Raul Set For Euro 2008 Inclusion


Raul, in action for MadridDespite Luis Aragones overlooking the inclusion of Raul in the Spanish team since their early Euro 2008 qualifiers, the Madrid forward who is currently top of the goal scoring charts in La Liga (eight goals) has not been ruled out of a place in the Spanish squad for their Group D encounters with Greece, Russia and Sweden in the summer.

The fact that he is currently joint top scorer in the league may well have boosted his chances for a recall in June. Raul faces stiff competition from the likes of Raul Tamudo, David Villa and Liverpool’s Fernando Torres who is currently on fire for Liverpool with 11 goals so far for the club this season, especially considering he’s not starting every game.

The bottom line from Aragones is that if Raul plays well, then like every one else he’s got a chance of making the squad. The Real Madrid man turns 31 during the competition next summer so it could be his last major competition to feature with Spain.
