Group F - Paraguay

For the fourth consecutive time, Paraguay appear in the World Cup. England fans will recognise most of the squad from the group stages in 2006, and peoplke really do expect. Since 2006, a lot of the team have headed to Europe, and the likes of Roque Santa Cruz and Jonathan Santana are now playing for some of the best teams in the world.

Capital City: Asuncion
Captain: Justo Villar
Manager: Gerardo Martino
Star Man: Oscar Cardozo - a lot of interest in this bloke. Looks a good forward - lots of running around, lots of energy, and lots of firepower. Another one who could be on for a good move.
Group Games: Italy (14th June); Slovakia (20th June); New Zealand (24th June)
Adam's Prediction: Got a relatively good team, but it's not going to be good enough. 3rd in Group F.

Full Squad:
Goalkeepers: Justo Villar (Valladolid/ESP), Aldo Bobadilla (Deportivo Independiente de Medellin/COL), Diego Barreto (Cerro Porteno) 

Defenders: Claudio Morel Rodriguez (Boca Juniors/ARG), Denis Caniza (Leon/MEX), Paulo da Silva (Sunderland/ENG), Dario Veron (Pumas UNAM/MEX), Julio Cesar Caceres (Atletico Mineiro/BRA), Carlos Bonet (Olimpia), Aureliano Torres (San Lorenzo de Almagro/ARG), Antolin Alcaraz (FC Bruges/BEL) 

Midfielders: Edgar Barreto (Atalanta/ITA), Cristian Riveros (Cruz Azul/MEX), Victor Caceres (Libertad), Enrique Vera (Liga Deportiva Universitaria de Quito/ECU), Jonathan Santana (Wolfsburg/GER), Nestor Ortigoza (Argentinos Juniors/ARG) 

Forwards: Roque Santa Cruz (Manchester City/ENG), Nelson Haedo Valdez (Borussia Dortmund/GER), Oscar Cardozo (Benfica/POR), Edgar Benitez (Toluca/MEX), Lucas Barrios (Borussia Dortmund/GER), Rodolfo Gamarra (Libertad)
