With a lot of teams consistently "switching it up at the back" and changing goalkeepers for each game, Spain seem certain in their first choice Fernandez. Fernandez who was brought into the full international squad to provide cover for standout talent Cortes for recent international tournaments such as the World Cup qualifiers, is seen as the future of Spain's goalkeeping, as demonstrated in media coverage (linked below) blogged about previously. He has "come up big" with some solid saves, especially at short corners, for his team but has not been called upon too much so far in the tournament.

Spain's Garcia Gascon playing for Daring
Pol Garcia-Gascon is an overseas player currently playing for Royal Daring Hockey Club in the Belgian elite league. The Spanish star, formerly of Athletic Terrassa, is potentially the only overseas goalkeeper in the league, although Kyle Pontifex has played in Belgium previous. It's his second season in the league (I think!), having played for them last season. He brings an extra dimension to the game with his style, offering a more difficult goalkeeper to read and beat than what his Belgian opponents are potentially normally used to.
