Busquets will start all matches in EURO imho.. this lineup is to attacking..
 
Expect Iniesta to be marooned out wide again to accomodate both Busquets and Alonso. :(

Safety first but I much prefer him dictating things in the centre.

in this moment navas is in down form...I don't know why navas is in euro...

spain's style is same than barça..busquets could play.

Del bosque said "if I were a player, I will want be Busquets"
 
How did Torres get called up? He must be third choice. Im supporting España of course!

At least Navas provides natural width, something which none of the other Spanish midfielders or forwards do.
 
Yep. Navas is the only REAL winger in there.

Even guys like Cazorla cut inside all the time and Silva, Mata, many others are more like AMF's.

Plus Jesus missed out on World cup because of injuries and etc., I agree that he hasn't had his best season but in some ways he deserves to finally represent Spain in big stage and hey if Torres deserves to be there, then I think Navas definitely does.

I wonder how Soldado feels though! Poor guy must be GUTTED! He deserves to be there far more than Torres and even more than Negredo.
 
Think Spain will pick up a comfortable win, South-Korea aren't what they used too be. My prediction is 2-0.

Didn't Navas play in the last World Cup? I'm sure he came off the bench in the final.
 
it wasn`t a friendly more of a training , it look more like a 11 vs 5 w/ 97% possession . So Salado is playing and goal scorer Negredo is not?

I hope Spain has a non-injury tourney !
 
Did they actually have 97% possesion?! That can't be true.
 
4-1 spain win
torres
cazorla
negredo
xabi alondo (p)

Beñat is a great player, tomorrow he played good match..will be pretty that this player go to EURO but..del bosque say no..

Torres is UP, scored, runned..i think that torre is in 11 againts italy.
 
Did anyone noticed Torres scored the goal without seeing the net? He was practicing that for a long time.
 
few days for the match...

i saw trainings..


---------casillas
arbeloa--pique-ramos--alba
-----busquets--alonso---

---------torres

Yes, that's more like it. Because I think Xavi will still be fairly 'central'.
 
It'll probably end up like the World Cup.

Spain start the first match with both Silva and Iniesta out wide, which leaves them crowded in the middle, lacking any width before Del Bosque brings in someone who keeps the width a bit more, like Pedro or Navas.

Silva didn't play another minute in that tournament after the 1-0 defeat to the Swiss.
 
so, big match today :)) i've only got one thing to say to u guys...........



please be gentle! :ANX:
