All-South America Vs All-Europe

[F.L.I.P.]

The best team that South America could provide against the best team Europe could provide.

State your teams and who you think would win.

[King Rooney]

this has been done but...............

Europe...

-------------Cech---------

Ferreira--Nesta--Ferdinand--Cole

------------Makelele--------

------Lampard----Gerrard---

Joaquin----------------Robben

---------Shevchenko-------

S.America (?)

------------Dida----------

Zanetti--Samuel--Lucio--Heinze

-----------Emerson--------

---Kaka----Aimar---Ronaldinho

-------Adriano--Ronaldo----


the s.american line up may be wrong but if these teams were to meet, personally i would think that europe would win.

[F.L.I.P.]

Oh my god midfield and attackers for S. America is ruthless

[jrod69]

you cant really say who would win since that depends on how well they work together.
Overall tho :Best South American players>Best European Players

and why is Emerson on there?

to even out makelele's presence

[stevieg987]

I would take europe in an land slide over SA.

My choices . . .

Europe: Diamond formation

Henry Sheva

Deco

Robben Lampard

Pirlo

Zambrotta Terry Nesta Puyol

Buffon

Subs: Ballack, Nedved, Ferdinand, C. Ronaldo, Rosicky, Totti . . .
Puyol will just have to play RB.

S. America: 4-3-3

Adriano Ronaldhino Ronaldo


Juninho Kaka D'Alessandro


Heinze Ayala Samuel Cafu

Dida

Subs: Pizarro, Emerson, Lucio, and too many others to mention.

South America wins comfortably, 2-0 or perhaps 2-1, on the
strength of their ball skills, I'd guess.

---------------Pirlo-------------Lampard

----Joaquin--------------------------------Nedved

---------------------Shevchenko

subs:Cech, Rio, Cole, Ballack, gattuso, Robben, Henry


SA:--------------------Dida

---Cafu--------Lucio-----Ayala-------Heinz-----

--------------Gilberto--------Emerson

-------Kaka------------------------Ronaldinho

-------------Adriano----------Ronaldo

Subs:Cavallero, Zanetti, Samuel, Roman, Aimar, Crespo, Robinho

No idea who would win.

[Sempre]

Only one striker for Europe is a bit unambitious, no? I
also think Joaquin is a year or two off from being one
of Europe's best . . . But it's not a bad line-up.

I had all flair and ball skill in midfield so I see why you've
put the tough Makele there. Other options are Ballack,
Gattuso, or Vieira.

I see Joaquin as the best right win in the world right now. I think there are better wingers: Vicente, Robben, Duff(close)...but not a true right sider, and with Puyol not the best at going forward......his width would be very useful. I like nEdved on the left, because just like at Juventus...he will move inside a lot and Zambrotta will make the overlapping run.

I considered Nedved as the left-footed midfielder, but I'm rather
worried that he's done with soccer. He's not old but that endless
work rate of his is starting to show. He might retire soon . . . It's
hard for me to imagine what Zambrotta and Robben would do on
the left together, but I think it'd be a lot of fun to watch.

[InterIRC4]

Ill go with the South American team
plus look how the south american team is made up of mainly 2 countrys,the players would be already used to playing with each other.

I don't think that S.American line up would do any good, sure there are talented players but they wouldn't function as a team. You have Ronaldinho, kaka, Juninho and D'Alessandro all playing virtually the same position.
Here's my Europe :
Cech
Sagnol Terry Ferdinand Cole

Ballack
Gerrard Lampard Nedved
Henry Scheva

Im happy you put Pizarro in there I would put Solano in there as well for Right Mid but hey I guess Im a bit biased tho Id still take Solano over D'Allesandro , also would put Forlan on the bench

not trying to pick on urs or anythin but how about Rooney , Owen, Makaay instead of Henry and instead of Nedved someone like Reyes (I dunno just my opinion i guess)?

[Ombak]

What has Reyes done lately? Nedved continues to play very well. On top of that, you're adding a third pure striker. I do like the idea of putting Makaay up front though.

For Europe I'd go with:

Cech;
Puyol, Nesta, Gallas, Zambrotta;
Ballack, Gerrad, Lampard;
Nedved;
Makaay, Schevchenko

While for SA I'd go with:

Dida;
Zanetti, Ayala, Lúcio, Heinze;
Mascherano;
Juninho Pernambucano, Kaká;
Robinho, Adriano, Ronaldinho Gaúcho

I put Zanetti and Heinze over Cafu and Roberto Carlos to allow them to play with so many o-mids and Lúcio in the middle of defense.

For Europe, I think Ballack, Gerrard and Lampard would be as formidable a 2-way midfield as anyone could come up with.

[The Potter]

I've never got this love of Gallas am I missing something :confused: I think he has been throughly outperformed by quite a few Prem defenders this season

[Ombak]

I've never got this love of Gallas am I missing something :confused: I think he has been throughly outperformed by quite a few Prem defenders this seasonEven when in the middle of the defense, as opposed to out wide?

[The Potter]

Even when in the middle of the defense, as opposed to out wide?


Yeah. I think he is very complemetry to Terry when they play together but short of his pace I can't really think of anything Gallas has over Terry or Ferdinand for that matter.

I must really be missing something with this guy.

[comme]

Nicephoras is trying to brain wash everyone into thinking that Gallas is the world's best.

He is only just in the top 5 in the Premiership, and even that is questionable.
