Re: Who will be your country's starting strikers for Matchday 1 in WC06?

This is what I would wish for... not necessarily what Luis Aragonés
will choose, though given that there are so many foreigners in Spain,
he doesn't have all that many choices:

Casillas, Del Horno, Puyol, Ramos, Salgado, Baraja, Albelda, Xavi
Hernández (if he recovers), Vicente (if he recovers), Villa, Reyes.

Alternates: Xavi Alonso, Angulo, Luis García, Cesc, Torres, Raúl,
Cañizares, Reina, Navas, Marchena, Oleguer, Guti, Morientes.

As I said, the choices are very limited and the future is not too rosy.
Never mind the "triunfalistas" who will predict a championship for
Spain. I hope for a compact team that can play in the style of the much
vilified (here in Spain) Italians, waiting and counterattacking.

Best,

MrT
