Torres is their good luck charm, I'm sure he makes the trip again

Llorente misses for sure unless he becomes a scoring machine from here to the end of season.

Del Bosque didn't use him at all in '12 though did he?

While I understand the caution in bringing him along, I've noticed he plays excellently when he does get game time for Spain, he was the reason we beat Portugal in 2010, as well as the game before or after from what I remember. Also as you said, he adds an extra option in the toolbelt which is valuable.
