ok guys, this is an all-time BEST soccer team, not your preferred team etc etc

I'm doing this for a statistics class.

So,
-->Starting Lineup must be a 4-4-2 formation.

-->You can pick a reserve for each position (1 gk, 1 defender, 1 midfielder, 1 attacker)

-->Players must play in their natural positions, though there can be some judgement calls (i.e. some players could be considered attackers others attacking mids etc)

-->State your nationality

-->Pick an age group:
1) 0-19
2) 20-29
3) 30-45
4) 46-60
5) 60+

You can edit your posts if you remember a player later on, but if you do edit, make sure to make a post in Bold so that I'll notice the part you edited http://xperteleven.com/images/icon10.gif
