Teams: Spain, Ukraine, Tunisia and Saudi Arabia.Strength of the group: A weak group which should see the most pointless match-up in Tunisia and Saudi Arabia. Even given Spain's penchance for spectacular failure, they can't fail to get out of this group.
City link: Albert Riera was Spanish so he can count can't he?
Keep an eye on: David Villa. Could displace Raul in the staring line-up and tipped as an outside bet to be a golden boot candidate.
Expect: Spain to actually perform well in a World Cup group.
Don't expect: Ukraine to proceed to far if Andriy Shevchenko doesn't fully recover from injury.
Qualifiers: Spain and Ukraine.
