Full starting line-ups for the Spain v France knockout match which decide which team progresses to the World Cup 2006 Quarter-Finals. Arsenal's Reyes, Liverpool's Luis Garcia, Barcelona's Iniesta, Manchester United's Mikael Silvestre, Lyon's Sylvain Wiltord and Juventus' David Trezeguet star on the bench.

Spain will start from a completely changed team to the one that beat Saudi Arabia 1-0, a game in which their entire starting 11 for their two first wins were rested.

The Spanish captain Raul starts along with Atlético Madrid’s Fernando Torres and Valencia’s David Villa in attack, with Liverpool’s Luis Garcia and Arsenal’s Jose Antonio Reyes both starting on the bench.

France’s veteran captain Zinedine Zidane is back after suspension and will be joining Franck Ribery, Florent Malouda and Will Sagnol in defence.

Arsenal’s Thierry Henry, who played a lone striker role in France’s opening two matches, will be starting alone up-front for the start of the match.
