That's more like it.

To questions around the world about Spain's futility over the last few months, the team responded with a resounding 4-0 win Sunday in Luxembourg.

It was not a major challenge for the Spaniards, but this was the kind of victory the team needed to regain some confidence. Here are some major points about Spain's big win:

Diego Costa Gets His Goal

It was the question of the hour (or at least one of two): When would Diego Costa get his elusive goal for Spain. There was already much press about how Costa had become the first Spanish striker to wait as long as he did to score his first goal. Coach Vicente del Bosque went on and on about how the team needed to adapt to Costa while the player pledged his desire to fit into Spain's system.

It all seemed like it would continue to go as wrong as it did when del Bosque approached the Brazilian with becoming a Spanish national.

And during the opening of the game, Costa made it seem as if his time with Spain could be numbered. His body language said it all. Despite his team leading the game, he was frustrated. When Paco Alcacer scored his goal, Costa was slow to celebrate with his teammate. It seemed like the only thing on his mind was scoring the goal. He had a chance early on to do just that when he was put through on a breakaway. But instead of firing it in, he tried to chip it over the goal and wound up hitting it lamentably wide. He also missed a slew of other times to score the goal.

But the pressure came off when he did get the goal. Albeit in the oddest of ways. Off a corner, there was a scramble in the box that wound up going off three Spanish feet before finding Costa parked in front of the net. He controlled the ball and tapped it in.

His celebration said it all. He stood there relieved, but knowing that he needs to do better.

With the pressure off, it will be interesting to see how he does from here on out.

Paco Alcacer is The Man to Lead The Team up Top

Costa is the man getting the buzz. He is, after all, the top scorer in the Premier League. But Spain's real number nine is Paco Alcacer. The 21-year-old who plays for Valencia has scored in three straight games for Spain and simply looks comfortable in the system. He lacks the pace of Costa, but he suits the tiki-taka system perfectly with his well-timed runs and ability to find space. He could be the guy to lead the way for years to come.

David De Gea Solid

If Costa's goal was Question No. 1, then Iker Casillas' status was No.2. Spain's captain was subject to scrutiny after a poor mistake against Slovakia on Thursday. Many called for David de Gea to finally get the reins in goal, and del Bosque did just that on Sunday, despite claiming that he had premeditated that move.

And it worked.

Granted, de Gea was rarely test, but he was solid when he was and looked secure with the ball on his feet. It added a sense of composure to Spain's back four. On set pieces, he looked ready to challenge the aerial flight of the ball, something Casillas has never done well in his career and is particularly poor at right now. There was one corner where de Gea punched the ball away awkwardly, but it was the only blemish in a solid performance. If he continues his current form, there is no reason why he should not be Spain's No.1.

David Silva is the Catalyst

Let us put it this way: Andres Iniesta is a genius, and Koke looks solid in the middle of the park.

But the man who makes or breaks Spain is David Silva. The other two are essential, but he is the missing piece. When Silva is at his finest, this team creates and scores. When he goes missing--like against Slovakia, or Chile or the Netherlands--Spain lacks creativity and the killer instinct that makes it so dangerous.

The Manchester City man was terrific on Sunday. He scored the opener then set up the second, all the while helping Spain find holes in Luxembourg's defense.

In Slovakia, he was easily manhandled by the bigger side. This could be the key. If other teams outmuscle him, the Spain's play in the final third could continue to struggle. If Silva finds space, he could make Spain extremely dangerous.
