I really have no problems with Del Bosque's provisional list except for:
What has Javi Garcia done to deserve a call-up? We already have 3 DMs in Busquets, Alonso, and Martinez. Even though Michu isn't a DM, I still would have included him over Javi Garcia.
Negredo has had his best season as a professional and deserved a call-up over every striker on that list. I think Soldado's late-season surge bumped him off the team. Torres wouldn't have been called up if it was me.
Inigo Martinez is a much better defender than Albiol is.

I'd pick De Gea over Lopez since he needs more time with the NT as the future #1

Oh... I didn't know that. Makes sense now.
Anyways, hoping for the Martinez & Busquets combo.
I'd like to see this:
Villa
Iniesta Fabregas Silva
Martinez Busquets
Alba Pique Ramos ???
Iniesta Fabregas Silva
Martinez Busquets
Alba Pique Ramos ???
Silva or Mata... I'm not really in the know as to who's in better form at the moment.

Old man Bosque loves his Arbeloa on D so he will be back on RB. Also Mata should start instead of Silva who has had an atrocious year for City.

Thanks for the info. Of course, VdB has his own ways. I doubt he'd bench Xavi, or play Fabregas as AM and Villa as CF at the same time, either... This is just how I'd like to see it.

Mata should play, he's by far had the best season out of the whole squad.
My 11 would be this.
Although we know that Fabregas will start, as most likely will Silva!
