Terry, Puyol, and Marquez? Are you kidding me? Try Cannavaro, Thuram, and Lahm.

All five of your midfielders are wrong, too. Try Zidane, Ribery, Pirlo, Maxi Rodriguez, and Schweinsteiger.

I’ll go for Henry as a striker, but Sheva? Please. Try Klose.

Thanks for the laughs!

Lampard? surely the most overated midfielder in the english premiership let alone the world. Only looks good because he never has to defend for Chelsea. His place in this team should’ve gone to Gerrard to provide balance as well as the fact that he is a way better player

This is how the midfield should have looked like: Ronaldinho, makelele, Gerrard, Ballack. The forwards seem to be perfect.

I don’t want to bitch or anything, but it would’ve been better to do it by position:

GK, CD (x2), LB, RB, DM, OM, LW, RW, F (x2)

… just my 2 cents

There is only central defenders. No RB or LB, hehe. There is no defensive midfielder too.

I would like to see this team playing. Too bad Zidane, Adriano and Ronaldo didn’t make it.
