Your World XI

[tattooedswan]

Casillas

Maicon Puyol Lucio Evra

Iniesta Xavi

Ronaldo Messi

Villa Drogba

The perfect blend of pace on the wings and full backs, a power defence, passing through the midfield, class, power and predatory instincts up front. The performance of Casillas at the World Cup pushed me to select him. I personally couldn't think of another team devised from World Football that would even challenge this team, try me

Nice DM.... oh wait.

Damn you're right, I forgot to put Song in.

Nah, Biscuits. But seriously it's not a realistic world XI without a dm.

 

[apollo_creed]

Only one that's laughable is Puyol. Others are debatable but only that.

Got away with a lot at the World Cup (fouling peope when caught out for pace/making mistakes) and he simply isn't deserved of the spot you've given him.

Casillas

Maicon Vidic Lucio Lahm

Is it possible to make one post without being hopelessly biased to towards German football?

Is it possible?

 

[Crimson King]

Drogba > Dzeko.

Seriously, the Drog is in some form right now.

Lahm is far superior to Evra. Schweinsteiger and Xavi are similar but Schweinsteiger has been better in the past year. Dzeko is unbelievable. You never watch Wolfsburg so you have no idea.

 

[Dagger5]

Cole and Evra > Lahm
Diddy >>> Dzeko
Xavi (He may be a w***er but he is the best CM in the world) >>> Schweinsteiger.

 

[apollo_creed]

Unbelievably you favour the Germans and coincedentally the same rings true in everything you post.

Seriously mate - learn to post objectively because it's a tiresome routine where you come in time after time with the same gig.

We get it but it's time for some new material.

 

[r dub 19]

I'd have Cesc (call it bias, but he is better in the final third) and essien in central midfield.

Cole and Evra > Lahm
Diddy >>> Dzeko
Xavi (He may be a w***er but he is the best CM in the world) >>> Schweinsteiger.

HAHAHAHAHA. Cole is absolute rubbish not even in the top 10 left backs in the world. Evra was better a few years ago than now. How did he go at the world cup? Terrible. Dzeko plays in a worse team than Drogba does and scores just as many goals. Xavi is good but so is Schweinsteiger. Schweinsteiger has been enormous the last 12 months.

And you favour EPL. What's the difference? Bundesliga has overtaken Serie A and is coming for the top 2. In 20 years it will be number 1.

Who do you think are the top 10 left backs in the world, weagles?

No change there then.

Gooooooood lol

Fnar.

I don't know what that means but honestly someone who says Ashley Cole is rubbish isn't worth conversing with.

I'd have

Maicon, Pique, El Not Sure, Cole/Evra

Either way, Cole and Evra have been two brilliant, consistent performers (both have had brilliant careers) and I think they are the two clear standouts in their position. As would alot of people.

Seriously Weagles Fan. Your gig was up a long time ago.
Other people try and be objective but you just play in your own little world in this land of make believe football. Can you play those games in your own mind and not pen your thoughts in a public forum where other people have to waste their time reading them?

Probably Lucio next to Pique but still not sure.

 

[belfast_bomber]

'Fnar' is a laugh noise. It's the noise my head made when you accused someone else of lack of objectivity.

I do agree that anyone who doesn't think Ashley Cole is a quality footballer isn't worth the time of day.

 

[ObaMartins]

Strong lack of Messi there spud.

 

[belfast_bomber]

Strong lack of Messi there spud.

------- Messi -------------------------------------- Robben --------

So you're suggesting he picks him twice?
