Spain

[DonAndres]

I actually like the first kits. They look kind of royal/classic with the color tones. 2nd kits look quite great too.

 

[Catorce]

Love the first kit as well, with the gold Will buy two kits this summer: Argentina with #10 Messi and Spain with #8 Xavi. Hopefully will finish my BSc. Economics in June, would be a nice gift to myself for achieving that feat

Don't like the black kit or Argentina's really...Is this a new trend, to not have your flag's colors?

Squad for ITaly game :

Goalkeepers: Casillas, Reina, Valdes,
Fenders. Juanfran, Javi Martínez, Ramos, Alba, Azpilicueta, Albiol
Midfielders: Xabi Alonso , Busquets, Xavi, Koke, Thiago, Iniesta, Navas, Cazorla, Cesc, Silva.
Forwards: Pedro, Negredo and Diego Costa.


No Arbeloa

Villa Mata and Torres have also been left out.

Isco back with the under 21's

Villa and Torres are done in my books.

 

[ManusXavi]

I am very confident the World Cup squad are these 22 + Pique. I like it too.

 

[Maria]

I'm happy for Azpilicueta, Koke and Thiago and that Cazorla has been called up instead of Mata. I would also like to see Llorente at the WC, but I don't know who he could replace.

 

[MVBarcaFan]

I would think that Del Bosque would call up four forwards for the WC: Costa, Llorente, Negredo, and maybe Villa (simply because he and Costa play well together at Atletico).

 

[ThwiX]

Thiagoarty1:. Suck it, losers and haters saying Del Bosque would never call him up .

 

[DonAndres]

u21 friendly vs Germany right now

Pacheco; Carvajal, Amat, S. Gómez, A. Moreno; R. Pardo, S. Roberto, Isco, Muniain, Jesé, Morata

Deulo on the bench

 

[suckabov]

Spain will have a field day, Germany's best u21 players have been called up for the senior team/u19.

 

[linetty]

Stream please?

Morata hasnt done anything this season to be in the squad over Paco tbh. Frankly if Paco was a Blanco the media would be calling for him to go to Brazil (see the Jese campaign with a season not any better than Paco's)

I'd agree with the Paco/Morata debate. I'd say Paco is much more of a poacher though, whereas Morata offers height and good pace. Rodrigo used to be favored over Morata despite not being better, then Morata completely pushed him out. Paco has the ability to do the same, but he needs to refine his all-round game more.

I dunno, having Gomez in defense and Roberto in midfield doesn't look to be doing them any favors. Deulofeu should sub in for the entire 2nd half.
