I'd keep Martinez and Juanfran and ship out Moreno and Mata

The dropped 7 will be imo:
Carvajal, Moreno (As Azplicueta can play on both sides), Koke, Iturraspe, Llorente, Cazorla and Mata/Navas.
Thiago Alcantara is going to the World Cup
I remember some people saying Del Bosque wouldn't pick him. hahahaha

Interesting that you were the only one to say Moreno will be dropped and give a kind of explanation for that, since logically, it doesn't make that much sense.
There are a lot of natural right backs, who have been playing as RB these last seasons and almost always.
Meanwhile, there are ONLY 2 natural left backs in this list, and they are: Alba and Moreno. VDB knows and CANNOT make a huge mistake by supposing Azpilicueta can play in both sides because it is not a league match, but a WC Competition, and things like these are taken seriously, there is no room for experiment.
Because while at it we can also say that Juanfran COULD play as LB... maybe Carvajal also... but they would probably be crap in a serious WC match and it would be a hell of a risk. If we were playing a Football Manager game... it's ok... but in WC you need skill, talent, and the RIGHT = IDEAL positions.
Del Bosque will think of this hopefully so that he will not have to panic if Alba gets injured/suspended (hopefully not).
As for the midfield, Spain has plenty and it will not matter if Iturraspe or Mata, Cazorla or Thiago get dropped. While for the offensive side it is the same. I doubt Negredo would be dropped but I wouldn't mind that since he didn't perform well in the second part of the season with City and Dzeko took his place by outshining him. Can't say the same for Llorente though. And Torres... I will probably never understand why he is even considered for the final squad.
Serisouly Koke and Carvajal? Koke is the only CM I think beside Xavi and Carvajal is better than Albiol taking into account Thiago's fitnees its more likely he is gonna be dropped instead of Koke
