Euskal Selekzioa

http://www.eff-fvf.org/pub/noticiaAmpliada.asp?idioma=ca&idnoticia=1421

Euskal Selekzioa is set to face Bolivia on December 29th in El Anoeta. Last year they fell to African side, Tunisia 2-0 en El San Mames.

Nice to see Mexico has some new faces!

Cannot wait for this. I'll be back in town after my academic stint just in time to be a La Anoeta for this. We need to go all out given how less we played this year.

My ideal line-up:

Iraola-San Jose-Ekiza-Aurtunexte

Arteta-Xabi
-Preito-Ander-Munain
Llorente

Bench:De Marcos, Benat, Susaeta, Inigo, Itturaspe, Javi, Agirexte, etc etc too many to list.

Bolivia coming pretty confident too Arq. Pretty disappointed after I witnessed our 2-0 defeat last year.. time to make up for it, and why not with a win over Bolivia.

Bolivia like all resurging South Americans are damn solid I agree. This will be no cakewalk. Tunisia was a bad result to judge as the players we fielded were off position and just fatigued from their season at that time.

How would you line us up?

I would have to wait and see who they call-up.

Llorente's last game in the Green and Red, too bad I couldn't say the same for Javi Martinez

Disappointing call ups. Unhappy not to see Arteta, Muniain, De Marcos, Aurtunexte, Ander Zurutaza and, Iturraspe, Ramalho, Javi Martinez, Azpilicueta and Laporte. Few others I'm missing as well. Overall the bad call-ups have compromised our attack and defence.

Given the context of the squad here is how I would line-up.


Iraizoz
Iraola-Inigo-San Jose-Balenziaga

- Alonso-Benat-
- Susaeta-Prieto-Ibai/Agirrexte
- Aduriz-

Far from how good our line can be but it should be able to what is quite a solid Bolivia.

Aurtunetxe was pulled out due to injury so Labaka was his replacement.. I think other then him, Euskal NT doesn't usually call-up Basque players who play abroad and I think they have a rule that the entire team isn't made up of specifically Bilbao players.

Plus, terrible way to keep Llorente out.. His days are numbered

this was a beat down.. start to finish domination.. Euskal Selekzioa whoops poor Bolivia 6-1.. I could only find the first half highlights:
