torres looks out of form, fitness and sharpness.

every match Del Bosque hopes torres will be back but he disappoints.

also its another dilemma whom to play instead of torres ??? Llorente, pedro, navas fabregas or silva ??

Again a Barca combo scored the goal. Viva Barcelona!

Ashraful problem! I personally prefer Villa and Pedro combination.

i feel Del Bosque may start TORRES again against germans as torres scored that winning goal against german in the Euro 2008 final.

but i think Navas should start, as he is the player that brings width to the spain team. he is a natural winger what spain lacks.

anyway Del Bosque knows the Best. he is watching the players in training.

From wonderboi711:

"Spain will be glad to see the back of all the tight, defensive teams. Germany won't defend like Portugal and Paraguay!"

From Anon:

"Spain's goal: Fabregas was the only non-Barca player involved in it (Xavi, Ineista, Pedro, Villa). No wonder he feels left out at Arsenal."

Not surprising, there is no other sport/country combination where people of a country are so passionate for a sport inspite of its national team being so poor in it, rankings wise at least
