Title: World XI Post by: Doore on Tuesday, August 18, 2009, 23:28:37 Pointless question but did initiate much debate down the pub earlier tonight. Simply name your best team from current players around the world. Not the best 11 players, but construct a team. Took me ages, but my eleven goes:
Casillas Maicon Puyol Lucio Clichy Pirlo Xavi Iniesta Messi Ronaldo Drogba Name your teams people. Title: Re: World XI Post by: Bogus Dave on Wednesday, August 19, 2009, 06:50:19 My knowledge of world football is nowhere near good enough, but i do know that i would have daniel alves in the team over clichy
Title: Re: World XI Post by: Bennett on Wednesday, August 19, 2009, 06:53:39 even though one's a leftback and one's rightback? silly dave
Title: Re: World XI Post by: Bogus Dave on Wednesday, August 19, 2009, 07:00:48 He's THAT good he can play on both sides.
I'd have essien instead of pirlo too Title: Re: World XI Post by: Bennett on Wednesday, August 19, 2009, 07:02:11 you're a madman
Title: Re: World XI Post by: Bogus Dave on Wednesday, August 19, 2009, 07:04:57 The boundary between a madman and a genius is vague at best.

Title: Re: World XI Post by: mexico red on Wednesday, August 19, 2009, 07:33:12 puyol is a fucking liability, too old and past it. Alves is good going forward but a very average defender plus hes a fucking cheat, i would have torres instead of drogba. fabregas instead of pirlo.
Title: Re: World XI Post by: jayohaitchenn on Wednesday, August 19, 2009, 08:10:12 I'd have the current world champions - Spain.
EDIT. Obviously I meant European champoins :oops: Title: Re: World XI Post by: strooood on Wednesday, August 19, 2009, 08:41:15 Lucio? He's average. In fact your defence is rather average all round. I'm disgusted Doore.
Title: Re: World XI Post by: Nomoreheroes on Wednesday, August 19, 2009, 09:14:51 How about:

Title: Re: World XI Post by: mexico red on Wednesday, August 19, 2009, 11:06:00 he needs a haircut to get in my team.
Title: Re: World XI Post by: Arriba on Wednesday, August 19, 2009, 11:07:56 fussy cunt
Title: Re: World XI Post by: mexico red on Wednesday, August 19, 2009, 11:13:10 my team would have to be good looking and sharply dressed. patrik berger would be captain, hes a dreamboat.
Title: Re: World XI Post by: STFCDude3 on Wednesday, August 19, 2009, 11:33:37 he needs a haircut to get in my team. Rules out David Ginola then :D Title: Re: World XI Post by: sonicyouth on Wednesday, August 19, 2009, 11:46:58 Jon Knudsen

Title: Re: World XI Post by: Reg Smeeton on Wednesday, August 19, 2009, 15:57:09 I'm sure there's a few more, that would fit into that team...like Sid Swinden...who actually played for us.
Sadly Dwight never played for York, like Julian Darby never played for Derby, or so far Leon Barnett for Barnet. None of the Charltons for Charlton or Alan Sunderland for the Mackems. Wayne or Clarke Carlisle have never been on the staff at Brunton Park to my knowledge, or Frank Boulton, or Joe Bolton never featured for the Trotters. George Berry will always be remembered fondly by Town fans for a showing of rare ineptitude at Selhurst for the Pikeys.

I take it your team would be very attacking, what with no goalkeeper? Guess you would have to put Dublin between the sticks, as I seem to recall him being an emergency keeper in the past?Sadly Dwight never played for York, like Julian Darby never played for Derby, or so far Leon Barnett for Barnet.

NMH I did notice the lack of a keeper....I suppose Jon Sheffield would do. Did you know he was the first man to wear a number 40 shirt in Premier League history?
