Will Spain be another Greece?

Congratulations to Spain...

But Euro champions seldom retain the title twice consecutively. Spain is a good team, but not really tough and did not really meet with big challenge on the road to the champions...so I think they may not have good results in the coming World Cup...

woooot

who has even retained the title consecutively (not too sure if you meant Euro and world or back to back Euro wins) ? but if you mean euros and world cup, only the french team did it, winning the world cup 1st , then the next Euro.

but don't really understand why compare Spain to Greece. Spain has always been a traditional strong team with technically gifted players even but Greece won their Euro more on the tactical play of their coach, winning with a closely knitted team based on defensive play. Spain has been on the attacking side and just known for choking at major competitions. this time , they beat Italy(06 world cup champions with bad form coming into the competition?) and Germany on the way, isn't that enough? but who would have expected Italy to have such a form anyway. you would also have hoped they would meet Holland on the way but they lost to a superb Russia, right?

anyway, it's always different on the world cup platform with the strong South American teams competing. it all boils down to form and luck.

你攞spain黎同greece比未免.....
當年greece打防守波,一個機會就爆冷,隊中冇mud邊個球星...而家呢隊spain, 連raul, joaquin等人都冇得入選,你睇吓佢中前場,個個都咁堅,係後防差, 就算攞唔到world cup相信都會有一番作為

只要卡斯拿斯,佩奧爾,辛拿,沙維,托利斯.
5大將仲keep到今年狀態,十分樂觀~

反觀德國就真系陣中無大將喇~兩年後WC波力克又大兩歲,應該冇而家既霸氣

樓主, 歐洲國家盃要贏已經唔易, 要衛冕都一樣唔易, 下屆就算唔冧莊都唔代表佢地係曇花一現
希臘球員捧盃時年紀比較大, 加上贏好多場波都係輸形勢贏波, 捧盃信服力唔係咁高, 好多人都唔肯認希臘係一隊強隊
相反西班牙除左對瑞典上半場落下風之外, 對住意大利, 德國, 俄羅斯同希臘都係全場佔上風, 所以俾到好多說服力人, 覺得西班牙未來四年都仲會有力問鼎國際大賽錦標
另外西班牙聯賽水準高, 就算一班球星水準下滑, 都會有足夠具份量球員接班, 唔似得希臘, 以外流球員為主, 當中大部份都年紀唔輕, 所以就容易有接唔上既情況出現
我認為下屆世界盃西班牙仍然會係有力爭標球隊之一, 不過實力相當球隊豈止一隊, 就算贏唔到都唔代表呢隊 SPAIN 08 係曇花一現
