1. Nah, he got left out, and was reportedly upset about it. But he'll probably get picked for the next squad, and it'll be all good.
2. Spain is deep everywhere except along the back-line. They don't play different positions for Spain. Mata, Cazorla, and Silva are the same sort of player. They are all nominally positioned on the wing, but have the impetus to drift and play between the lines. It may seem like the former two play deeper, but they just know when/how to rotate positionally when Iniesta/Xavi move into space, and are better defensively so either one can be used in midfield when Xavi/Iniesta are rested. So he was left out this go round because he isn't as good/developed as Cazorla and Silva, and he doesn't provide the goal threat Pedro does. Del Bosque wanted the option of some real width so he picked Navas for the last spot.

At least the security was helping himGame in Mexico; Leon v Tigres - security start to beat tigres followers and literally hit them around including children and women. Captured on tv, watched by all of Mexico and still nothing has been done. Leon is the worst place to go to play in Mexico because the fans are to crazy. Monterrey, tigres, and santos are dangerous because of the narc activity in there areas. Last year in Torreón, Coahuila (santos home town) shots were fired outside of Estadio Corona between masked men in trucks and the police. The whole fans ran into the stadium, teams ran inside or hid alongside the bench with fans as well. Game was postponed. In Monterrey a hotel was bombed on purposes, cartels closed every possible exits before blowing up the place. Around 200 people died that day
the violence these days

Bale out due to imminent birth of his child. Friedel back in goal.
Mikel/Ramires is midfield for Chelsea. Lampard on bench. (Ironic?)

wtf? Kyle Walker is a completely different player from last year.
Our defence obviously cost us.. Hopefully this game makes AVB realise we need to drop Walker, Gallas, and Friedel.

After today's match there shouldn't even be an argument anymore.
He's clearly better than Cazorla and arguably the best player in the EPL right now.
