España - Scotland [P+R]

[0le_Spain]

Friendly match that will serve us as preparation for the World Cup qualifier versus Bosnia next Wednesday.

Aragonés will try a very different looking starting XI and Raúl won't start.

Spain

GK: Casillas (Real Madrid)
RB: López Rekarte (R. Sociedad)
CB: Puyol (Barcelona)
CB: Marchena (Valencia)
LB: Del Horno (Ath. Bilbao)
RM: Joaquin (Betis)
CM: Baraja (Valencia)
CM: Xabi Alonso (Liverpool)
LM: Reyes (Arsenal)
FC: Tamudo (Espanyol)
FC: Torres (Atletico Madrid)

Bench: Cañizares (Valencia), Michel Salgado (Real Madrid), Helguera (Real Madrid), Juanito(Betis), Romero (Deportivo), Victor (Deportivo), Albelda (Valencia), Valerón (Deportivo), Vicente (Valencia), Raúl(Real Madrid), Morientes (Real Madrid).


Scotland squad:

Goalkeepers: Gordon (Hearts), Shearer (Coventry City).

Defenders: G Caldwell (Hibernian), Mackay (Norwich City), McNamara (Celtic), McNamee (Livingston), Pressley (Hearts), Webster (Hearts).

Midfielders: Cameron (Wolverhampton Wanderers), Ferguson (Blackburn Rovers), Fletcher (Manchester Utd), Holt (Norwich City), Naysmith (Everton), Pearson (Celtic), Quashie (Portsmouth).

I'd prefer Canizares in goal for Spain, Casillas is still overated

And Vicente on instead of Reyes

Morientes/Reyes upfront instead of Tamudo

Valeron should start aswell

 

[Crusad3r]

Reyes is not better than Vicente as winger, Reyes should play as 2nd forward or something.

Vicente and Reyes, both should play

 

[SlowSilver]

Yeah, on the wing, Vicente is MUCH btter than Reyes. I hate Reyes anyway, but still.

You obviously don't watch Liga games. No offence.

He saved us all by himself at the end of the season when we were getting our ass kicked.


Anyway the line up looks good, I would've like to have seen Mori start ahead of Tamudo. Morientes/Torres

 

[Nuno]

It's a friendly. The coach is obviously resting some of his star players.

 

[enigma]

Wasn't it a world cup qualifier?

 

[johnnybrubacker]

the spanish coach and reyes said scotland are equal to san marino which is probably true at the moment. 5-0 atleast

Yeah but Mori doesn't start for us, so why not play him in the NT?

It's not like he needs rest.

 

[Bilo90]

[Jambo Den]

I hope we get utterly destroyed.
