Okay, so I wanted to figure out who made the cut for the Spain squad in the 2014 World Cup. It’s been a while, so my memory was a bit fuzzy on the exact roster.

Digging for the Info
First, I just did a simple search. Just typed in “spain squad for world cup 2014” to see what would pop up.
The search results gave me a bunch of websites. I skimmed through a few of them, looking for a reliable source that clearly listed the players.
I found some dedicated sports sites that looked pretty legit. They usually have detailed team breakdowns and historical data.
Confirming the Roster
I made a note that looked like this to record what I found out.
- Goalkeepers:I saw Iker Casillas’s name pop up everywhere, so he was definitely in. Then there was Pepe Reina and David de Gea.
- Defenders: I remember Sergio Ramos and Gerard Piqué were the main guys. I wrote down other names like Jordi Alba, Juanfran, and Raúl Albiol.
- Midfielders: This is where Spain always shines. Xavi, Iniesta, Busquets – those were the obvious ones. I also found names like Cesc Fàbregas, Xabi Alonso, and Santi Cazorla.
- Forwards: I remember Diego Costa being a controversial pick. Also listed were David Villa, Fernando Torres, and Pedro.
Putting it All Together
It was cool to check on those players and get the information for the 2014 world cup.

I’ve got a pretty solid list now. I feel much better about the details now that I’ve actually looked it up!
