SPAIN 2006 WORLD CUP SQUAD.39 NAMES & ONLY 23 CAN GO.

With the Spanish League coming to this seasons end, the
debate is heating up on who National Coach Luis Aragones
should be calling up to represent Spain at the upcoming
World Cup tournament in Germany. The below team
(pictured) will surely have new players & some will be left
out. BUT WHO?
(el mundo)

There are 39 names on everyones lips at this moment & Aragones
can only take 23 with him, this will no doubt be giving him some
headaches,specially if to take Real Madrid & Spanish captian Raul
Gonzalez( pictured with him below).Many journos believe Raul is
not in form & should be left out, but Aragones sees him as the soul
& lifeblood of the team & may well take him as psychological medicine
& as an inspirational instrument.
Lets run through the current names! My personal selection
in black.

So it´s surely tough for the National coach, although some are easily
eliminated,others are more difficult. Although I have my ideas,

as do 000,000s of Spaniards & Football fans, I am glad this hot
potato is in Luis Aragones hands & not mine - tough call folks,
stay tuned!

I´m wondering, what opinions do the readers have, if any?
