I could beat anybody with this team. I'm picking for role/fit as well as individual brilliance. ST: Samuel E'too (Barca/Cameroon) FW: Didier Drogba (Chelsea/Cote D'Ivoire) CAM: Ronaldinho (Barca/Brazil) LW: Arjen Robben (Chelsea/Netherlands) RW: Cristiano Ronaldo (ManU/Portugal) CDM: Emerson (Real Madrid/Brazil) LB: Gianlucca Zambrotta (Barca/Italy) RB: Willie Sagnol (Bayern/France) LCB: Carlos Puyol (Barcelona/Spain) RCB: Fabio Cannavarro (Inter/Italy) GK: Peter Cech (Chelea/Czech Republic) Robben isn't as good as some of these other players but on the left he'd fit a good role. Drogba, since 2006, has quite simply been the best and most consistent forward in the world, IMO. E'too would be a good complement to Drogba's strength. Ronaldhino and Carlos Ronaldo need no explanation. Emerson was a close selection over Gennaro Gattuso, Gilberto Silva, or Claude Makalele. Zambrotta and Sagnol are probably better on defense than offense which is fine for this team. (not that many big name right backs, btw) Central Defense - there's about 6 guys (Terry, Ferdinand, Marquez, Caravalho, etc.) with a claim for this one. And Cech is the best GK in the world, IMO.
Its actually Christiano.... Id go with Terry at the back instead of Cannavaro and Gattuso instead of Emerson....Prolly wudnt change anything else....
Great list, but I don't really understand why to have both Drogba and Eto'o in the team. Eto'o is just so pure scorer that you wouldn't need anyone like Drogba. 'Dinho shoots a lot of goals, so the offense would still be really effective. I'd also replace Cech with Casillas.
ST: Kylie Minogue FW: Adriana Lima CAM: Alessandra Ambrosio LW: Angelina Jolie RW: Kate Beckinsale CDM: Alica Keys LB: Charlize Theron RB: Salma Hayek LCB: Ayumi Hamasaki RCB: Elizabeth Hurley GK: Me
Well I hate 1-striker formations, plus Drogba is taller, strong as an ox and good with his head. He's like a big battering ram up front. His play dating back to around January 2006 to the present has been pretty sick, he's probably had more goals in all competitions than anyone. Plus he's having his best season next to another superstar pure scorer (Shevchenko) so I thnk he would flourish.
Márquez leading the middle of the defense. There's no question about it. I am NOT being a Mexican ethnocentrist here, but I don't think anyone else has his defensive skill. I think your list is somewhat accurate, SamFisher, with the exception of having Ilker Casillas on the goalposts.
I don't know who the best 11 players in the world would be, but this is my Starting 11 of Players I Like for One Reason or Another: GK: Ricardo LB: Scott Chipperfield CB: Fabio Cannavaro CB: John Terry RB: Emmanuel Eboué LM: Tomáš Rosický CM: Aliaksandr Hleb CM: Claude Makélélé RM: Aaron Lennon CF: Thierry Henry CF: Peter Crouch
I still had no idea what we were talking about after this post, so I pulled out my dictionary - but I found no English entry titled 'futbol'.
How do you leave Eissen off the team? I would take him over Emerson...he's probably the best all round player in the world at this point in time, he's only 23
Yes, 'we'. Here's a transcript of this very thread, in case you missed it: And you, sir... This is the part where I say something argumentative in response to your insult. But you probably didn't understand my post in the first place...and I'm a better man than I once was. So I choose to abstain. Have a nice day.
