1 - Victor Valdes

How the hell did Diego fucking Lopez make the squad over him? He is a great keeper, but he's been nowhere near Valdes this season...

I hope Spain crash out thanks to a Casillas blunder.

If he plays like he has been playing this season + given the fact it's a KO match ... chances are there imo.

I don't think it's going to happen though, but this year wasn't particularly Iker's super season.

Yeah it sucks for him but I'm not bitter over it, it would have been complete fail for him to be #3, he would hardly play anyway if at all.

So Lopez got called up? Or de Gea? I hear different things

 

[iced1776]

Sport says Lopez

But I'm just thinking, when would Valdes ever get his chance? Can't see them ever tossing out Casillas or Reina

He wouldn't be all that happy being third as say De Gea who is an up and coming keeper or Lopez who would be contend as he is less notable. Valdes has years of experience and it would be a shame for a player who's won the champions league to be sitting on the bench next to a second choice keeper.

and Valdes will always be a great keeper who never played for his national side, well Catalunya isn't part of FIFA, anyway Valdes is still relatively young, we see keepers playing for national sides in their late 30s, so next WC if he maintains this consitency i'm sure he could have a say for first if not second, which is more dignified than third.

He wasn't gonna play either way, but in the case that Spain wins the WC, it'd have been a nice addition to his list of honors

Well yeah, but I meant a chance to actually play on the team, ever.

Del Bosque will probably cap him (in the non-Mafia sense of the word ) after the World Cup.

Victorrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr valdesss

 

[BlaugranaGirl]

Hallejulah! He really deserves this. It would have been a joke if Lopez had been picked ahead of him.

 

[AzaR]

Just heard on sky sports news that Valdes, Biscuit and Pedro are all in the squad

All deserve to be in the squad.

'Valdes' is currently a trending topic on Twitter, lol. People reacting to the news that he's been picked.
