Llorente should start for Spain, here he scores a cracker against United
I am back! I am back! Yes I know what is new? I go missing but I am back. World Cup qualifying, mouth watering friendlies and of course Euro Championship. To date Poland V Greece 1-1, Russia V Czech 4-1, Spain V Italy 1-1, Germany V Portugal 1-0, Ireland V Croatia 1-3, Denmark V Holland 1-0. What about those super friendlies involving Brazil and that match against Argentina with Messi scoring a hatrick, when did a player last score a hatrick against Brazil? Was there ever one in the first place?
Let us not forget that Brazil fielded a reserve team and Argentina were full strength, Brazil are preparing for the Olympics, which only can field under-23 players and only three over aged players, Argentina strangely after winning two football gold medals did not even qualify for this.
Spain drew with Italy and I think Del Bosque got this wrong by fielding all midfielders, there was too much tiki-taka in the box and around it. Fabregas did put one away, but Torres should have been in the field earlier although Fernando Llorente would have been a better choice. The Bilbao striker (if you guys watched the UEFA Europa League last season) was a nightmare for Manchester United and got the Red Devils knocked out with their brilliant play.He is the only player to win all aerial duels in 2011 in La liga, he is not just good in aerial duels but he is technically gifted (Andy Carroll take note), speaking of which, England play France today and I must say after praising Hodgson's appointment I feel he has lost confidence of the public. When Cahill had to be dropped because of injury, he did not go for Ferdinand and okay we can give him the benefit of the doubt here because of the John Terry issue, but why didn't he pick Micah Richards? I am going for a France victory here and Sweden V Ukraine, a draw.
