As holders Spain prepare to get the defence of their European crown underway, Guillem Balague answers your questions on key talking points surrounding Vicente del Bosques squad. Euro 2016 is well and truly up and running with matches coming thick and fast. Spain kick off their bid for a record third consecutive victory in the competition when they play the Czech Republic in Toulouse on Monday.Vicente del Bosques men will be looking to atone for their shock defeat to Georgia in their final pre-tournament warm-up by claiming three points, a feat England failed to achieve as they were held to a last-gasp 1-1 draw with Russia on Saturday. Ahead of Spains tournament bow, Sky Sports Spanish football expert answers your questions on La Roja and offers his thoughts on Roy Hodgsons Three Lions... Ramos offers De Gea support Sergio Ramos says Spain support David de Gea following allegations Do you think the Georgia game might just do what the Switzerland game did in 2010 and focus the team? (@spandiddy)Georgia exposed a lack of pace in Spains build-up play and exposed the difficulties were going to have in trying to beat team that defend very deep. It also exposed our inability to respond in games.The only good thing about the game was that it pointed those weaknesses out. It also reiterated the importance of width provided by the full-backs, the importance of moving the ball quickly and the importance of being efficient, because we wont create many chances - it is difficult when there is no space. Georgia players celebrate their 1-0 victory over Spain The Georgia game reinforced and exposed the problems Spain have had, I just dont think we have all the solutions at hand. This is partly because we are trying to do things in the same way that weve done them. Even though we have different players I dont see any great difference and I think people have found Spain out.As the Czech Republic game edges closer, I am getting more optimistic, but I fear Spain my struggle in what is a difficult group containing Croatia and Turkey, or to go far in the tournament.Your Spain starting line-up? (@Chris_Mbola) Balagues Spain starting XI (4-1-4-1) De Gea Juanfran Ramos Pique Alba Busquets Silva Fabregas Iniesta Nolito Morata On David de Gea, I think hell play, he has been backed up by the players. Friday was difficult for him but he spoke to his family and to Del Bosque and played likes Azpilicueta, Koke, Pique and Alba have been very close to him in rotation, almost trying to make sure that he not on his own.He feels very calm, though, and he is training well, that is what Del Bosque is seeing. I get the impression that De Gea will start on Monday.Not picking Fernando Torres and taking Lucas Vazquez - was it a good decision? (@PrinterKevin)Absolutely. Fernando Torres has not been with Spain for two years, he had a decent end to the season with Atletico Madrid but he didnt do enough to deserve a place in the final 23-man squad.Lucas Vasquez offers something different every time he comes on for Real Madrid. He makes a difference in the way he attacks and defends so I think we will see a lot of Vasquez coming on in the second halves of games, especially the difficult ones. I fancy him to impress at these Championships. Juan Mata and Fernando Torres were left out of Del Bosques final 23-man squad What is your opinion on Juan Mata not being selected? (@Jord95Gaming)The problem with Mata is that hes not a forward, hes more like a number 10 and there are a lot of players in that position - Koke, Iniesta, Fabregas and Silva. All of those players play in Matas position so taking him would be merely replicate what they already had.Is this VdBs last tournament as manager? If so, who will replace him when he goes? (@Gurpal_1)We all suspect that this will be Del Bosques final tournament so Spain will be looking for a new coach soon. That will be difficult because nobody that I can think of has the unanimous support to succeed the man who has delivered so much success. Its too early for Rafa Benitez, the same goes for Paco Jemez but for different reasons, he still has to mature as a coach. Could this be Vicente del Bosques final tournament in charge of Spain? People have suggested Joaquin Caparros but he could be signing for Oviedo, which would put him out of the equation. Whoever the Spanish Football Federation opt for it wont be an easy decision, thats for sure. There are also some young coaches that would no doubt leave their current jobs to take charge of Spain but we will have to see.Are you a fan of Wayne Rooney playing in midfield? He didnt do badly in the first half, he added continuity and directness. The problem for Rooney, and with all midfielders, is that in order to stop attacks in that position, you have to work harder defensively.Rooney was useful, he is mature in a young team and yes, Id give him the opportunity to play there again. The one caveat would be that he and Hodgson have to recognise that he may only be able to reach the necessary level for 45 or 50 minutes, with Jack Wilshere then replacing him. Wayne rooney impressed in midfield as England drew their Euro 2016 opener I had no problem with Wilshere coming on, but bringing James Milner on alongside him sent the wrong message to the team. Hodgson wanted to control midfield and nullify the Russian threat by keeping the ball. That, however, is not what England are about.I would have brought Marcus Rashford, or someone who could bring the ball forward, on and continue attacking a Russia side that were there for the taking.The process of building a team has not been followed with England and I always feel that when difficult situations arise the coach will revert to type. Hodgson is a conservative coach so instead of looking for a second goal he invited Russia to attack England. Rooneys Russia