WORLD CUP TRAINING PICS: VARIOUS TEAMS

These pics show various training methods and locations from many of this year's WC teams. Most of the pics would be great for icons, so please help yourself!
NOTE: There are NO pics of Cristiano Ronaldo from the Portugal team...this is because he tends to take all the attention away from the other players. And I feel that everyone has seen quite enough of him already. Also, for Argentina I have included NO pics of Diego Belladonna Maradona. This is just a matter of personal taste.

The Germany pics have none of the Bayern Munich players because they were all in Madrid for the Champions League final. Ditto for any of the other countries that have Bayern Munich or Inter Milan players.

Similarly, five of Mexico's players are missing. They play for Chivas de Guadalajara, who have reached the semi-finals of the Copa Libertadores, to be played in July.

On a positive note, Team France is training in the French Alps. These photos are gorgeous as a result.

Enjoy!

A sample:

Raul Meireles of Portugal.

MY WC TEAMS: PARAGUAY

Paraguay is in Group F with Italy, New Zealand and Slovakia. I don't care about Italy, I don't know anything about New Zealand and Slovakia, so the only team I really like is Paraguay. One of the most attractive teams, IMO, it was a pleasure to put together this picspam.♥ Of interest, one of the strikers is Argentine (Lucas Barrios) but when he learned that he would not be called up to that team, he managed to acquire citizenship for Paraguay, and has joined their NT.
