The first World Cup Qualifiers kick off this week for La Furia Roja. All things considered, these two games should be an easy 6 points for the European champions, right? Both games at home, Murcia and Albacete, respectively. Not exactly the mighty mights. Bosina-H could be tricky, but our boys should do the business. .. –>more–>
Concerning call ups – no real big changes from the call ups to the Friendly vs Denmark. The only changes are Cesc is back and fit, so De La Red is out. Del Bosque also dropped Amorebieta in defense. He’s injured anyway. With the recent injury to El Niño Torres, Bojan Krkic may get his first actual game with La Furia. Great news! The boy is 100% playing for La Roja. Andoni Iraola from Athletic Bilbao, has been called up again at Right Back, along with Diego Capel, the stellar left winger from Sevilla. Both players showed brilliantly vs Denmark and deserve a call up. No Raul, nuff said!
Did I mention that we thoroughly trashed Denmark? OK, it was only a friendly, but nice to see Xabi Alonso with a brace. He looked like a natural striker, IMO. I like the flexibility that Capel and Iraola brought to the game.
Here is my guess at the starting 11. Don’t beat me up if it changes…..
Goal – Casillas (who else?)
Defense- Ramos – Puyol – Albiol – Capdevila (Marchena is still hurt)
Midfield – Iniesta – Xavi – Senna – Silva (Midfield magic)
Strikers – Guiza and Villa (Should be interesting!)
The path to World Cup glory – vamanos!!!!
