No Ronaldinho or poor old Lucas for Brazil

It's very hard to get in to the brazil squad eh? Lucas is a decent player, but in a brazil squad you have to be über good!

[Shaggy]

How the hell do Argentina perm 1, 2 or 3 strikers out of that lot?!

[Shaggy]

Brazil's frontline, on the other hand, is ****.

[Shaggy]

No Zanetti or Cambiasso for the Argies

[Shaggy]

Riera left out by Spain. From starter to zero.

[Darkon]

Brazil's frontline, on the other hand, is ****.

Grafite and Fabiano are class players and Robinho is a decent player. I think they have quite a strong attack!

[Pablo]

I know he's past his best but you'd surely still have Ronaldinho in your squad!

[Darkon]

How the hell do Argentina perm 1, 2 or 3 strikers out of that lot?!

It's just crazy isn't it! ****ing hell most nations would be extatic with just half of that!

[Neil Young]

Spain's options in midfield are astounding. We knew it before but just seeing the list I'm still amazed.

Grafite and Fabiano are class players and Robinho is a decent player. I think they have quite a strong attack!

I rate Fabiano but Grafite always flatters to deceive when I see him and I don't like Robinho at all.

It's just crazy isn't it! ****ing hell most nations would be extatic with just half of that!

Unbelievable. I understand they'll start with Milito as the main man - which begs the question, where the hell does that leave Tevez, Aguero and the other fella...Messi?
