Spain

Hopefully, the new coach will release Deulofeu from the doghouse, once he's recovered from his injury.

Reports that De La Fuente could get fired if Spain don't win against Italy in Nations League.

Luis de la Fuente, cuestionado

Según apunta 'El Larguero' de la 'Cadena SER', el seleccionador español no acaba de convencer ni a la Federación ni a los jugadores y se juega el cargo en la Nations League

I knew he was a bum but didn't expect he'd be questioned so soon.

Get Marcelino in, he's been wating for this job for some time and is the best available Spanish coach (besides Lucho who I don't think will return).

Why are they putting so much weight on a friendly tournament smh.
But he shouldn't have been appointed in the first place. Surely Spain can find better coaches than that.

 

[Messi983]

Iraola is leaving Rayo.

Don Ernie to Spain, Iraola to Bilbao?

 

[Andresito]

What an incredibly mediocre squad.

 

[Porque]

Incredible squad. Well done De La Fuente. Nations League incoming.
















For Italy.

Luis Enrique dipped at the right time.

If this team has a proper 9 (or a goal scoring attacker) they would have been one of the best teams around tbh

Midfield with guys such as Rodri, Gavi, Pedri (If fit), Zubimendi, and Merino can be worked with.

Poor selection of CBs and the attack is also not great. The right-back is pretty dry with Carvajal aging but they have at least Arnau but he wasn't called up. They have a better selection of LBs especially when Balde gets fit.

Not a fan of the CBs though, they are all just bang average ball playing merchants who are good at one thing but aren't top class at anything else.

No Yamal and Cubarsi, no watching the game

 

[Messi983]

Good for us they are not playing.

I'll probably watch Faye's debut for Senegal now.

 

[DonAK]

Good stuff. Maybe the Temu Pep now finally learned not to play U21 players until their legs fall off.

Spain Provisional Squad for the Euros

My predicted lineup for the Euros.

Williams (21)--------Morata (31)------Yamal (16)
----------------Pedri (21)-----Ruiz (28)
-----------------------Rodri (27/28)
Grimaldo (28)--Cubarsi (17)--Le Normand (27)--Carvajal (32)
-----------------------Simon (26/27)

I think Laporte will start alongside Le Normand.

Also think Pedro Porro should have been called up ahead of Navas. Although Navas could also be one of the players who won't make the final squad (alongside Ayoze and probably but hopefully not Fermin) and Llorente will be used as a RB. Nacho can play there too.

Other than that a solid and deep squad but they obviously miss a good #9. Really a shame Ansu's career is ruined by injuries, would be so much fun to see him playing alongside Nico and Yamal.
