Nice post Tietäyä :-)

Concerning Spain comments: I very much doubt they will start with Fabregas in the starting 11. That is if they'll play with Torres.

With Torres, he and Villa will be the strikers and Iniesta, Silva, Xavi and Xabi Alonso will be the midfield, Fabregas will start on the bench.

Incase Torres isn't fit enough, Silva moves up a row and becomes 2nd strikes and Fabregas starts on the field.

Casillas is by far the better keeper compared with Valdez, even if he's playing a lesser season this year. He proved that during difficult games, at Real, that he can keep his team alive.

You say Spain is an excellent team, yet you don't think they'll reach the semi's?
