MADRID -- New Spain coach Julen Lopetegui dropped longtime captain Iker Casillas on Friday for the start of 2018 World Cup qualifying.Casillas has a team-record 167 matches for Spain, although the 35-year-old goalkeeper didnt play a minute of the European Championship because he was David de Geas backup.Lopetegui said Casillas could return to the team, however.Iker is an icon, both past and present, but in this case we decided that our starting goalkeeper will be De Gea, Lopetegui said. But in no case does this close the door for Iker. We will be watching his performance level closely.Since his debut in 2000, Casillas has manned Spains net through its unprecedented run of three major titles, when it won the 2010 World Cup in between the 2008 and 2012 European Championships.Lopetegui was coach of FC Porto when Casillas left Real Madrid after 16 seasons for the Portuguese club in July 2015. Lopetegui was fired midway through the season and was without a job until last month when he replaced Vicente del Bosque, after Spain was eliminated in the round of 16 of Euro 2016.Lopetegui also left veterans Cesc Fabregas, Pedro Rodriguez, and Juanfran Torres off his first list.Strikers Diego Costa and Paco Alcacer both return after Del Bosque dropped them for Euro 2016.Lopetegui also called up youngsters Marco Asensio, Sergi Roberto, and Saul Niguez, as well as goalie Adrian San Miguel.Andres Iniesta was injured and left out.Spain plays Belgium in a friendly on Sept. 1.

Its sure working out, though. The fun-loving Spaniard, again showing how much experience matters at golfs oldest major championship, scrambled for an even-par 71 on Friday that was good enough to lead midway through the British Open at baked-out Muirfield. He can hardly relax. Tiger Woods was among four players just one stroke behind, a group that also included English favourite Lee Westwood, long-hitting American Dustin Johnson, and Swedens Henrik Stenson. Two-time major champion Angel Cabrera and first-round leader Zach Johnson were another stroke back, still in the game despite tough finishes. The course was the real winner on this day -- dry as a bone and firm as a snooker table, giving up only four scores in the 60s. Another warm, sunny day along the Forth of Firth had nearby beachgoers frolicking in the surf, like this was Southern California instead of Scotland, but it made things miserable out on a course that is more brown than green. There were balls scooting all over the place. They wound up behind grandstands, in knee-high grass, up against the face of pot bunkers. Dustin Johnson had to intentionally hit a sideways shot into the rough just to escape a bunker. Phil Mickelson four-putted a hole. Darren Clarke made a quadruple-bogey. And get this -- they were all still in contention for the claret jug. Leading the way was Jimenez, a cigar-smoking, wine-loving golfer nicknamed "The Mechanic" who is perhaps best known outside Europe for the unique way he gets ready for a round. Upon arriving at the range, hell put his knees together and gyrate his hips both clockwise and counterclockwise -- silly looking enough as it is, but especially for a guy with a hefty belly and even heftier ponytail. Then hell pull out a couple of clubs to help stretch his legs and loosen up his arms, though none of it looks very strenuous. "Im amused by his warm-up routine," Mickelson said. "I would hurry to the course to watch it." But this golfer is all business out on the course. Jimenez has bounced back from missing four months recovering from a broken right leg sustained in a skiing accident last winter. If he can keep it going through the weekend, he might take a run at Julius Boros, the oldest major champion in golf history when he won the PGA Championship at age 48. Heck, Tom Watson nearly won this tournament a few years ago at age 59. "Why not?" asked Jimenez, whose was at 3-under 139 through two days. "Theres two more rounds to go. You never know whats going to happen. Im just going to have fun on the golf course. When I finish here, Ill have a glass of red wine later on. Im just going to keep doing the same thing." Hes not exactly leading the conventional way, far down in the rankings for fairways hit and greens in regulation. But no one has done a better job scrambling for pars. Jimenez ranked first in the putting, seeming to always find a way to get the ball up close to the hole even during the frequent times he ran into trouble. "Im playing very solid," Jimeenez said.dddddddddddd "In these conditions, its not easy. With these pin positions, its very, very tough to get in close." Woods plodded along most of the day, lipping out a putt from 2 1/2 feet, missing another short putt and settling for a bunch of pars -- 12 in a row until his final stroke of the round. Then, he looked like the Tiger of old, rolling in a 15-footer for birdie on Muirfields tough closing hole. He raised his putter toward the blue sky with a flourish, fully aware he was positioned again to break the longest major drought of his career. "It will be a fun weekend," said Woods, who also shot 71. "I was kind of fighting it." Everyone was. Westwood was among that minuscule group putting up a score in the 60s, but even he was staggering a bit by the end. After a brilliant front nine -- he carded five birdies -- the 40-year-old bogeyed three of the last six holes to finish with a 68. The last English golfer to win the British Open was Nick Faldo in 1992. Westwood wants to end that streak with his first major title. "Why not enjoy it out there?" he said. "Its tough for everybody. So smile your way through." Woods is trying to break a drought of his own. Hes 0-for-16 at majors since the 2008 U.S. Open, and missed four others during that stretch recovering from injuries. Graham DeLaet of Weyburn, Sask., the lone Canadian in the field, will be around on the weekend. DeLaet, playing in his first major, shot 1-over 72 Friday to sit at 6 over after two rounds. Whoever wins this one will have to earn it. While the conditions look perfect for scoring, nothing like the miserable weather that struck the Open the last time it was at Muirfield in 2002, there werent many chances for going low. The greens were just too slick, the pin placements just too tough. It was too much for old-timers such as Mark OMeara, the 1998 Open champion who started with a surprising 67 that left him one stroke behind Zach Johnson after Day 1. The 56-year-old lost his ball at No. 6, leading to a double-bogey, and stumbled to the finish with a 78. "Its pretty simple: If you dont hit it good in an Open championship with the rough the way it is out there, youre going to make some bogeys," OMeara said. "The short game is key. You have to putt well. I did none of those well." Tom Lehman soared to 77 after opening with a 68. Todd Hamilton followed up a 69 with an 81. The young werent spared, either. Jordan Spieth, the 19-year-old who last weekend became the PGA Tours youngest winner since 1931, made only two bogeys through his first 32 holes and was 3 under. Then came a double-bogey at the 15th, back-to-back bogeys at the next two holes, and a missed chance at No. 18 when a 4-footer for birdie slid by the cup. Just like that, the youngster found himself at 1-over 143. He bent over in frustration alongside the green. Rory McIlroy wont even be around for the weekend. He finished at 12-over 154 after two miserable rounds, missing the cut. So did Luke Donald and U.S. Open champion Justin Rose, two British favourites who never got anything going. Maybe they should try Jimenezs routine. ' ' '
