^^ Thiago knocked out with injury. Can't play this WC. Fat chance Busquets is not starting. Spain plays with a double pivot. Can sacrifice a forward or two for that luxury.

agree, where is inigo martines????

my spain XI without considering this 30 man squad..

......................casillas

juanfran - ramos - inigo - moreno

..........................Xabi

.................Xavi
.,...............................koke

......................Iniesta

.........LLorrente ...............Costa

It would be a shame if Azpilicueta isn't a starter.

Alcantara out

Thiago injured. What a sad sight, and he's been waiting this entire while to play

Yeah, he's been playing great this season. Azipilicueta, Ramos, Pique and Juanfran should be the defensive line up

@vendetta: he ain't that good :)

"he ain't that good."

Say whatever you want to say about Azpilicueta; it is your opinion after all. But to me - and probably to most of the EPL fans - anyone who dethrones possibly the greatest English leftback ever (Ashley Cole) and does it while not playing in his best position is way beyond good.

At this point, Knibis might as well go on a full on rampage spamming posts saying this
"I HATE EPL"

Is that really all he does Zakzook????

Spain has a lot to choose from...

I have no clue of what Del Bosque is going to do... I hope he stays loyal to those of the previous WC and EC

Despite being out of form Pique, Busquets and Alba have been key in previous competitions and could/should be lined up in Spain's starting XI.

I agree

Pique is too inconsistent. I'd rather have Inigo Martinez in CB beside that idiot Ramos (who somehow hasn't gotten a single red card with Spain). And I agree with @Knibis. I feel that Azpilicueta isn't as good as he is hyped to be. Good player, but not great (yet). Juanfran or Ramos are much better and more suited at RB. Carvajal has also had a phenomenal season at Madrid. His shutting down of Ribery over two legs is something to be in awe of.

Lol Vendetta, with the actual level of Ashley Cole, even Montoya would get a starting place...
We are not talking about Ashley of 2008-2009 do we ?

And knibis can have his own view without being attacked each time, many fans have a biased EPL view and nobody is blaming them...

Navas and Negredo have been dropped, feel sad for Navas

Yeah me too. I don't why he wasn't put in the squad I honestly don't know. Jesus Navas

del bosque is a biased motherfucker! y didnt he take jesus navas? just coz he play for the PL now? the last time around fabregas was given the boot coz back then he used to play for arsenal! he gives more preference to the players from the la liga! and i would also like to tell him that he better stop thinkin himself as a great coach! hez doin nothin! spain ave 7 players from the barca side who play year in year out, hence the better coordination!! if anyone has to be given credit it shud be the barca coaches!

Navas dropped and Torres makes it. GREAT.

I want to see David Villa lead the front line with that service....Xabi, Busquets, Xavi, Iniesta, Fabregas, David Silva....

i would score 3 goals in this world cup with that service.
