Some would say Vincente del Bosque has confidence in his approach, while others would say he’s being stubborn. Both groups would exhibit little surprise in the Spain coach’s starting eleven, which includes Fernando Torres and the two deep-sitting midfielders he’s used all tournament.

Notes
With del Bosque intent on staying with this formation, the pressure will continue to grow on Fernando Torres to regain his form. After the team got a boost from Fernando Llorente last match, there had been minor speculation that Torres would be moved to the bench, with most thinking del Bosque will stick to his guns. The coach has remained loyal to El Niño. Those looking for Llorente to get more time can now fix their attention on Torres’s performance.
