Squad officially named
Ladies and Gentlemen, meet your 2006 Spain World Cup squad, as announced today by Luis Aragones:
Goalkeepers: Iker Casillas (Real Madrid), Pepe Reina (Liverpool), Santiago Canizares (Valencia)
Defenders: Antonio Lopez (Atletico Madrid), Pablo Ibanez (Atletico Madrid), Carles Puyol (Barcelona), Juanito (Real Betis), Asier del Horno (Chelsea), Michel Salgado (Real Madrid), Sergio Ramos (Real Madrid), Carlos Marchena (Valencia)
Midfielders: Cesc Fabregas (Arsenal), Jose Antonio Reyes (Arsenal), Andres Iniesta (Barcelona), Xavi (Barcelona), Joaquin (Real Betis), Luis Garcia (Liverpool), Xabi Alonso (Liverpool), David Albelda (Valencia), Marcos Senna (Villarreal)
Forwards: Fernando Torres (Atletico Madrid), Raul (Real Madrid), David Villa (Valencia)
Observations:
- The poor form of Liverpool’s Fernando Morientes has officially cost him a World Cup appearance.
- Who is the weakest link in this team? Many would say Carlos Marchena. After that, it’s hard to find a hole in this team.
- Raul claims he will enter the WC in the best shape of his life. With just three forwards, Spain will certainly need him.

I think the weak link is Raul. I realize he is the captain, but he is past his best and Villa and Torres should be starting. Villa has been spectacular for Valencia and deserves to start.

may god gurd in evry murch you play.




i think morientes should have made the team even though he did not have the best of times for liverpool that does not take away from the fact that he is a world class striker. maybe the english league is not really for him i mean not everyone can adapt to a different system.
