Also, I'd like to point out a very big reason why Raul has not been included in the squad.
The three strikers in the squad are :
Fernando Torres - I dont really need to explain this one. His finishing this season has been better than its ever been before and even before that he was the main man for Spain.
29 league starts netted 24 league goals.
David Villa - Every bit as talented as Torres, but more likely to set up a team mate. Villa can't really play in a 4-5-1 as Spain have been doing recently so he'll be on the bench. Or, with some luck, Spain might go back to 4-4-2 and play them both.
16 goals in 25 starts, in a season where his goals kept his club off the foot of the table.
Dani Guiza - Top scorer this season in La Liga ahead of Luis Fabiano.
Not a young player, not a spectacular player, but one who has been in great form - especially near the end of the season, and can be counted on to nick a goal.
35 starts and 25 goals in La Liga this season.
Raul himself has 18 goals in 35 league matches, which is a fine haul and meant he was top scorer for the team that won the league. But Spain should be more than fine without him.
In fact, if they go with a 4-4-2 and play Torres and Villa together, they just might run riot this year and Torres could end up top scorer at the tournament.
But chances are they'll stick to 4-5-1 with just Torres up front and their over-adundance of attacking midfielders in the middle.
