Key Men

Roque Santa Cruz and Denis Caniza

Santa Cruz is an absolutely integral part of the Paraguay Machine. The only player in their 23 man squad to have scored more than 5 goals, Roque’s work rate and knack for scoring are absolutely essential to their progress

There aren’t many harder workers in World football than Denia Caniza. The diminutive defender’s versatility makes him one of the first names on the team sheet.
