Call Up List for August 20th

Just a few days before the game against Honduras Sven Goran Eriksson gave his final call up list of players chosen for the WC 2010 qualifier. Sven dropped most of the local players and went with the “Europeos” along with an MLS star.

Goalkeepers:

Oswaldo Sanchez (Santos Laguna)
Guillermo Ochoa (America)
Jesus Corona (Tecos UAG)

Defenders:

Rafael Marquez (Barcelona)
Jonny Magallon (Guadalajara)
Ricardo Osorio (VfB Stuttgart)
Carlos Salcido (PSV Eindhoven)
Francisco Rodriguez (PSV Eindhoven)
Aaron Galindo (Eintracht Frankfurt)
Fausto Pinto (Pachuca)
Edgar Castillo (Santos Laguna)

Midfielders:

Gerardo Torrado (Cruz Azul)
Pavel Pardo (Stuttgart)
Luis Perez (Monterrey)
Fernando Arce (Santos Laguna)
Andres Guardado (Deportivo Coruna)
Leandro Augusto (Pumas UNAM)
Francisco Torres (Santos Laguna)

Forwards:

Guillermo Franco (Villarreal)
Omar Bravo (Deportivo Coruna)
Carlos Vela (Arsenal)
Cuauhtemoc Blanco (Chicago Fire)
Carlos Ochoa (Monterrey)
Matias Vuoso (Santos Laguna)
Giovani dos Santos (Tottenham Hotspur)

With 3 naturalized players theres sure to be alot of controversy surrounding the call up. Regular Guillermo Franco along with the two new additions of Leandro Augusto and Matias Vuoso have been playing well and in my opinion if they didn’t want to play for the country they wouldn’t have responded to the call up.
