Fernando Torres is worried that the pressure on Spain to win the 2010 World Cup will cause the side to stumble.

The Euro 2008 champions are hot favourites to lift the FIFA World Cup trophy come June next year with the strike-force of Torres and David Villa expected to dazzle.

Speaking to Spanish daily newspaper ABC, Torres stated: "Everyone expects a great deal from us and that pressure is not always good for a player.

"We have good players who have played harmoniously for three or four years now. If we miss the chance to win the World Cup, it is possible that we will not have a second opportunity. The pressure is enormous."

Vicente Del Bosque's men are in Group H alongside teams like Chile, Honduras and Switzerland.
