Profile:

Urzaiz has made a stunning impact since bursting onto the international scene in 1996.

Was considered a journeyman striker by many before handed his international debut, but scored six times from three starts and three substitute appearances in qualifying.

Before the squad was announced rumours were abound that Camacho may include him in his starting line-up at the expense of Morientes, the rumours were proved true, his aerial ability giving him the edge over the Real hitman.

After the Norway game, Morientes may feel justified in thinking he should have played. A late substitute against Slovenia.

Came on as sub for Mendieta in the second half against France in the quarter-finals. Had a little less luck than Mendieta in getting through Lizarazu.
