Arnau, I thought you do not support Spain. Aren't you Catalan who thinks that Spain is crap and wants Catalan team to play instead of Spain?

Víctor Valdés finally got a shot with the Spanish national team, being named amongst the prelim squad ... I reckon he'll go to the World Cup, though probably as 3rd choice ...

good to see Javi Martínez in there ... I believe Barça should get him this summer ...

 

[Arnau]

I would call Bojan, he's the future of Spain attack.

PS: surprised he rather Azpilicueta instead Monreal, that maybe mean he'll use arbeloa in the left mostly.

 

[MaSsiVe]

De Gea
Diego Lopez
Albiol
Azpilicueta
Javi Martinez
Guiza
Negredo


This is my guess, which 7 players do you reckon will/should be left out of the squad?

 

[Arnau]

Albiol out? no way. J.Martinez > Senna. I would add Llorente to the world cup team, he's diferent than the rest of strikers.

 

[MaSsiVe]

tbh I don't really knowm much about Martinez but I do know Senna and he's a hell of a player...not sure about his current form/fitness though.

And you'd take Albiol instead of who, Marchena?

 

[Mandieta6]

If Valdes isn't going to break into the squad, I'd take De Gea as the 3rd choice. He's the one for the future (there's another guy, forgot his name and where he plays at, whose also very good), and they might as well give him experience. Like England are set to do with Hart.

 

[Arnau]

Senna had a very poor season... he isn't even starter in Villarreal. Cazorla out for sure as well.

maybe you mean Asenjo? he's also from Atlético but has just sustained a serious injury.
You have a point though, taking Iker, Reina and Valdez would leave at least one of them immensely frustrated.


Arnau I thought that about Cazorla too since he's been injured, right? He's still awesome...
Thing is I think you'd be better off with one more attacking option at the expense of a defender.

 

[Arnau]

those were my ideal 23:

casillas, valdés, reina.

ramos, arbeloa, puyol, capdevila, piqué, albiol, marchena.

Alonso, Busquets, Xavi, Iniesta, Javi Martinez, Cesc, Silva, Navas, Pedro.

Torres, Villa, Bojan, Llorente.

No, no. He's a starter for some midtable or lower team. I think he's called Roberto.
