a penchant for histrionics and stretching the rules of the game. However, he has enjoyed an outstanding season in La Liga and represents an alternative to the classic Spain striker with his aggressive style and ability to hold the ball up. Spain may end up playing with a “false nine” once again, but if they do opt for an out-and-out striker, Costa is unlikely to let them down.
