Congrats Italy!

I hope you win on Sunday.

Winning two penalty shootouts in a row is extremely difficult, so I think this will be for Italy. Furthermore, I think we have won the last 2 against Italy (EURO2008 and Confederation Cup 2013), so I am not confident at all.

Anyways, good effort.

Morata on the bench!

We may increase the number of events in swimming if the swimmers dedice to participante in events with OSTs, which is likely.

 vs  again:

2008 (QF):  0 (4)-(2) 0 

2012 (Group):  1-1  

2012 (Final):  4-0  

2016 (R16):  0-2  

Probably we don't deserve it, but unexpectedly we are in SFs 9 years later. 

This might not be the most talented team we have had, but at least they fight and prioritize the team over the individual. Congrats to Switzerland for the game and the tournament they have had!

it's official ?

According to our NOC it is, even though I am not sure if football has increased the quotas from 18 to 22 as they claim. We might also have some last-minute reallocations, especially César Castro in swimming.

Also Bernat Erta (400m, 6th) has some chances to make the mixed relay team.

 TEAM SPAIN 

 

Porteros:

Unai Simón (Athletic de Bilbao)

Álvaro Fernández (SD Huesca)

Alex Domínguez (Las Palmas)

 

Defensas:
Óscar Mingueza (FC Barcelona)

Jesús Vallejo (Granada)

Eric García (FC Barcelona)

Pau Torres (Villareal)

Óscar Gil (RCD Espanyol)

Juan Miranda (Betis)

 

Centrocampistas:

Jon Moncayola (Osasuna)

Martín Zubimendi (Real Sociedad)

Dani Ceballos (Real Madrid) +23

Mikel Merino (Real Sociedad) +23

Carlos Soler (Valencia)

Pedri (FC Barcelona)

Marc Cucurella (Getafe)

 

Delanteros:

Bryan Gil (SD Eibar)

Marco Asensio (Real Madrid) +23

Dani Olmo (Leipzig)

Mikel Oyarzabal (Real Sociedad)

Javi Puado (RCD Espanyol)

Rafa Mir (SD Huesca)

 

These 22 will travel to Tokyo, but 4 of them will be reserves and only play in case of injury of other player.

 

6 of them (Unai Simón, Eric García, Pau Torres, Pedri, Dani Olmo and Mikel Oyarzabal) are playing in the EURO, and 5 more (Mikel Merino, Dani Cebalos, Marco Asensio, Bryan Gil and Marc Cucurella) have already played for the senior team, so it is a very good team.

Apparently Barcelona has asked Pedri to refuse, but he is willing to play in Tokyo anyways. Barcelona isn't happy with that and they are trying to negotiate with the Spanish federation to liberate him. Let's see what happens.

Any relay events?

Yes, both 4x400 M and W.

What a day! Spain vs Croatia was amazing and both teams had chances to win, but we were lucky this time and Morata finally scored a good goal. France vs Switzerland was also very enjoyable, but I wasn't surprised with Mbappe missing the last penalty. I am really excited about the QF game, but some of the players had problems during the game so hopefully they will recover in time.

I think we are lucky in Spain with this, because Spanish teams are forced by law to allow players to play for the national team, even if it isn't mandatory by FIFA. The final list will be published on Tuesday, but we will have a competitive team with several players that are participating in the EURO. Dani Olmo and Mikel Oyarzabal are a lock, while Eric García, Pau Torres, Unai Simón and Pedri still have chances to make it. Marco Asensio and Dani Ceballos from Real Madrid will be 2 of the 3 players over 24.

Fabián Ruiz was going to be the other over-24 player, but Napoli didn't let him play, same case as Ferrán Torres (City), Rodrigo Hernández (City) and Borja Mayoral (Roma).

Congrats. Great match, maybe too much easy than it would deserve at such stage. I am sorry our guys could not deliver their usual play and defence to make the match at least a bit more competitive and entertaining, but it is how it is

Good luck in the rest of the tournament.

I saw your last two games and you had a great defence, so considering that we might have one of the worse attacks of the EURO, before the game I was happy with a draw or winning by one, which was enough for both teams to qualify.

And good luck with the WC Qualifiers. Drawing against Cyprus and Malta was unexpected, but I think you can make it in the 2nd place after Croatia.

Somehow we won 5-0 even having Morata in the team. I was expecting a better defense from Slovakia, but the first goal had to be very painful and they didn't recover after that. Croatia will be a totally different game and I am not confident in our chances, but at least we scored some goals today and that should help the team to recover motivation for the rest of the tournament.

Morata please, stop playing

 Sergio García will not go to Tokyo and he will be replaced by Rafa Cabrera-Bello.

 

At least, Jon Rahm will be there and hopefully getting the first ever Olympic golf medal for Spain.

Rafa Cabrera has been replaced by Adri Arnaus.
