The veteran shot-stopper hinted at a probable defensive approach of La Roja, while also his disdain of going through the World Cup qualification campaign.
As unlikely as it seems, Real Madrid captain, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Iker-Casillas-c16815, is quite concerned regarding his national side’s chances of making it to the FIFA World Cup 2014 in Brazil.
According to the Spanish international, La Roja are likely to face difficulties in their attempt to qualify for the grandest tournament in the sport. Furthermore, the goalkeeper went on to suggest that there is no guarantee that Spain will make it to the
World Cup.
"Obviously it is strange and unusual that the world champions do not have an automatic ticket for http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Brazil-c2858. It could happen that we do not reach the World Cup and it would be strange if the champions were not there to defend their title, but we are just thinking
about what we are doing," the Real Madrid captain said.
FIFA laws require the World Champions to compete in the qualifiers for the prestigious competition, hence denying them the luxury of an automatic qualification.
According to the governing body’s policies, qualification for the coveted tournament is guaranteed only for the host team.
Experts question the worry of the Spanish national captain, as his team have been the team to beat since the tail-end of the previous decade, claiming that there is no reason for http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Spain-c3011 to be absent from the main event in Brazil two years from now.

http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Ukraine-c3032.
Despite their overly defensive tactics, La Furia Roja have still managed to enjoy dominance over the world of football over recent years. Their supremacy over other sides began in Euro 2008 when they were crowned the champions of Europe after beating http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Germany-c2904
in the final.
Two years later, the Reds lifted the World Cup trophy in http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/South-Africa-c757, a feat which was followed by Spain’s 2nd sucessive European triumph in 2012.
