Unfortunately, one of the most expected players to be seen in Germany 2006 is injured. England with the unexpected injury of Rooney on April 26th lost a key player.
Just around the corner of there debut, Owen appears to be injured and English coach Eriksson, changed his formation to be on the top of the group as expected. Sweden coach Lars Lagerback was backing England to emerge as genuine contenders to lift the World Cup, but he may now view the top spot in Group B to be within his side's grasp.
Drawn in Group B, Paraguayans have been given little chance of getting the results expected against England in Frankfurt, especially after three unimpressive matches in Europe; which began with draws in Norway and Denmark. Any how, Paraguay appears to be silent and positive as they fly to Europe much more convinced, that a spot for them is waiting in that group. His 4-4-2 formation is set in stone, defensive but very steady to their goals for this coming World Cup. Knowing their opening match against England is a key game for passing to the next round; Coach Anibal Ruiz said on Thursday that Paraguay's star striker Roque Santa Cruz will be fit to face England in their opening FIFA World Cup 2006 match.
Germany 2006 will be Sweden's eleventh World Cup foray the relatively small Scandinavian country with a population of 8.8 million have a very good record at World Cup tournaments. They will start their journey keeping in mind that they could represent much more after a poor participation in Korea-Japan. The Swedes will expect to progress from the Group B and will not fear England which has a long history and a fantastic record against.
Trinidad and Tobago, ranked 47 by FIFA, had to call in a late replacement for midfielder Silvio Spann; it is the second change for coach Leo Beenhakker who also sacrificed midfielder Anthony Rougier. Knowing that, this national team is short of resources at their disposal; they are aware that it won’t be easy but positive that they will try to get any point necessary to represent within this group in the World Cup.
Sports betting fans go for England as big favorites for round 2 and as first to qualify. Taking in consideration that anything can happen and it’s not easy. Paraguay and Sweden could have their own fight for that second space; any how, Paraguay is the most likely to join the England crew.
