Valencia forward Juan Mata hopes Spain can go on a long run at this summer's World Cup and make it all the way to the final.

The current European Champions are one of the favourites to lift the trophy in South Africa and will face Switzerland, Chile and Honduras in Group H.

"Let's hope we can be in South Africa for a long time and that we can have lots of good things to talk about after every game," said Mata, who will be representing Spain at a major championship for the first time.
