Vogts claimed that it will be a difficult task for the Spaniards to defend the title next year as the team will be under huge amount of pressure. He stated that after winning the European Championships in 2008 and the World Cup
in 2010, the side could be short of willpower in next year’s competition.
“http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Spain-c3011 will not defend the title. If you have won as many titles as the Spanish, you lack the critical two to three per cent willpower,” he was quoted as saying in an interview.

“For sure, Germany can contend. We currently have perhaps the best team in the world, but now the lads have to prove it and win it. http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Germany-c2904 will take the title - if they make no mistakes in defence,” he concluded.
