No Milito either. Weird.

They can be called up after the round of friendlies though?

EDIT Milito is there, but still, there's loads of players he's not taken that are better than some of them.

Diego Milito is there. Last few lists i've had to go off Wikipedia hence why it's a long shopping list type.

Seems like lots of good players are not chosen.
In Brazil there is no Pato, Ronaldinho, Marcelo (and maybe Ronaldo, wouldve been wonderful). But instead players like Doni and Baptista. In Roma I think Julio Sergio was first keeper (also Brazilian) and Doni put on bench, this is strange.
Argentina have 7 strikers? Gutierrez? Veron? Lots of domestic league players but no Zanetti, Cambiasso, Banega and maybe the other Millito (perhaps Zab should have a place).
France left out couple of good ones as well, but Domenech are psycho.

I think there is some crucial players missing (my opinion though). Spain and England are my favs

August 2008, extracts taken from Carra: My Autobiography:

• "I was never in love with playing for England in the first place."

• "Sitting on the England coach as it prepared to drive us away from the World Cup in Germany, I received a text message. 'Fcuk it! It's only England'. I'd just missed a penalty in the quarter-final shoot-out against Portugal. Representing your country is the ultimate honour, especially in the World Cup. Not to me."

• "I would rather miss for England than LFC."

• "I wasn't giving up my football career or my ambitions. Only England."

• "The Liver Bird mauled the Three Lions in the fight for my loyalties."

• "Whenever I returned home from disappointing England experiences, one unshakeable, overriding thought pushed itself to the forefront of my mind, no matter how much the rest of the nation mourned. 'At least it wasn't Liverpool,' I'd repeat to myself, over and over."

11 May 2010, upon being named in provisional World Cup squad:

• "I'm not getting any younger, we have no [Big Cup] football next season."

Ha - Prince-Boeteng's German too isn't he - I bet he's not planning a trip home any time soon!

Just read about that, think he was born in Germany but plays for someone else, i think.
