And I feel thats whats happening here. Torres is a very good striker, and one doesn't have to go back and talk about his record at Atletico. Look at his performance at Liverpool this season. The English side has managed to hang around at the number 4 position, simply because Torres has been around to score goals whenever the team has struggled. And I feel, this form of Torres will continue when he plays for Spain. And with Fabregas around too, who knows, if they pair well, Spain could be having their hands full on the Euro cup.

The one contender would have to be Portugal and Ronaldo, the form player in the world. Spain just never get their act together. So, can Ronaldo produce his absurd goal-scoring antics for Portugal to help them lift the cup?

The goal that he socred at the San Siro vs Inter was outstanding, he made it look like he had all the time in the world...the mark of a great striker. Spain will win Euro 2008 Torres will be the top scorer.

Many Spain fans fear the worst for Euro 2008. He might score a couple in the early rounds but what will happen when they play a big team in the quarters?
