Biggest Storyline: Who Will Be the Leading Goal Scorer for Spain
Let's face it, Liechtenstein has a very minuscule chance of winning this contest. The best Liechtenstein can do is try to limit the damage.
That is going to leave Spain to compete against themselves. With all of the talented goal scorers on this team, it is going to be a race to see which one can land at the top of the tally board.
Player to Watch for Spain: David Villa
Villa is one of the most explosive goal scorers on the planet. He always has a knack for giving peak performances for his Spain team.
Against a weaker opponent like Liechtenstein, Villa will be left with many chances and opportunities to flash his amazing skill.
Player to Watch for Liechtenstein: Franz Burgmeier
Burgmeier is key to everything Liechtenstein hopes to do. He is a tremendous midfielder that is a capable ball handler and solid defender.
He is also their leading goal scorer. If Liechtenstein is going to generate any offense in this one, chances are it is going to be due to Burgmeier.
Key Matchup: Spains' Front Line vs. Goalkeeper Peter Jehle
Peter Jehle is going to have his work cut out for him in this one. If he Liechtenstein is going to keep this match respectable then Jehle is going to have to be at the top—if not over the top—of his game.
He is going to get tested early and often in this one.
What They're Saying:
Due to injuries, Spain will have some uncapped players on their squad for this match. Here is what sports.ndtv.com had to say about it:
"Without injured Barcelona pair Gerard Pique and Carles Puyol, as well as Athletic Bilbao fullback Andoni Iraiola, coach Vicente Del Bosque called on Atletico Madrid centerback Alvaro Dominguez, Sporting Gijon defender Alberto Botia and Barcelona B player Martin Montoya to fill in.
"There are some new names in the list but that doesn't mean we're eliminating others like (Carlos) Marchena and (Joan) Capdevila from future squads," Del Bosque said on Thursday. "We're using this opportunity to bring in young players so we get to know them better. We're well covered."

Final Score:
Spain 5
