that was a "experimental" thing suggested by DeFrenZ, but it seems you like it

I think Llorente were dropped
Yeah I liked this idea xD

In the recent call-ups Juanito he is now on the At. Madrid and not in Betis.

-------------------------------------------
if i'm not wrong Cazorla is injured

You aren't wrong mate
I don't know why Diego Lopez who is making a weak season goes as third keeper...
Valdés is doing so much better than Diego Lopez, otherwise I like so much Lafita... I think he can be picked instead of Pablo.

I dont know why Del Bosque keep calling Guiza....
He is playing so sooo bad!

'Cause Del Bosque is trying to keep the old squad as much as he can, with some changes of course, but he has the same idea as Aragones.

BTW, Pique is now an starting over Marchena.

true, updated formation

Just a minor thing, but could you exchange Pique's and Puyol's positions? Seems that the first one uses to play more in the right to use his passing skills better.

done

---
Also here WC team is 90% decided, the only doubts are about forwards and wingers. Cazorla (who was/is injured) and Riera weren't called since October, it seems coach replaced them with Navas (who solved his personal problems) and Negredo (I believe because a big and strong CF is always useful).

I also believe that the WC list is decided.

Navas will go instead Cazorla (injured day after day, his season with Villareal is horrible) , that's sure. But I think that Negredo will not fly to Southafrica. There are too many strikers in the team for one position.

--------------------------------------- Casillas (Reina/D. López) ----------------------------------------
S. Ramos (Iraola) ------- Puyol (Marchena) -------- Piqué (Albiol) ----- Capdevila (Arbeloa)
------------------------------ S. Busquets (Senna / X. Alonso) ----------------------------------------
--------------------- Xavi (Busquets) ---------------------------- C. Fàbregas (Iniesta) --------------
---------- Silva (Navas) ------------------------------------------------------- Iniesta (Mata)-----------
-------------------------------------- Villa (Torres / Güiza) -------------------------------------------------

I hope Navas goes.

He has to be one of the most underated players in the World. He is world class yet gets almost no attention.

The problem of Navas is that him feel anxious when he leaves home, for some personal problems, he is progressively leaving out this problems and thanks to this he can go to the NT, when past years, he can't.

France vs Spain:

I saw this image but to be honest I prefer to keep the image with home kit in first post, besides the players are for 9/11 the same
