My point was the same as norway's, really
They have much, much better players than us (take a look at the full 30 below!). And hence are World and Euro champs.
Given that, I think it's a bit surprising that someone who's had a bad a time as Torres has is in their 30. But guess demonstrates that they don't have that many good strikers (or that Torres is so fondly remembered there that the last few years in England don't matter...)
Spain's 30
Porteros: Iker Casillas (Real Madrid), Pepe Reina (N?poles) y David de Gea (Manchester United).
Defensas: Sergio Ramos (Real Madrid), Gerard Piqu? (Barcelona), Ra?l Albiol (N?poles), Javier Mart?nez (Bayern de M?nich), Juanfran Torres (Atl?tico), Jordi Alba (Barcelona), C?sar Azpiliciueta (Chelsea), Dani Carvajal (Real Madrid) y Alberto Moreno (Sevilla).
Medios: Xavi Her?ndez (Barcelona), Xabi Alonso (Real Madrid), Andr?s Iniesta (Barcelona), Koke Resurrecci?n (Atl?tico), Sergio Busquets (Barcelona), Santi Cazorla (Arsenal), Ander Iturraspe (Athletic), Cesc F?bregas (Barcelona), Thiago Alc?ntara (Bayern de M?nich), Juan Mata (Manchester United), David Silva (Manchester City), Pedro Rodr?guez (Barcelona), Jes?s Navas (Manchester City).
Delanteros: Diego Costa (Atl?tico), David Villa (Atl?tico), Fernando Torres (Chelsea), ?lvaro Negredo (Manchester City) y Fernando Llorente (Juventus).
