I see the pathetic "The German team aren't really German" comments are doing the rounds again.
FRANCE team to face Spain: Lloris; Reveillere, Rami, Koscielny, Clichy; Debuchy, M'Vila, Cabaye, Malouda, Ribery; Benzema
SPAIN team to face France: Casillas; Arbeloa, Ramos, Pique, Alba; Busquets, Xabi Alonso, Xavi; Iniesta, Silva, Cesc Fabregas
No Llorente or any striker again? I hope they get pumped!
Don't blame them. Playing Torres as the striker is as bad as playing without any striker. It is clear the Spain coach has more faith in their midfield than strikers. Just hope this match produces a goal or two and won't drag all the way to the penalty shootout.
poor Llorente cant get a kick this tourney. its a shame as i think spain would do so much better with him in the team
They wouldn't tbh as he simply doesn't fit their system and especially their style of play. Good player for sure but i get why he's continuously overlooked for Spain.
Surely at the very least he's a good plan B to bring on when they struggle to score? He's an aerial threat for sure and they have the likes of Jesus Navas to fire the crosses in.
Oh for sure. That's exactly why he's been picked for the squad and i definitely think he offers a fantastic Plan B option should things not go according to plan (which is rare for Spain hence him not getting minutes).
