Brazil Down to One Last Cut; Spain Set

So my prayers have been answered. Three players have been cut from the team that's going to play two friendly games against China over the weekend in Barueri. With that, the roster has been trimmed down to 13 players. Ok, so the latest victims are Vivian (sorry, but I agree with this one), Karen Gustavo and Lilian. The final cut should be made after the games. I am thinking a power forward, probably Ega.
Check CBB for the official press release.

Spain's World Champs roster is set and it didn't come without a surprise. Marina Ferragut, the experienced center, was the final cut in the Spanish squad, which leaves them with a pretty thin frontcourt. The Spanish coach had already cut forward Elisabeth Cébrian. The 12 chosen are Elisa Aguilar, Nuria Martínez, Silvia Domínguez, Marta Fernández, Laia Palau, Isabel Sánchez, Amaya Valdemoro, Laura Camps, Ana Montañana, Lucila Pascua, Eva Montesdeoca e Paula Seguí.
Spain is in Brazil's group and should be the toughest challenge during the group stage. Both teams play on September 14 at the Ibirapuera Arena.
Get your horns and drums ready.
