Title: Current World XI
Post by: Colin Todd on Wednesday, February 20, 2008, 12:38:00
The arguement over who is world class at the moment go me thinking about what my current world XI would be

I'd go for:

Code:

                        Buffon

 Sergio Ramos     Cannavarro     Vidic      Zambrotta

                          Gattuso

    Kaka                   Gerrard                Messi

                   C Ronaldo

                                Drogba




Subs
Cech
Ferdinand
Rooney
Essien
Etoo

That formation is only rough as to be honest I'd let the attacking midfield players do whatever the fuck they wanted they are that good

and if you dont agree ,  pick your own sides!  I'm not stating that its fact

Casillas

Alves  Carvalho  Ramos  Chivu
           
           Gattuso   M Diarra

  C.Ronaldo    Kaka     Messi
                     
                     Torres

Buffon

Zambrotta
Alves
Cannavaro
Nesta

Essien
Gattuso

Messi
Kaka
Cristiano Ronaldo

Ibrahimovic

Not the best eleven players in the World, but probably the best team you could make. All the creative players in some of these teams would just get beaten up.

Bench (7):
Casillas
Ramos
Vidic
Robinho
Pirlo
Mascherano
Rooney

I agree, and we've picked similar teams, but your to centre halves would let this team down i think

that's a fucking world class midfield thats for sure.

imagine playing against them  :shock:
if it wasn't the skill of Messi, Kaka or Ronaldo that'd do you, Gattuso and Essien would then kick you to bits

Post by: Matchworn Shirts on Wednesday, February 20, 2008, 15:32:56
Franck Ribéry and Luca Toni would have to be in there if we are looking at the best players at the moment.

I can see this thread will annoy me. So i'd have to go for some kind of stupid line up, purely for the sake of it being interesting to watch this team play.

Code:


                                                 Cech

                                        Ferdinand       Vidic






                        Ronaldo                 Gerrard              Messi
                             |       Rooney       Kaka        Henry     |
                             \/           Torres        Ibrahimovic    \/

they are all right sided


Title: Current World XI
Post by: Barry Scott on Wednesday, February 20, 2008, 16:11:00
Many of them can occupy the left though? Certainly in my team anyway, but then there isn't really a left, just a goal and 8 people all trying to score! :D

Just tried to provide some positional sense, to some degree. I'd like to play them in kind of a flat front 7 with Stevie G following in. :D It'd be like watching Sunday league, but funny, crazy and mindless non the less.

i dont watch enough world football to make a fair judgement.
i have noted the lack of south american players picked. there would be a few in a worlds best team for sure.

I've gone for an over rated World XI, haven;'t given it much though and was struggling a little, so apologies if certain players not in correct position.

GK - Dida
LB - Roberto Carlos
CB - Zebina
CB - Rigobert Song
LM - Harry Kewell
CM - Edgar Davids
CM - Mikel John Obi (slightly harsh)
RM - Diouf
CF - Raul
CF - Inzaghi

Does anyone actually rate Harry Kewell?And Rio should definitely be in there I reckon

Post by: janaage on Wednesday, February 20, 2008, 17:40:31
That's a good point Adje, I think I started that list as a piss take, then changed my mind to a over rated XI half way through!!

As should Lampard. the worlds deepest lying striker, who has little other use

and Ibrahimovic.  Is it just me or has anyone else never seen him have a good game?   his record means he's clearly not shit but he's always usless when i have watched him.
