4 reds on the team,congratulations Alvaro!

it was only a matter of time.....congrats to him

At last he gets some recognition. Hope he gets a start in their next match and plays well.

Congratsulations Arby, at least your national manager can recognise good talent! Unlike McClown who was for England

Absolutely great news for Alvaro - chuffed for the lad.

Oh Arbeloa, la, la, la, la, la
You're to good to be true!

On a personal level I'm happy for him, but purely from a Liverpool point of view it was better for us when he got to rest during international breaks. Best of luck to him anyway, I'm sure he'll do great if given the chance.

Eddie, our national coach is completely crackers...

Raul playing the footy of his life, not a chance of getting in the squad....

...and Alvaro is actually injured at the minute...

but hey... you've got to be happy for the lad.

Is it still Aragones in charge?

Is it still Aragones in charge?

yes,he is very controversial

Is it still Aragones in charge?

Yep, but he will go (retire) post Euros.

One of the names in the frame to take over (since Hicks episode) our one and very own Rafa the Gaffer.

Spanish national squad technical director (who the manager/Aragones works for) is Fernando Hierro who Rafa will have known very well from their days together within the Bernabeu set-up...

Let's hope it never happens eh...

yes,he is very controversial

Oh dear. Hated him ever since his rant about henry, So disrespectful.

on the topic of arbeloa i almost knocked him over the other day ha ha, i was walking past the hbc bank on dale street and he pulled up in his car on the side of the road, got out and i wasnt looking and last minute i moved out his way. Lucky i didn't injur him further aye ha ha

Well deserved, just hope he gets on the field at some point

alvarito will not go with spain,he is injured.He will go the next chance

Well done to AA for making the Spanish Squad, you'll have a new bunch of players to jump onto now

a much deserved placement I think well done AA

Congratulations AA!
He has truly deserved his place on the team, even though he is injured.

Great to have four Liverpool lads in the squad, and an ex-red in there too.

No more than Alvo deserves, great to see any of our players getting into their national side. Shame Reina gets looked over really.

Well done Arbeloa. Fully deserved but as Edu pointed out, he's still injured isn't he.

I always worry when any player of ours is selected for national duty though...

As alvaro gets called up Kuyt is dropped from his national squad.

that's a classic MsG and spot on too.

Its not our luis garcia that went to athletico its espanyols one.

Surprised?


Great effort for a long time and finally gets his chance, injured! Far out. I guess this says alot though, he gets into the Spanish side even when injured eh? Wonder how a fit Alvaro got over looked.

Well done man! I'm looking forward to watching a few Spain matches.

Alvaro, congrats mate....let's hope you're fit enough to get a run.

On a side note I was watching Eurosportnews yesterday and they had a caption down the bottom that said 5 LFC players are in the Spanish National squad.

Now I can think of Pepe, Arbeloa, Xabi and Torres but I can't think of the 5th. It's doing my head in. can anyone help or was it a typo?

Cheers Don, thought so mate...thought I was going bonkers there for a second. cheers

Glad for him. He was noticed by Spanish coach in Liverpool. Congratulations, Alvaro! It will be his debut for Spain. Who are they playing in Wednesday against?

Four Liverpool Spanish are in the Spain squad and only two Liverpool English  - in England team...

And former Liverpool player Luis Garcia isn't in Spain team, is he? Why?

No he isn't in there I'm not sure why im not too sure how he's getting on at athletico.

Plays very little first team football... having said that King Luis scored a screamer on Sunday versus Murcia... must of had a decent glass of Sangria earlier in the day.

not good to hear he isnt getting played that much. Still wish he was at liverpool.

The english game (Prem) was a bit too physical for our Luis... more suited to CL european football, where the refs protected him a tad more...

Still pulled off things no one in our team even tries now. Most creative player we had in a while and he lost possesion alot because he had the balls to try new things, Went wrong alot unfortunately but when it went right boy did it go right.

When it went wrong he fustrated the sh*te out of me... and probably Rafa too I imagine.

But when it went right - all I wanted to do was drink sangria!

Yeah it was frustrating for everyone but things he did right made up for it if you ask me.

Creativity is what we lack most, no one in our team maybe bar a few players is willing to take a risk and try something spectacular often for fear of losing possesion once.

Anyway back to topic. I think arbeloa is meant to be back around the 15th of feb.

Gerrard has just been announced england captain as well

Great, hope he performs well and impresses capello, would be great for his confidence.

Is it true that debut of Arbeloa in Spanish squad is delayed, because of injury of skew muscle of abdomen?

Sadly yes Alessio. His injury hasnt been able to heal in time thus missing the match.
