Jose Luis Chilavert

Club: Racing Strasbourg
Position: Goalkeeper

More famous for his ability to find the back of the net and for the hot-headedness which so often lands him in trouble, Jose Luis Chilavert is also an excellent goalkeeper.

The Paraguay skipper scored four times in qualifying for this summer's World Cup with two goals from free-kicks and two from the spot.

But, during a career which has seen him play in Europe as well as South America, he has also been named World Goalkeeper of the Year.

He will miss the opening two group matches through suspension after being sent off for spitting at Roberto Carlos during the qualifier with Brazil.
