Spain v Tunisia - Starting Line-Ups - Arsenal FC's Fabregas and Reyes & Toulouse's Dos Santos Start on the Bench

Submitted by Pavlos Skoufis on Mon, 19/06/2006 - 19:19.

The starting line-ups for the Spain v Tunisia match. Arsenal FC midfielders Cesc Fabregas and Jose Antonio Reyes start on the Spanish bench, the same as Toulouse striker Santos for the eagles of Carthage.

Tunisia's Brazilian-born striker Francileudo dos Santos is not expected to play because of a leg injury. Spain coach Luis Aragones is expecting a strong show-up from the Eagles of Carthage and spoke with respect about Tunisia's coach Rogerre Lemerre.

Spain have competed in the last eight World Cups but the only time they have ever got beyond the quarter-finals was when they reached the last four in 1950.

Tunisia was the first African nation to win a World Cup match when they beat Mexico 3-1 in 1978.
