- Vicente Del Bosque has a settled starting XI, with the only debate over whether to begin the game with a recognised striker in Fernando Torres or a fluid front three, with Fabregas leading the line.
- The former is perhaps the favoured option, though Llorente and Negredo are also waiting in the wings should he slip up.
- Jesus Navas may have played himself into contention with a winning goal from the bench against Croatia, though any changes outside of the central striker role seem very unlikely, with a fully fit squad to choose from.
- The only absentee for France is set to be Philippe Mexes, whose second yellow card of the tournament against Sweden sees him suspended for this game.
- With no other real alternatives, Arsenal's Laurent Koscielny will therefore have the chance to prove that he is worthy of a place in the XI should Blanc's side progress.
- Hatem Ben Arfa didn't really take his chance to impress last time out, so either Malouda or Menez could return, though Blanc could also go like-for-like against the Spaniard's with a defensive trio in midfield and three up front.
Silva Apps 3 are wrong, correct: 4 !
Dispossessed 10 times, 8 turnovers, 1 successful cross out of 7 - Ribery's had a mare! France's '4-3-2-1' formation is very debatable though!
WOW! Franck Ribery is just 5.7? ? Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo! !
GREAT SPAIN!!!
Zlakto, wrong pass, fouls, no shoot, no aerial duels won. Everything counts.
lol why does Ribery has such a shitty rating?
"why fabregas for silva?" my comment was right and the 6 people who click dislike dont know spains team :-)
Right in the middle of the game, Alba has two assists while the game is 1-o for Spain. :p
For France it semmes it'll be LLoris - Clichy, Koscielny, Rami, Reveillere - M'Vila - Cabaye, Malouda - Ribéry, Debuchy - Benzema in a 4-3-3
2:1 after extra time France!
1:1
Probable Line-ups Spain: Casillas, Arbeloa, Pique, Ramos, Alba, Xabi Alonso, Busquets, Xavi, Silva, Iniesta, Torres France: Lloris, Debuchy, Rami, Koscielny, Evra, Diarra, M’Vila, Cabaye, Nasri, Ribery, Benzema Vamos Espana !!!
