  GK: Iker Casillas
  
  LB: Joan Capdevila
  CB: Carles Puyol
  CB: Carlos Marchena
  RB: Michel Salgado
  
  ML: Vicente
  MC: Ruben Baraja
  MC: Xabi Alonso
  MR: Joaquin
  
  Small Forward: Raul
  Striker: David Villa
  
  This lineup add strength to the midfield area with Alonso protecting the back 4. Allowing the speedy n tricky wingers to roam forward.
  
  David Villa ahead of Torres as he has been scoring goals on a consistent level. Raul may be slow but he's a intelligent player who can play thru balls/one-twos to carve out the defence.

  Though i'm an arsenal fan, i think Fabregas still lacks the experience to play first team for spain. Club and country got difference one.

  Hard to say. With the amount of talent they have with some luck, they can even win the world cup.

  I don't agree that fabregras should be in the team, he's efficient for club but country? Probably the coach would leave him on the subs bench and throw him on half way through the game to add some spark to Spain's game.

  but casillas experience in international matches is an advantage over reina

  Casillas no doubt. He saved Real Madrid week in week out. He deserved to be the first choice keeper.
