Spain: The strongest team (as in the team with the best players) in the WC in my opinion. But I was looking forward to seeing Joaquin. They have also picked their best players available. The main XI will be hard to pick-

-----Casillas------
--Ramos-Puyol-Marchena--
--Fabregas-Iniesta-Xavi/Senna--
Navas--------------Silva/Alonso
-----Villa--Torres/Silva-----

Australia: Kewell's injury will really hurt them. But they have picked the best aailable squad. Main XI-

-----Schwarzer------
Neill-Wilkshire-Milligan-Chipperfield
------Valeri----
Emerton--Cahill--Kewell
----Bresciano--McDonald---

Ivory Coast: They have a promising team. But Erikson as the manager I dont see them going too far. Drogba will be the main man for sure. No surprising picks. Main XI-

---Barry---
Eboue-Toure-Boka
---Zokora-Y. Toure---
---Romaric-K. Keita---
Kalou-Drogba-Kone
