national coach, Vicente del Bosque, yesterday announced the list of 30 shortlisted to join the national team to try the assault on the world championship next June in South Africa. A list without undue surprises (Riera and Pablo Hernández is not the lack of minutes for their clubs) which will be reduced to 23 men before 1 June. The shortlisted are:

GOALKEEPERS

Iker Casillas (Real Madrid): 102 caps. English captain and undisputed starter in goal, both his club and in the selection. This year is being discussed, perhaps by the fact that, despite receiving fewer goals, also has been reduced the number of procedures performed per game (in this paragraph, this year is the 13 th of the League, where in recent years always was one of the top three positions). The fans dreams of seeing Iker lifting the championship trophy on 11 July.

Pepe Reina (Liverpool): 19 caps. 4 times winner of the Barclays Golden Glove (Zamora Trophy in England) and substitute luxury boxes in the selection. In the area noted for his mastery of aerial and connection with your partner Torres to launch deadly counterattacks. Outside it, is considered one of the heavyweights in the dressing room of La Roja. Only the presence of Casillas him from ownership.

Diego Lopez (Villarreal): 1 x international. Takes two years to attend any meetings of the Forest as the third goalkeeper, so it is best placed to accompany Casillas and Reina in the final list. This year has not featured as much as the past, but has gone from less to more (like your computer). Formed through the ranks at Madrid under the shadow of Casillas, has some unusual reflections for a man of his height.

Victor Valdes (FC Barcelona): Surprisingly, the best team goalkeeper in the world, twice winner of the Champions League, has not even debuted yet the selection. There are many reasons to argue its detractors: his character, his confidence in the game with his feet, a bad relationship with Queen ... Its proponents take refuge in their numbers and the obvious improvement that Victor has starred in recent years. It would be an injustice to stay without World Cup, but football sometimes do not understand justice.

David de Gea (Atletico Madrid): The future of the national goal. In a campaign so complicated for his club, has emerged as one of the saviors of the mattress set. Sitting on the bench to another promise as Sergio Asenjo and be in the shortlist and is a tribute to his season. Compared with the Dutch Van der Sar for his height, his good reflexes and mastery of the game with his feet. It seems clear one of the discards.

DEFENSES

Sergio Ramos (Real Madrid): 57 caps. The Camas has returned this year to its best version, especially when he played center. Comes in full how the World Cup. Del Bosque has two options to rank, on the right wing or as a side of Pique in central defense. As a side, sometimes you lose your momentum and yellow charge unnecessarily. In the center of the rear is more serene.

Gerard Piqué (FC Barcelona): 14 caps. After a hesitant start to the season, has become one of the best center (if not the best) of today. His last exhibition was given in the second leg Champions League semi-final against Inter, with the best of his team. Is strong, is strong, it dominates the air in both areas, has a neat ball and output quality is not free. Should be the leader of the rear, both at the club as the selection, during the next decade.

Carles Puyol (FC Barcelona): 81 caps. The claw made football player. Again from the ashes in 2008, when it seemed to have entered a clear line of descent. Pique has found his perfect complement. Still giving exhibitions of strength and pride, for example in the game against Real Madrid match at the Nou Camp where he was responsible for drying the entire Madrid attack. Maybe this is his last tournament selection.

Joan Capdevila (Villarreal): 42 caps. Owner of the left side of the selection. Many believe it is the team's weakest position, but Capdevila has always offered a good performance. Noted for its invaluable work and for your chance to score. Like Puyol, may also be his last major tournament before the shirt of Spain.

Álvaro Arbeloa (Real Madrid): 13 caps. The joker in the defense, both in Madrid and in the selection. He can play both sides and even central. In principle part as a substitute, but his great season in the white set can give you an option to ownership, especially on the left flank. Stands out as a lock back, but this year has shown that it is developed very well in offensive tasks.

Albiol Raul (Real Madrid): 22 caps. The future theoretical Piqué companion in the center of defense. This year has featured in Madrid, common plant eater, but in recent games he is looking at something short of steam. Noted for its ability to advance to the front and not complicate your life more than necessary. The versatility of Ramos and Arbeloa can take a toll when entering the starting lineup.

Carlos Marchena (Valencia): 56 caps. One of the pillars of the locker room. Still living on the income left his magnificent performance in the Euro, since its own merits and should have left his post in the national team. In the selection noted for playing with a calm that on many occasions, has failed in his club. In theory, it is another player that will end in South Africa as it passes through the selection.

César Azpilicueta (Osasuna): The surprise on the defensive line coach. We all expected to Iraola or Monroe, but not Azpilicueta. The last two seasons of the Pamplona side have not gone unnoticed nor to Del Bosque, or for the big European clubs (we talk that Manchester City has already hired). It is a tirelessly side, always present in defense and attack, not without a good quality, mid-distance shot. However, another candidate seems clear to be discarded.

Midfielders

Xavi Hernandez (FC Barcelona): 84 caps. The brain of the selection and leader of it for the last two years. UEFA awarded him the best player of the last Euro to represent perfectly the virtues of the team. Is in a state of grace and should be the driver to take us to the championship. Since Luis Aragones ahead of him a few meters, has become a todocampista able to defend, organize, make the final pass and even score. Spain options go through your legs and especially his mind.

