Was just having a chat about some of the players who will or won't make it to the tournament on facebook with some friends and I thought I'd open this thread where I can hear more opinions.
Copying/Pasting what I wrote there about Fernando Torres after he was omitted from the squad for the friendly against Venezuela:
"Thank god he wasn't selected for Spanish National Team! That would've made NO sense! He's been getting a free ride for too long now! Soldado got what he deserved, got selected and took his chance. Hat-trick! Him, Llorente and Villa for Euro 2012 unless he COMPLETELY turns things around in the next 2 months! Hell at this point, Raul and Negredo should be ahead of him in pecking order as well and neither will probably even make it."
I hope that this was not just a ONE off and that he'll continue to be overlooked and have to EARN his place back in the most talented national team in the world with the deepest squad where there are many more deserving players unless he COMPLTELY turns things around in the few months he has left and even then, he should only be 'considered' because guys like Soldado and Llorente have been playing well all season!
Feel free to discuss this or any other player about Euro 2012 and who will/should make it or won't, injuries etc.
