Spain NT discussion

Casillas is still only 33. So unless he starts declining or another Spanish GK suddenly becomes elite, he can carry on until 2018 imo.

Spain team for a friendly against Bolivia (30 May):

Goalkeepers: Jose Reina (Napoli), David de Gea (Manchester United),

Defenders: César Azpilicueta (Chelsea), Gerard Piqué (Barcelona) Jordi Alba (Barcelona), Alberto Moreno (Sevilla), Javi Martínez (Bayern Monachium), Raúl Albiol (Napoli)

Midfielders: Juan Mata (Manchester United), Santi Cazorla (Arsenal), David Silva (Manchester City), Xavi Hernández (Barcelona), Cesc Fàbregas (Barcelona), Sergio Busquets (Barcelona), Andrés Iniesta (Barcelona), Ander Iturraspe (Athletic Club)

Forwards: Pedro Rodríguez (Barcelona), Fernando Torres (Chelsea), Gerard Deulofeu (Barcelona)

#Bo-lieve.

da *** is Deulofeu doing there

Reminds me of last season when Montoya was called up despite being on the bench for Barca

VDB

23 man World Cup squad.

Goalkeepers: Iker Casillas, Pepe Reina, David de Gea

Defenders: Sergio Ramos, Gerard Pique, Raul Albiol, Javi Martinez, Jordi Alba, Cesar Azpilicueta, Juanfran Torres

Midfielders: Koke, Xavi, Xabi Alonso, Andres Iniesta, Sergio Busquets, Cesc Fabregas, Santi Cazorla, Pedro Rodriguez, Juan Mata, David Silva

Strikers: Fernando Torres, David Villa, Diego Costa

Fabregas as striker again .......
Zero width
Zero plan B
Expired plan A

That squad is crying out for a winger like Navas, surprised he was left out.

Still, that selection of AMs is crazy.

Oh, okay. Too bad.

 When u think that Jese is their best forward    

Juanfran over Carvajal.

that amazing wingplay with Iniesta and Pedro :proud:could only get better if Torres or Cesc start


thank *** Navas got left out

No Navas, so who's Spain's super sub?

No Carvajal smh

Cesc

No Navas

Pedro & Torres

Hope Spain lose.

Torres? Is Del Bosque mental, or is he confused and thinks it is a Rugby World Cup?!

Why do people care so much about the 3rd choice striker lol? Negredo and Soldado are both shit as well. At least Torres is influential in the dressing room.

Pedro is amazing for Spain so I'm not sure why people are laughing about his inclusion. Navas definitely should have been picked but apparently he was carrying an injury....otherwise, it's a pretty straightforward team selection.

Juanfran is most definitely better than Scrubvajal btw.

you're pathetic

Whenever i saw Atletico i felt Juanfran was meh, he's a very average player.

"Scrubvajal"

Jill makes sense in topics where I agree with him. Weird.

Apziculeta, new arbeloa of spanish NT . Stands out from the rest of the players because of his stone age ball technique.

U mad brah?

VDB dropped the ball big time by not calling up Gabi. Although I'm not sure if he's injured of not.

Anyway VDB will never change his squad style simply because he has had no reason to do so. Spain will probably not win the world cup and only then will it be obvious that he should have made changes.

I don't think making changes can help Spain to win WC 2014. It's unlikely we will win but if we somehow do they it will be due to a sustained dynamic which effectively means that almost all of the key players remain as is. To win with changes needs lot more time and establishment of a new dynamic which in spite of all the efforts will probably never be as successful as the current one. This was the golden generation which has already won more than I could say anyone in football history has ever done. This is going to be their last salute. All I hope for is that they got out fighting with their heads held high and don't end up like France 2002, Germany 1998 or worst of all Italy 2010.

Almost too incensed to talk about Vicente's call ups this time.

I know he's contracted Lippilism but this is just...