Xabi Alonso (Real Madrid): 66 caps. Tolosa midfielder has returned this year to our league and has become the indisputable conductor of Real Madrid. With Del Bosque seems to have earned a spot in the starting lineup, although the amount and quality players in midfield put the poster did not allow a permanent fixture of practically anyone. Its best feature is the long pass, which may be necessary to break the opponents defense systems, focusing on the game of touch handcuff selection. Furthermore, Spain is common to see him reach top positions.

Andrés Iniesta (FC Barcelona): 40 caps. One of the headaches Vicente. There has been continued this year because of injuries. It is essential for the team, as was demonstrated during his absence at the last Confederations Cup. Brings to the team the imbalance needed to break the defenses. Hopefully I can get in a position to South Africa.

David Silva (Valencia): 33 caps. A gem that has yet to explode worldwide. South Africa has the ideal setting to do so. The game selection is going wonderfully well and the fact of being surrounded by so many figures can give you the freedom to do even more damage. Worthy successor to Juan Carlos Valeron, tons of quality concentrates its limited 170 cm.

Cesc Fabregas (Arsenal): 48 caps. Another player to reach the finals in cotton. He was doing his best season at Arsenal until he injured a month and a half. He went to England as a child and there he learned to adapt his skill as an organizer and become a todocampista. It covers many meters of the field and is present in both defense and attack. In the Championship was the twelfth player Luis and, if lesions are allowed to, it appears that is destined to repeat that role in the World Cup.

Sergio Busquets (FC Barcelona): 11 caps. The big bet Vicente del Bosque in the midfield. Salamanca coach went for it, even where it was not a permanent fixture in his club. Now, Yaya Toure has sat and not unreasonable even holds in the World Cup. The coach is very confident about their chances. Noted for its placement, good ball and ability to force mistakes. Teatrero fame might harm, so you must tread carefully in the future.

Marcos Senna (Villarreal): 28 caps. Key in the victory during the Euro has lost weight in the era Del Bosque. It even seemed that he could lose World Cup, but the second half of the year has been very good and has entered on the list. In principle, its role in the World Cup will be different from a couple of years and partly as a deputy to cover absences from class if necessary. Whatever happens, Senna is a safe in case the coach has to use.

Juan Mata (Valencia): 7 caps. Another of the lads who had joined the group in recent years eurocampeones. The Spaniard is a dagger in the band and has a goal. It is also understood to sew with peers Silva and Villa, so its presence in South Africa seems to be assured. Will be a revolting case is complicated a game.

Jesus Navas (Sevilla): 3 caps. The Seville has managed to overcome their personal problems and is perfectly integrated in the environment of selection. Adaptation to spend long periods away from home is the only question that arouses his call for the World Cup because soccer is on merit. In a game of touch as the selection, Navas puts the sparkle and the overwhelming need to open up defenses.

Pedro Rodriguez (FC Barcelona): it is Don Pedro Pedrito. Appears to play a position in the list Navas, although it would be unfair for either keeping them away. Has done a year impressive, being a key player in Barca's title. It is also a fetish, and who has scored in all six competitions he has played this year with his club. He's smart and intuitive and has an amazing facility in the definition of the plays. Are you worth to be called or have to wait?

Santi Cazorla (Villarreal): 24 caps. He was a fixture in the Championship and remained so for the first year of Del Bosque. However, this season lost his place by the influx of young people and, above all, by an injury that set him apart from the pitch for three months. He has returned for the final leg of League and, curiously, his return and have improved Senna winning streak coincided with Villarreal. Anyway, it is difficult to repeat call a great appointment.

Javi Martínez (Athletic): As with De Gea or Azpilicueta, Harvey's presence at the screening is a reward for his excellent season and a warning to fans that these guys are over. The Navarre imposes its 1.90 in midfield, has strength, quality and a deadly shot. The major will soon be fighting over him.

FRONT

David Villa (Valencia) 55 caps. The Guaje wants to become the leading scorer in the history of selection and it is headed. Sum 36 goals and is just eight of Raul, so the record is a matter of time. He was top scorer at Euro, but has a thorn stuck and could not play the final because of his injury in the semis. Go to the World Cup with a ravenous hunger.

Fernando Torres (Liverpool): 72 caps. Another who has spent the year in cotton and just go a World Cup. The debate around it was closed at the same time that had lunch with Lahm and scored the winning goal in the last European Championship. This year, despite injuries, his numbers are spectacular (18 goals in 22 games). Although the game selection is not the best for its features (speed and power), Torres has been able to adapt and give the team better.

Dani Guiza (Fenerbahce): 21 caps. One of the most passionate debates around open Güiza. Their numbers in Turkey two years have been mixed, but the selection is always answered. It seems that Del Bosque will remain in the list, though he was about to leave the team for indiscipline. Possibly more opportunistic striker you have the selection, ball playing, safety hazard.

Fernando Llorente (Athletic): 5 caps. The lion plays with Negredo a position in the list, but inclusion in the group of Jesus Navas and Peter temporadón would leave no room for both. Llorente's presence seems necessary if you need a tank to hang balloons at the last minute, although Athletic striker is much more than that. Has sufficient quality to earn a spot in the selection, although it may be later.

Álvaro Negredo (Sevilla): 4 caps. Real Madrid went to fight for a spot on the list, but his season at Sevilla has not been brilliant, it seems that in the end achieved its purpose. A whirlwind of force that must contribute to the team airpower. Should be called, will be the front room, so its presence in South Africa will, in principle, testimonial.