stats The numbers behind England captain Wayne Rooneys impressive midfield display against Russia. Having said that, I would be very optimistic seeing this England, it was enjoyable to watch and, of course, they deserved much more. There are so many positives to take from that game. I understand that after so many disappointments some people have taken a negative spin but, if I were an England fan, I would be very happy with what I saw.How did you rate Englands performance against Russia?England were fresh, youthful, dynamic and quick in the ways they attacked, they very dangerous down the wings in particular. Harry Kane was disappointing but Dele Alli had a very good game in the first half again, Eric Dier was good too.Perhaps England could look to play another striker against Wales or simply stick with Kane as we all know his quality. Why look for many changes when things, in the main, worked? Lessons for Hodgson? Five things we all learned from Englands 1-1 draw with Russia in Marseille on Saturday. We always knew the weakness was the centre-back position, and that was confirmed by Russias equaliser. Too many people have been focused on the result and not the performance. England have got a lot going for them, they are not the perfect team but, considering the team has been thrown together out of the blue, there was enough there to take and improve on to guarantee a good tournament. Do you think Spanish pundits would focus on Kane on corners like English pundits - your general view on Kane taking set-pieces? (@truefootballfa3) Why is Kane on corners? Why is Harry Kane taking corners for England? We examine the debate and reveal a surprising stat... Ive spoken to coaches who have say that if the player is the best at taking set pieces then why not let him take them?David Villa used to take set pieces for Spain and it didnt create a big debate, but people sometimes focus on the tiny little details instead of looking at the performance.

As each game passes (each has played close with the exception of last night) it becomes clearer just how evenly matched these two teams are and how one mistake, or one bad inning, is likely to sway the result. MADRID, Spain -- Atletico Madrid and Barcelona showed the battle for the title would be a long, drawn-out affair after the Spanish co-leaders drew 0-0 in their first league meeting of the season on Saturday. Both teams finished the first half of the season tied on 50 points after an exciting, back-and-forth showdown at Vicente Calderon Stadium yielded no winner. Barcelona was troubled by Atletico pair Diego Costa and Arda Turan throughout, while second-half substitute Lionel Messi enjoyed the visitors best chances as the Barcelona forward headed wide before forcing goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois into a clutch stop in the 81st. Neymar also came on in the second half for Barcelona but the Brazil striker made little impact as the teams played out their third straight draw following the summer Spanish Super Cup series. "It was like a game of chess," Atletico coach Diego Simeone said. "The game reflected where these two teams are in the standings." Atletico will remain encouraged about winning its first title since 1996 and dislodging the Barcelona-Real Madrid monopoly that has been broken only by Deportivo La Coruna and Valencia since. Real Madrid travels to Espanyol on Sunday knowing a victory will move it to within three points of the leaders. While Barcelona counted on its squad of regulars, Atleticos lineup was relatively unchanged down to Simeones all-black suit and jacket. The hosts started more brightly as Turans short cross along the goal-line was headed just over for the games opening chance four minutes in. The physical Diego Costa forced goalkeeper Victor Valdes into a save before awkward positioning kept him scoring from a headed-on corner in the 28th. Barcelona braved Atleticos early surge and its choking pressure up the field with its passing game, with Pedro Rodriguez heading over goal inn the 33rd before Courtois saved Gerard Piques long, low shot.dddddddddddd With Cesc Fabregas playing as a "false 9" Barcelona had trouble breaking through in attack. "We expected a very strong, disciplined, and unrelenting opponent. They dont leave any open space in their area and its very difficult to expose them," Barcelona midfielder Xavi Hernandez said. "We just couldnt create enough chances on goal. It was a very intense game." Tension was building as the action moved end-to-end in the hard-fought, energetic match with Simeone warned by the referee to cool down just before the break. Andres Iniesta hurt his left knee and gave way to Messi to start the second half but it was Diego Costa who continued to prowl Barcelonas goal only to shoot wide in the 59th. Messi perhaps showed some rust from a two-month injury layoff when he headed Jordi Albas cross wide from the penalty spot at the other end. Alba and Daniel Alves made little impact in attack as the Barcelona fullbacks were cut off by Atleticos strikers. Atletico looked set to break through in the 79th but Turan volleyed a looping ball straight at Valdes, moments before Courtois denied Messis hard-taken shot from the left. "I dont know what will happen between now and the last 19 rounds but I expect Atletico to stay in the fight," Barcelona coach Gerardo Martino said. Also, Athletic Bilbao maintained its grip on fourth by demolishing Almeria 6-1 while Valencias season-long slide continued with a 2-1 defeat at Celta Vigo. Athletic enjoys a four-point cushion in fourth at the halfway point of the season, while Almeria sits three points above the drop zone. Celta moved three points clear of the relegation zone with the victory. Daniel Carrico scored in the last minute as Sevilla rallied to draw 1-1 at Elche.
