Raul Dumped By Spain

Filed in archive International on September 29, 2006

The Galacticos fall from grace continues as Raul has been left out of the Spain squad for the first time in 10 years.

"I haven't spoken to Raul about it," said coach Luis Aragones. "I don't usually talk to the players unless they are injured."

I feel for the guy, but having seen him look pretty unimpressive in a Madrid shirt this season it's easy to understand Aragones decision. It's pretty much the Spanish equivalent of McLaren ditching Beckham.
