* The average age of the champions is less than 26 years.
* If nothing happens could validate success in the coming years.
* The next challenges: the 2012 European Championship and World Cup 2014.

If the present of the Spanish soccer team is still outstanding, the future looks equally promising. The champion of the world and Europe has a young group of players, where only two of the 23 players who have played the World Cup in South Africa over 30 years.

The current average is no more than the current average of 26 añosLa Spain does not exceed 26 years (25.9), which means that there will be no trouble maintaining a database of security in the face of the next two challenges facing the red: the Euro 2012 in Poland and Ukraine and the 2014 World Cup in Brazil.

In goal, Casillas (29), Queen (27) and Valdes (28) are still here to stay. More complicated is the situation for two title fights, Carles Puyol (32) and Capdevila (32).

The question of Puyol

The Barcelona core has not yet decided its continuity in the selection. “It is an example for all players, the coaching staff … I will try to convince him to keep playing with the team,” assured the coach Vicente del Bosque.

Try to convinces to Puyol selection keep playing with the other hand, the left side of Villarreal is uncertain due to physical wear gets into position, where you have to join the attack frequently. What is worrying in the case of Capdevila is that no replacement in sight for him because of the crisis of left-back suffered by the Spanish football.

Sergio Ramos (24), Albiol (24), Pique (23), Arbeloa (27) are in its fullness, Marchena, 30, presents more questions but could stand as well. For the midfield, where football was born in Spain, nor Busquets (21), Javi Martinez (21), Xabi Alonso (28), Cesc (23), Mata (22), Silva (24), Iniesta (26) , Navas (24) or Peter (22), have an expiration date. Maybe Xavi (30), the brain of the red, which generates more questions, although his game, in which raw intelligence and vision of the game, could prolong his career until the next World Cup.

Del Bosque, 2012

Nor do questions arise in the attack. Villa (28) is experiencing the best moment of his career, Torres (26), if the injuries he observed, is one of the best strikers in the world, and Llorente (25) goes over each season. It is also guaranteed the presence on the bench, at least until 2012, when the contract ends, Vicente del Bosque.

With this excellent raw material and non-negotiable unmistakable style that has made the world champion Spanish national team for the first time in its history, it is utopian to dream up with a new title Casillas for Spain.
