The new euro song coming out tomorrow... here is a teaser. La Roja: one colour, one dream... And one song! Stay tuned! More on this tomorrow! #LaRojaBaila #EURO2016 pic.twitter.com/0KGJGmWo0Q— Sergio Ramos (@SergioRamos) June 9, 2016 Based on his expression, Pique would rather be in Aleppo than playing for Spain.
The new video that came out today, Piques "face" does not appear in it! I am guessing there was a big backlash.
http://www.eldiario.es/politica/Gea-Muniain-pornografo-Torbe_0_524948592.html The witness said there was a third U23 Spanish player involved but couldn't identify him for sure, people are speculating that it was Isco (although it was overheard that the other player was a Bilbao player so who knows who it was)
Their relationship with the porn producer "Allende" who according to as was "human trafficking with the aim of sexual exploitation, sexual assault, sexual abuse of minors, the production and distribution of pornographic material featuring under-age girls, extortion, money laundering and tax offences. Yeah, same girl. That is not looking good for them.
Starting lineup v Czech Republic has yet to be officially revealed but during Friday's training these players wore bibs and it's being speculated that they will be the outfield players lining up on Monday: Juanfran, Pique, Ramos, Alba, Busquets, Iniesta, Cesc, Silva, Morata, Nolito. Goalkeeper is still in doubt, perhaps due to the alleged scandal which De Gea has said during a press briefing is "a lie and utterly false."
KO stage as it stands as of tonight! Obviously VDB prefers the more difficult path based on the teams strategy and play against Croatia! As someone else said earlier in the thread you're either in it to win it all or go home early, I guess we'll see in 6 days!
