updates i know :
Oliver Kahn wont play, reason : (The reason for the German keeper's absence is that he was made to wait over an hour to receive his World Player of the Year runner-up prize because of the winner, Real's Ronaldo, who was stuck in traffic.)

Alex Nesta & Alex Del Piero wont play either...

they should be playing tonite i guess?
