Spain are being tipped by the bookies to win the FIFA World Cup finals in South Africa later this summer.
The Spanish side, which is expected to be led by strike pair Fernando Torres and David Villa, are given a 4/1 odds to win the final, with many time champions Brazil sitting second at 5/1.
Fabio Capello insists the key to World Cup success for England will be to keep Wayne Rooney fit and in the sort of goalscoring form that has taken him into the top three players in the world.
A short time after his first game at the Emirates Stadium since his return to Arsenal, 35-year-old Sol Campbell was asked about the prospect of playing twice a week to fill in for the injured William Gallas.
Despite being ruled out for the rest of the reason with a hamstring injury, which also killed his dream of playing in this year’s World Cup finals in South African Michael Owen has been told his England career is not over.
Manchester City winger Adam Johnson admits this summer’s World Cup may come too soon for him.
The former Middlesbrough man was named in national team boss Fabio Capello’s provisional squad of 30 to face Egypt last week.
