Spain has debuted with 4-0 rout of Liechtenstein, at the start of qualifying for Euro 2012.

In the match played in the Rheinpark Stadium in the city of Vaduz, the champions of the world realized a weak Liechtenstein team, which endured far as he could, and could even say took a fairly favorable.

No doubt that the most gratifying for Del Bosque in this game, was the reunion with the goal of “child” Fernando Torres, which bypasses a good time.

Torres scored two of the four goals from Spanish team opened the scoring on 18 minutes, and placed third in the 54th. Before the “Guaje” David Villa had scored the second, and the number 43 shirt with the Spanish, leaving only the eternal one, Raul, to become the leading scorer of the “red.”

The fourth goal came on 62 minutes, and was the work of “canary” David Silva. Spain won, goals scored and started to the best of their way to Euro 2012.

For the same group I, Lithuania and Scotland are not exceeded, tying 0-0, a result which no doubt helps to Spain, starting as early as the sole leader.

Before that, he had to deal with the absurd debate about whether the call for Valdes could sow discord in the group. Then came the debate about the dual-pivot. I myself raised in these pages, albeit in a purely football. Meanwhile, the opportunists, the self-conscious, the ignorant, those who see Spanish players, but team members who are hooligans, they began to spin the carousel of idiots: if  Del Bosque had no blood in the veins, if only had trained at the elite, that all he had won in Madrid was because he had players who win.

But Del Bosque followed his own, confident that hard work and effort of their own, would finally put everyone in place. They were going the rounds and the coach took key decisions. Alonso kept Busquets and despite everything, drain the match against Portugal with the departure of Llorente, corduroy broke the surprising appeal of Peter against Germany … And little by little, with all the humility that can fit in a human body , was leading his boys to the place that was theirs by right: the World Cup final.
