Complete preliminary rosters from Group H:
Source: http://glavisted.blogspot.com/2010/05/escuadras-oficiales_10.html

I'm not sure about the absences of youngers as Diego Capel and Bojan Krkic (Spain), and Cristopher Toselli (Chile).

Re: Group H Preliminary Team Rosters

Toselli is not starter in his club (Universidad Católica), so he will play in the Toulon tournament next week, with our U23 NT.

Re: Group H Preliminary Team Rosters

It's a pity for Jaime Valdés, very good player.

Re: Group H Preliminary Team Rosters

Yeh its a shame, can't understand why Bielsa decided to test him out only for 45 minutes...

Re: Group H Preliminary Team Rosters

what the hell is Busquets doing in the squad... aiming to give an Oscar winning perfomance?

Re: Group H Preliminary Team Rosters

Marcos Senna, the best player of the 2008 Euro is missing, he should have been in the squad, he brings toughness that Spain will lack against teams like Italy, Germany or Brazil. He should have been on the bench at least, just in case...

Re: Group H Preliminary Team Rosters

He doesn't have "eggs"("balls") (he's a "pecho frío").

Agreed 100%.
Senna is better than Busquets, Alonso and Martínez.

Re: Group H Preliminary Team Rosters

I've never understand that adjective as a bad quality, actually, many times is necessary a player in a different intensity. I think Valdés could be very useful to the Chilean system, personally, slightly better than Fernández right now.

Re: Group H Preliminary Team Rosters

Mancilla (topscorer and Champion in the Mexican Championship) won't play the WC (Bielsa decided it today).

So now we have 24 players:

Claudio Bravo (Real Sociedad/SPA)
Miguel Pinto (Universidad de Chile)
Luis Marín (Unión Española)

Waldo Ponce (Universidad Católica)
Gonzalo Jara (West Bromwich Albion/ENG)
Gary Medel (Boca Juniors/ARG)

Ismael Fuentes (Universidad Católica)
Roberto Cereceda (Colo-Colo)

Mauricio Isla (Udinese/ITA)
Marco Estrada (Universidad de Chile)
Carlos Carmona (Reggina/ITA)
Rodrigo Millar (Colo-Colo)
Jorge Valdivia (Al-Ain/UAE)
Matías Fernández (Sporting Lisboa/POR)
Gonzalo Fierro (Flamengo/BRA))
Rodrigo Tello (Besiktas/TUR)
Jean Beausejour (América/MEX)

Alexis Sánchez (Udinese/ITA)
Humberto Suazo (Real Zaragoza/SPA)
Mark González (CSKA Moskva/RUS)
Fabián Orellana (Xerez/SPA)
Esteban Paredes (Colo-Colo)

DT: Marcelo Bielsa(ARG).

Re: Group H Preliminary Team Rosters

Re: Group H Preliminary Team Rosters

Pedro and Albiol have switched numbers.

On Wednesday the Spanish team took their official team photo (as noted by MARCA):




I found this alternate photo that has two noticable changes.
Juan Mata (left side) and Jesús Navas (right side) have both moved from sitting in the first row to standing in the second row.
The assistant coaches are also missing.

Re: Group H Preliminary Team Rosters

For the 1rst time the Spaniard NT going to use red sox in a WC?
(I think so).
