they've quite a good team but will they be a cohesive unit?

It's still a decent squad but I can't see them getting to the final. Costa will probably get first dibs as striker. Cazorla I hope is fit as I think he'll be their best MF imo. Then there's Silva and Koke as well.
 
We only need 4 points to progress, so a draw against Russia and a win against Slovakia would be enough to go through.......

What if Wales and Russia have already beaten Slovakia by more goals than we could hope to score? Like 3-0 or something?
 
Sakho has been left out of France squad. Guy must be furious with UEFA, didn't get to play in final and been dropped from euro squad that he'd be a cert to be included in.

Only got himself to blame. Shouldn't be taking supplements outside of the club and if you wanted to, you should run it by the nutritionist, doctors etc at the club. Banned substance or not as is the issue now, he shouldn't have done it in the first place.

well said
 
I don't think Costa is going? Not sure where I heard he was not.
Costa, Mata and Saul all left out of the Spain squad, but there was room for Vazquez who hasn't gained a single cap yet.

Also they're going to be well and truly ****ed if they lose Ramos or Pique as their backup options are crap.

I think Juanfran will be the starting RB. Azpilicueta will only be going as a back up LB as they also have Dani Carvajal in the squad (Bellerin didn't make it).

I really hope Aduriz starts as a striker for them because he has been on fire this season and it would be pretty great to see someone break into the national team at such a late stage in their career and make a big impact.

Bellerin in got called up in place of Carvajal due to injury.

Bartra is handy enough.

Pity Javi Martinez is superglued together.

---------------------De Gea
Bellerin------Pique------Ramos-----Alba
------------Busquets---Thiago
-------Silva------Fabregas----Iniesta
------------------Morata

Is still pretty damn strong.

Leaving Barca this year as well, available for £12m I think it was.. Always tricky buying Baca defenders as you don't get to see them defend an awful lot.
