Prediction: They'll probably cruise to the knockout sage playing fanstastic football, the media will wank over them, they will get knocked out in the quarter or semifinals after dominating the whole match but failing to score. Their defense is very weak & susceptible to opponents with good aerial ability and strength

Honestly, with Torres, Villa and Guiza they have no right to fail to score in any match. More so than any other time in the last few years, if they play to the strengths of their strikers - they should win the tournament.
You're right about the defence. Capdevila is no more than a decent player and Puyol is half the player he was a year ago. I like Raul Albiol, but he's no Rio Ferdinand. It's lucky they have Cassilas behind them.
