PLAYER: Carlos Gamarra (D)
CLUB: Palmeiras (Brazil)
GROUP OPPONENTS: England, Sweden, Trinidad & Tobago
Gamara had a successful 1998 World Cup when he was named to the tournament’s all-star team. Now 35, “El Colorado” is the most experienced player in Paraguayan history (104 international caps). A young forward is what Gamarra felt was missing from Paraguay’s last two World Cup trips, and now Gamarra has gotten his wish in the form of 22-year-old Nelson Valdez.
Did you know: Gamarra was voted the best defender of the ’98 World Cup. This is especially impressive because he did not commit a single foul in Paraguay’s four games.
