Can Andres Iniesta lift the World Cup with Spain one last time?

La Furia Roja have become world beaters and they have made it look easy. Spain were utterly dominant till the 2014 World Cup where things fell apart a little.

But things seem to be back on track for the Iberian side and they will be focused on achieving only one aim and that is to lift the FIFA World Cup again.

Spain have been unbeaten in their last 18 games and they trounced Argentina 6-1 in March. The Spaniards are known to produce talented, young players and this Spain squad travelling to Russia seems to have a perfect mix of youth and experience.

Spain are favourites to top Group B, ahead of Portugal. Morocco and Iran complete the group. Led by Sergio Ramos and Andres Iniesta, La Roja come into the FIFA World Cup as one of the favourites.

With the best goalkeeper in the world in David De Gea, Spain's back-line will be difficult to break down. The only chink in Spain's armory is their strike force.

Iago Aspas has not had a great run with the national team which means that there is an over-reliance on Diego Costa to deliver. The Spaniards however, do know how to win in the big competitions and do not be surprised if they go all the way.
