Touchy, Touchy

Well then, I guess there is a limit to how many times you can ask Luis Aragones about Raul's absence from the Spanish national time. There's no doubt that the Real Madrid captain is currently in cracking form, partnering Ruud van Nistelrooy to lead los Merengues to the top of the table.

Aragones' answer to the Raul question was absolutely classic: "How many European Championships and World Cups have we won with Raul?"

When you wear a Raul mask and ask why Spain's second-leading cap winner isn't in the squad, you're probably guaranteed to get a similar response from Aragones. Check out the video.
