How did they get there: As a CSA Europe Elite League member.
Manager: Miguel Ángel Ramos.
Captain: Juan Pablo Gonzalez, better known as Juanpa. Tip top defender for Ajax London and previously Madrid Cosmos.
Euro highlights: The 4-0 spanking of Italy in EuroCup 2000 and also the 5-1 humiliation of Denmark in EuroCup '96.
Euro legend: Xabier Ezkorta. The Basque striker played a massive part in the Spaniards' 1996 and 2000 campaigns before retiring in 2003.
Star player: Quique Sánchez. The Middlesbrough Monsters striker just can't stop scoring goals for his club, and with FC London wonderkid Rafa Sánchez playing long balls to him, he will be deadly for the Spanish.
Strengths: Attack. The threatening trio Quique, David Hidalgo and Emilio Vásquez all pose a threat to defences from all over Europe.
Weaknesses: Bad luck. The Spanish have experienced bad luck over the years, and we don't know what causes it.
World ranking: 6th.
Our verdict: They could go all the way this time. That is, if they're lucky.
