If England were to go up against Spain at some point, I have little doubt that the tandem of Villa and Torres being fed by Iniesta and Xabi would tear England's midfield and defence into tiny bits.
Spain's choking reputation doesn't really last when it's been so recently disproven. They carried that monkey on their backs for a long time, but it's pretty much been shaken now. The same can't be said for the Dutch or English.
