UEFA U21 European Championships (Israel, June 5th - June 18th)

De Gea; Montoya, Moreno, Bartra, I. Martínez; Illarramendi, Thiago, Isco, Tello, Muniain; y Rodrigo

Montoyo has more history with that team than Carvajal, it's normal that he starts. you shouldnt be surprised by these things by now, it's how NT football works.

Sarabia is on the bench as well so that kindly settles it no?

Sarabia is a flop.

Don't know what you Halamadrid Lol at Bartra and Montoya starting. Bartra >>> any other CB in Spain U-21 and Montoya and Carvajal are not very different.

yes they are, as in, Carvajal is miles better lol

jordi amat is also a lot better than bartra lol, take off them googles

Sure, let's see how many games he plays next year.

Edit cause your ninja edit: Jordi amat shouldn't even be a defender. He is talented but can't really defend.

you really want to make pointless predictions? there is reality then there is the future lol, in reality carvajal is miles better, but montoya starts because he has been with that team longer.

Montoya looks nothing special from what I've seen, Carvajal is better.

Spain U21 looks so strong on paper though I don't think there will be a difference.

their double pivot is what i am worried about. Illara and Thiago? really? well it's youth footy so...

I like Batra but it's big talk when Barca coaches don't trust him more than Song, Mascherano, and Adriano, only one of whom is known for their defense.

No fear Hala, Carvajal will be at the World Cup

Nick it's fine - Thiago is solid defensively. Preparation for the upcoming Obi Mikel about to happen to him at Barca

Both Spain and Netherlands are in ation today. Both teams at grass roots level have implemeted dutch philosophies and principles. I expect to see a final between both nations that always stick to their philosophies. I must admit I enjoyed watching italy last night. England have shown that they have a bleak future and will continue to import foreign talent.

I am looking forward to Thiago Alcantara tonight to make his mark.

getafe

anyways I only said sarabia because he is usually a starter for spain u21 but is on the bench now and nixk said the coach usually use tried and tested players

Bartra isn't better than anyone on the bench sorry but seeing as there is only one true cb on the bench and one versatile who could play there I can understand that choice

but montoya really surprised me. him and Carvajal are nothing alike and I think ojce bellerin becomes older montoya will fall further back in the pecking order

I don't really rate Bartra, but other than Inigo Spain really have no one else tbh.

Nacho is a CB as well you know and Muniesa can also play there iirc

lol Nacho, dunno why he is hyped so much, him being at madrid has something to do with it.

madrid version of montoya/bartra

but seriously if juanfran can make the spanish team so can nacho

Cheryshev at false 9 will rape bartra

Muniesa

He's known for two things:

1. Having curly hair

2. Being sent off on debut and never being seen from since

Time to watch some dutch football

Mainly because he can't stay fit for more than a month at a time, not because he didn't have potential.

Asexpected, Spain using Cruyyfism to retain possession and opening up Russia at will.

Iñigo and Illara both shaved their head

Txampions

Thiagito's decision making needs to improve. Illa is the one setting the tempo for Spain, performing the Guardiola role,the #4 in the van Gaal system.

Why isn't Deulito playing?

Inigo0o0o0

Isco-Thiago-Illara not working well so far.

Canales is on the bench, right?
