Why does mononymous striker Raúl become synonymous with choke artist as soon as he dons the Spanish colors? Perhaps because he was anonymous during Spain's first-round washout at World Cup '98, then missed a key penalty kick in Euro 2000. "I haven't shown the best of me with the national team," says Raúl. "I desperately want to change that." Don't count on it.
