Torres: we will go down in history if Spain reign

FERNANDO TORRES believes that this Spain team will be talked about for years to come if they beat Germany tonight – the only doubt is whether the Liverpool striker will start the match.

Torres has been in the starting XI for all of Spain’s games bar the opener against Switzerland where the European champions were shocked to be defeated 1-0.

Since then the 26-year-old, who arrived in South Africa short of fitness following a knee operation in April, has been chosen to start by coach Vicente Del Bosque but has yet to score or even look close to living up to his reputation.
