Valdes starts for Spain

he deserves it.. & it normal.. its a friendly..
Reina played first match.. Valdes shouls take chance now..

Casillas could play in 2nd half ( last 30 minutes/ like in the match vs usa)

Yeah maybe Valdes can let Casillas have 5 minutes before the game is over

Great to see him get some recongnition. Has been brilliant for the past few years imo.

Casillas will start the next one again though

Sats wise, it could be argued Valdes is as good as Reina and Iker. Fact is, Spain is insanely stacked in every position

Maybe he will let Casillas play again once he's got bored of being Spain's goalkeeper

lol what about it?!

Nice Villa scored already!

lol at the Ramos comment

yea defense is lacking, especially with Puyol getting older. He more than likely will be done before the next World Cup. With Spain's midfield power, they are capable of not letting teams really expose there defense

He didn't get to play the full game. Iker is on for the last few minutes

speaking about Depth? Very true.. they just lack WC players backup for Pique & puyol but still look @ these lineups..

He was pretty good actually. Made some important saves that denied my country a goal. I was impressed. Then he got hurt in a corner and was taken out.

I lol'd when the crowd gave Casillas more of a cheer than the local players

We're such whores.

Whell, most of them were probably drunk as hell and remember that Venezuelans are pretty quick to change national teams depending on who is winning. I can clearly remember when I was there that some of them loved Brazil but when Italy won the World Cup they all were supporting Italy and they said they supported Italy from the beginning. They are also lots of bandwaggoners there who only support Barcelona and Real Madrid because they are the best teams in the world (Not saying all of them are though)

I am still surprised they did not cheer when they scored the goals. Well, at least they cheered when Miku and Arango scored those offside goals.
