Orzelek Posted June 16, 2010 Share Posted June 16, 2010 I think Spain will get a quite easy 2-0 win. But I'd like to see Switzerland make a surprise and get a draw Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazy_T Posted June 16, 2010 Share Posted June 16, 2010 I think fabregas could play in a game like this, with alonso deepest. or drop alonso and play busquets with xavi to accomodate torres. torres still isn't fully fit I don't think, so I think he'll just get time in the second half.

roseboy64 Posted June 16, 2010 Share Posted June 16, 2010 being pedantic - it's busquets, then alonso, then xavi. basically a 4-1-4-1, then the wingers push up, xavi is the most attacking mid. Ah ok. I see now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

dovEs Posted June 16, 2010 Share Posted June 16, 2010 Yeah hopefully this game will be outrageously sexy. And they can bring on any 3 of Pedro/Torres/Mata/Fabregas/Llorente if things aren't going swimmingly. Powerhouse squad, one of the best ever to grace a WC on paper? I would say "Yes".

brett.spurs Posted June 16, 2010 Share Posted June 16, 2010 No, Behrami and Frei are injured and therefore not on the bench. Barry was there just in case. Torres is not injured, he is capable of coming on if Spain want him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barry was there just in case.Torres is not injured, he is capable of coming on if Spain want him. Officially they are still on the bench though in FIFA rules. Behrami and Frei could still officially come on, they just obviously won't because they are injured.

brett.spurs Posted June 16, 2010 Share Posted June 16, 2010 The two reasons why he isn't starting are because he's not fully match fit(hence not injured) and because Spain feel they don't need him at this time.
