Spain

(Andres Guardado(Deportivo La Coruna)- Was not called up for the 0-0 draw against Racing Santander.

Omar Bravo(Deportivo La Coruna)- Stayed on the bench the whole game.

Javier Aguirre(Atletico)-Ay ay. I was really hoping that Atleti would finally win. Unfortunately they went down to Real Madrid 2-1.

England

Carlos Vela(Arsenal)-Carlitos remained on the bench the whole game in which Arsenal beat Everton 3-1. Seems like he’ll have to try harder to get into the team now that Van Persie is fit and and Theo Walcott is finding the net.
