World Cup 2010 Spanish National Team
World Cup 2010 Spanish National Team Manager Vicente del Bosque has confirmed Spain's 23-man squad for the 2010 World Cup in South Africa.
Two big names who successfully made the cut were Barcelona goalkeeper Victor Valdes and young forward Pedro Rodriguez. Also included in the final-23 was Athletic Bilbao's 21-year-old central midfielder, Javi Martinez.
However, del Bosque had to make a number of surprising exclusions. There was no place for Euro 2008 hero Marcos Senna and Villarreal team-mate Santi Cazorla, while one of the coach's reliable favourite, Dani Guiza was also omitted.
