They have already confirmed that Juancho won't be in Tokyo. The recovery time is at least 1 month.

Let's see how they recover physically, especially Pedri who has played all the games in the EURO and the whole season with his club. I agree that it might be a problem if they are not at the same level that these days, but even without the 6 players, I think it's possible to make a competitive team. For example, Marco Asensio, Dani Ceballos or Bryan Gil have already played for the senior team, but this season they haven't played much due to different reasons, so this is a very good opportunity for these 3 guys to show how good they are and convince Luis Enrique to make the senior list in September. And I would also add to this list the name of Rafa Mir, he's quite unknown, even in Spain, since he plays for Huesca, but in my opinion he can be part of the senior team this season considering the low level of Spanish forwards. He plays different compared to Dani Olmo or Mikel Oyarzábal, which is always nice to introduce some tactical variations during the game. Anyways, I don't like the draw at all. Facing Germany or Brazil (if we get through the group stage) in QF is not going to be easy. Good luck!

1. Who were the most unexpected Qualifiers(Team/Individual) from your nation? Francisco Gaviño (equestrian - eventing), Alberto Ginés (climbing) and the WAG team. 2.Which athletes/teams ' not qualifying from your nation hurt you the most? I had high hopes to qualify on women football for the first time ever. Furthermore, we were very close in basketball 3x3 W, which would have been nice additions to the team. In individual sports I would say the archery team with Alvariño and Acha, Sara Álvarez in judo (she had a knee injury when she was fighting for the continental quota) and Yulen Pereira in fencing.

5 of the 11 players who started yesterday against Italy will be going to the Olympics, so I will be highly diassapointed if we don't manage to get a medal in Tokyo. We failed miserably in London 2012 and our last medal dates back to Sidney 2000, so it's time to bring the fourth football medal to the country (gold in 1992 and silver in 1920 and 2000). ¡Vamos España!

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!

For Spain I think it will be around 20.

is the European country with the most teams qualified! That's a huge success for us.

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!

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.

For only two: Athletics - María Vicente (Triple jump in YOG and heptathlon in Tokyo) - Silver Gymnastics - Alba Petisco - 11th (it hasn't been confirmed yet) Also Bernat Erta (400m, 6th) has some chances to make the mixed relay 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.

True! I just edited the post.

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.

No mixed relay. Spain already qualified in that event. Streaming: Results: http://www.resultadosrfea.es/Resultados1/index.html

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).

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
