SPAIN LINE UP FOR WORLD CUP 2010 | WILL OR WILL NOT ANDRES INIESTA PLAY IN THE GROUP H STARTER?

The SPANISH NATIONAL FOOTBALL TEAM travels to the city of Durban to face its opening Group H WORLD CUP 2010 game against Switzerland this Wednesday at 16.00 (S.A time). The big unknown is if midfielder ANDRES INIESTA will make the final list of SPAIN PLAYERS to start in the already mentioned match. The player himself said to Spanish TV that he is fine & ready to play, however National Coach Vicente Del Bosque has him under wraps & in the training practice game had Iniesta in the substitute team.

Many media observers have three theories:

1. The National Coach Del Bosque is hiding his playing cards & is bluffing. I think this is very unlikely from Del Bosque’s part - although never to be discarded.
2. That National Coach Del Bosque does not wish to risk the player so early from his recovery & suffer the possibility of having Iniesta fall again into a worst injury. This is more likely.
3. Following point 2. that Valencia CF player JUAN MATA will be the person who will fill in the place of Andres Iniesta against Switzerland. This idea comes from the training sessions that Coach Del Bosque has put together & the composition of players in the training games that placed Juan Mata in the theorical starting line-up.

Said all this, no one knows for certain what will be the the final SPAIN TEAM LINEUP for Switzerland until the actual kick-off.

Here is the SPAIN WORLD CUP STARTING 11 according to Spanish media observers after watching the last training sessions. As mentioned this is totally HYPOTHETICAL & thus should be taken as such at this moment:

Casillas, Ramos, Piqué, Puyol, Capdevila, Xavi, Busquets, Xabi Alonso, Silva, Villa & Mata ( Iniesta???) Tweet
