Spain v Italy match thread

[Phoenix07]

Weird Spain line up, who is playing upfront?

Silva or Fabregas. Both played there before (country and club respectively).

[-V-]

433 with Iniesta Fabregas and Silva up top

[lickedlollipop]

I'd start Carroll should start over Welbeck for England.

Can tell already they are going to be ****ing dull to watch tomorrow, Downing probably starting too.

Casillas

me thinks Fabregas will be on that position ...

Silva or Fabregas. Both played there before (country and club respectively).

I assumed so, but neither Fabregas nor Silva is really a striker.

They was just talking about it on the tele .

Couldn't be arsed to change threads.

Hodgson's jump

Rooney and Welbeck laughing at him said it all. He's a repulsive man.

true, but i think Fabregas is more suited to that role. nevertheless, strange line-up..

the spain line up looks a little strange on paper [alonso on LW and cesc up front] but there will be so much movement and players drifting around as so many of them are not only comfortable on the ball but are intelligent enough to play a more free flowing set up.

agree that it will be interesting to see if balotelli will finish the game. he is sure to be a target for the italians to see if they can make him twitch.

#ESP decision to go with Cesc as "false 9" is interesting. As will Torres reaction. Needs to handle disappointment better than he has lately

[Muddled]

Name me a more crazy mental front pairing than Italy!

And 90 minutes worth of tripe coming out of Jon Champion's mouth coming up. Yay.

Well to be fair, he should handle it better as he should be used to it by now when the team sheet is pinned up at the bridge...

[Exiled_red]

Silva should have done better with that chance

[spud_gun]

You may but he's prob on close to 6 figures a year for providing such insight into the game

Shaggy, did you make that line up up?
