  1. Last night's Spain 4-1 South Korea warm-up @Sport_360 report with props for a happier-looking Fernando Torres: shar.es/qlTYM
  2. @benjaminwoodman He's not most athletic, but superb passer and organiser. Looks at home at international level. Betis w/ fight on hands.
  3. @DavidHartrick I'm keeping the faith. You can pick holes in any country's side, but Spain on their day still best XI by a long way I reckons
  4. @ibrna yeah definitely. another reason to keep the two deep in midfield.
  5. @ibrna Yep, it defo seems he's going to stick with Alonso & Busquets as two deep midfielders. Worked at WC, and Alonso cant hold alone.
  6. @DavidHartrick He might be planning on rotating in group games, giving Xavi a rest and playing Cazorla v Ireland for example. Fingers Xed.
  7. @DavidHartrick blindness is bit strong, but he's defo keen to keep the group dynamic going. Maybe thinks if not broke dont fix, but risky.
  8. @ibrna It's a tough call. In spots up for grabs I'd lean towards Juanfran at RB and now Torres up front. RW is Silva v Pedro v Mata v Navas
  9. @covjohn123 blame the RFEF and late Copa del Rey final date. Athletic & Barca players on week's rest, joining up now for China on Sunday.
  10. Del Bosque: "We expect Fàbregas to be ok, but we must wait. Beñat showed his qualities like the others. He adapted perfectly to our style"
  11. Del Bosque: "Torres gives us pace and movement. He links well with the players behind. He is happy and we must use that."
  12. @Ascott1987 It looks like they'll play a traditional 9, and with Llorente fitness issues Torres could be coming into form at right time...
  13. @callumnewell Hi Callum, I reckon Spain used six subs - Adrian, Dominguez, Soldado, Negredo, Bruno & Casillas. Silva played 90 mins.
  14. Torres stakes case for starting spot as Spain ease past South Korea 4-1 in Euro 2012 warm-up @Sport_360 report: shar.es/qJypH
  15. Rayo Vallecano site @rayoherald who generally know their stuff reckon Swansea interested in ex-Rayo boss Sandoval to replace Rogers.
  16. Xavi, Iniesta, Llorente, Piqué etc will be back for Spain's last warm-up against former coach Camacho's China in Sevilla on Sunday.
  17. FT Spain 4-1 Korea. Winners ahead of euros defo Torres, maybe Silva & Cazorla. Less impressive Mata & Albiol. Benat good but not going.
  18. 4-1 Spain. Soldado with excellent curling pass and Negredo slots first-time past the Korean keeper.
  19. David Silva now Spain captain. First Man City player to skipper Spain / World Champions / Euro Champions?
