Any chance Azpilicueta is the #1 RB?

I'm surprised Morata and Jese weren't at least given a spot on the 30 man. Kids are the future of Spanish football.

Edit: shite completely didn't realize Isco isn't up there either wtf?

Strong roster. They should be right there with Brasil and Argentina as tournament favorites.

Isco and Muniain also missed out. Interestingly enough Iturraspe made the prelim squad.

Hopefully Thiago gets healed up soon enough to make the final 23. I'd love to see him rock out with his cock out in Brasil

I'm assuming Casillas will get the start but does de Gea have any chance?

What about Mata? Think he makes the squad? I know he's missed out on recent call ups.

It's from Office Space. Seemed to be an appropriate anthem

CB or a Busi sub (probably more CB, unless Busi has a bad tourney, or he may be in the double pivot if Xabi´s out). But you´re right, to call him a defender only, is a bit of a misnomer.

I´d say it´s Juanfran, but you never know.

Between Azpilicueta and Carvajal, I don´t know.

Caravajal because he has more ability going forward. At least the weak link of Arbeloa is finally gone.

You think Iturraspe makes the final squad? I thought he was overshadowed by Martinez in that one season Bielsa took them to the EL final, but Iturraspe was a fine DM to complement Martinez.
