Here are the squads of all 32 teams competing at the World Cup.
Each coach can take 23 players from the provisional 30-man list submitted last month.
The only changes allowed now are for injuries and must take place before a team plays their opening match.


GROUP A



Strikingly obvious: France earned their place in South Africa after Thierry Henry's controversial handball against the Republic of Ireland



GROUP B




World's best: Lionel Messi is the finest player on the planet right now



GROUP C



In-form: Wayne Rooney goes into the World Cup off the back of his best ever season with Manchester United



GROUP D



Attack, attack, attack: Germany's Michael Ballack is the cool midfield head in a team packed full of attacking talent


GROUP E



Underachievers: Holland's Robin van Persie (cente), Arjen Robben (right) and Wesley Sneijder are some of the very best in the business



GROUP F



Defending champions: The experienced Italians, led by Fabio Cannavaro, will not give up their crown easily



GROUP G



Samba magic: Brazil are always a crowd favourite and 2010 will be no difference



GROUP H



Buoyed: Fernando Torres and his Spanish team-mates are pre-tournament favourites after their Euro 2008 triumph
