Fernando Hierro (Captain)
Seasoned defender, Hierro is a utility man in midfield too. Strong in the air, Hierro is known for his headers from corner kicks.

Michel Salgado
Tireless defender, Salgado is part of the supporting cast in defence along side Puyol.

Ivan Helguera
A busy midfielder, Helguera also doubles up in defence. Outstanding in both positions.

Luis Enrique
A veteran of the side, Enrique is an effective striker. Age and injury have diminished his prowess, but he may just sign off in style.

Gaizka Mendieta
Mendieta is an artist. He can be outstanding if he is given the freedom to stamp his authority in midfield.

Xavi Hernandez
A playmaker, Xavi will fill in for the injured Guardiola. Very organised, he is an asset in midfield.

Diego Tristan
The talented Tristan can impress with stunning goals. Plays in the shadow of his illustrious forwards.

Fernando Morientes
A gifted striker, Morientes has forged an effective partnership with his Real Madrid teammate, Raul. A dangerous customer in the box.

Raul Gonzalez
Raul is the toast of Spain. He plays with guile and scores effortlessly. Prolific at club level, Spain needs an outstanding contribution from him to advance.

Jose Antonio Camacho (Coach)
Camacho, a plucky defender in his playing days, has packed his side with medios. An exponent of the 4-4-2 system, it gives him many options to choose from.
