Re: Spain NT discussion
Hans, I believe he was referring to injury prone!! As I said San Jose provides the same as Javi once did. Javi made it before because he could play DLM as well as CB, but issue now (besides his injury record) is he is much more of a CB now than DLM. Right now that role is being played by San Jose and he has played both roles with NT very well this past year. The versatility is important since it will allow Del Bosque to drop either Bruno or Bartra and go with an extra forward.
@Hal, Azpili is the alternative to Alba at LB. He is an interesting player. Originally a RB, Mourinho coverted him to left and at this point, he isn't even considered as a RB!!! If he was, Del Bosque might consider going with only 3 laterals to free up an extra spot for forwards, but at this stage, both Carvajal and JuanFran are too good to be dropped. Azipli is good, much better defensively than Alba, but Alba is same to NT re offense as Marcelo is to Madrid.

England is my favorite team when Finland aren't in the tournament - hasn't happened too many times yet
Spain's best chance at the Euros is De Gea and their defence, because they won't be scoring many goals.

Re: Spain NT discussion
This clown VdB has called up Torres all those years when he was absolute shit and now when he is actually in the best form since his prime Liverpool days and scoring goals regularly, he is left out.
Bartra with 4 league starts the entire season called up, Javi Martinez left out.
Casillas still in there.
Clown of a manager.

Not awful lol. They are still one of the next NTs in the world, not on that all time great level from 08-12 but still...
Even if the likes of Thiago, Isco, Koke are no where near prime Xaviesta or Alonso, they still form one of the best midfield lines around.
What is garbage is their attack. Completely utterly shit. From Villa and Torres to these scrubs

LMAO I was wondering the same.
How the hell do you call up 2013 Torres without blinking but you snub 2016 Torres when you don't have a single top alternative

Meh, better to give the kids a chance to get some international experience under their belts. Torres' 3 months of good football shouldn't fool anyone, his time is past.

Re: Spain NT discussion
It reminds me a bit of France in 2008 and 2010.... the golden generation is basically out except for a few stragglers on the downside of their prime or just on their downside... and whole lot of either unproven players or meh ones.
Your heart as a Spain fan wants to feel that they'll still be good and contend... but your mind really tells you this team is in transition and you hope that they lose gracefully whenever it happens.

The other 4 spots are going to go to Ramos, Juanfran, Koke and Isco
Saul and Lucas to miss out their places to Pedro and Nolito. Next time

Re: Spain NT discussion
Del Bosque has gone the way of most club teams with a 4-3-3 formation, wingers rather than AMs.
He has taken 2 for every position plus a 3rd GK.
It's De Gea (Iker, Rico)
Juan Fran (Bellerin)
Pique (Bartra)
Ramos (San Jose)
Alba (Azpilicueta)
Busquets (Bruno)
Cesc (Koke)
Iniesta (Thiago)
Pedro (Lucas)
Aduriz (Morata)
Silva (Nolito)

Poor Saul. There could be an argument for him to start, and he doesn't even make it smh.

Re: Spain NT discussion
So for all of you that ripped the Spanish seleccion, have you watched the two games thus far. LOL we sure have a lack of scoring options!!!
Meanwhile the favorites, at least according to the lot of you, are dropping player after player before the real game s actually begin.
VDB is going with a 4-3-3 formation with wingers instead of the more normal Spanish AMs and today he even switched to a 3-3-4 formation once he put out two DLMs and had two strikers out there with 2 wingers giving lots of scoring options.
This is only warmups, but I still feel your prediction of no scoring options are a way off base.

I would have taken him over Pedro, but it comes down to a choice of wingers vs AMs.
