    I hear Torres will be punished for his lousy play of late (like last 2 years) and will be forced to play the entire 90 minutes! As for Arbeloa he will be forced to practice his diving techniques on the sidelines for the first half as a warm up before playing the second half and rumor has it will be given the game ball if he does dive in the box and the ref awards the PK!

    Everybody dives.. this is sadly now a part of the game and if your opponent is going to dive, you should level the game by diving too.

    Till Fifa enforces it via video technology + severe consequences, everyone will keep diving.
    Chileans (like everyone else) are big divers and I am always amused how the other team plays the victim when the diving goes the other way.

    I can not think of a single country/club that doesn't dive and we can thank fifa for it.

    Well it's not just that Arbeloa dived, it's just that he's an awful football player in general.

    If there are two things we learned from yesterday it's that both Arbeloa and Albiol are not international caliber players. I'd say we already knew that but yesterday's performance reinforced it.

    Yes that is correct with Scotland and Czech Republic playing to a 2-2 tie the classification looks like this heading into this weeks match:

    Spain 5, 5-0-0=15 +10
    Czech Rep. 6, 3-1-2=10 +3
    Scotland 5, 1-2-2=5 -1
    Lithuania 6, 1-2-3=5 -5
    Liechtenstein 5, 1-1-4=4 -7

    Supposedly another 4-3-3 with the following starters:

    Casillas

    Ramos--Busquets--Albiol--Arbeloa

    Xavi--X. Alonso--Fabregas

    Iniesta--Llorente--Villa

    With this being an official match Del Bosque can only suit up 17 players for tonights match. It should be interesting the other 6 players will be sitting on the bench at the start.

    Yay, Negredo! Its about time we give this man another chance.
    Negredo > Torres.
    Llorente should come in for Negredo if we need height.

    Marca has Silva in place of Iniesta.

    Edit: Marca freaking useless. Iniesta is starting after all.

    The backline makes me cringe. Luckily it's only Liechtenstein.
