Van Persie---------RVN-----------Babel

:cool:

[koolkeith13]

I'm surprised to not see C Ronaldo for Pirlo or even going with Arjen Robben to complement the Dutch front... Ballack, though? Really? Also, Fabregas needs to be in there or on the bench. Rooney might also deserve a look as a CAM. Backup keeper goes to Cech?

[TheBoss84]

To me Germanys starting eleven.

Great wing players(Jansen and Lahm), central defence could use a little bit more practice maybe i would swap out Metztelder but Mertesacker stays.

One of the bes CM duos in the world and very good wing players. Really good strikers wich know each other by heart.


-----Lehmann--------
Lahm---Metzelder(Terry)------Mertesacker-----Jansen


---------------Frings--------Ballack------------------

Schneider--------------------------------Schweinsteiger


----------------Klose---------Podolski-----------------

[jpick]

cl 22

-----------------------cech(casillas)

alves?(miguel)-----nesta(vidic)----mexes(terry)---------zambrotta(abidal)


--------------pirlo (xavi)----------essien(de rossi)

messi (c ronaldo)----------kaka(dinho)--------------eto'o(henry)


-------------------------totti(drogba)



4-2-3-1

in about two years, fabregas and aquilani will have pirlo's and xavi's spots.
henry, i had no where else to put him, so he goes back out wide where he played (not so well admittedly) in the past. yeah, this is biased, so shoot me :)

----------------Klose---------Podolski-----------------

you think almost all of germany's players are the best in europe? :eek: :p.

well, it looks like toni and klose might go ahead of podolski-klose for a more dynamic duo, for one, and they only had one game together!

[TheBoss84]

One good game together?Podolski and Klose play well against sweden both matches, against costa rica against slovakia etc. And i said the best Team. Theres a reason why they are the best Team in the Euro Qualification right now. If you dont like it its not my problem.

[jpick]

well, I didn't expect that strong a response. even if i give you they are the best team in qualifying (i still think man for man france is better, especially if domenech wasn't such as idiot and would call the best players), you don't think anywhere on the pitch you could improve them if you have all the players from europe at your disposal?
I mean, last year milan played great as a team in the cl, i ain't gonna say that if I had all the players cl eligible at my disposal that i wouldn't have switched some of them in a heartbeat.

particularly amusing to me is that for club podolski, toni, and klose all play at bayern, and podolski is most likely the odd man out going forward (it looks like he will be at least, when and if all are healthy), yet you choose podolski still. Seems ludicrously biased (and i'm biased so i know biasness when i see it),
I mean, if i picked a world cup XI from 2006 would i pick all italians cause they won?

[TheBoss84]

Im sorry if you were offended. I wouldnt change anything because it would ruin the great teamplay they have. To me making an ultimate XI is complete nonsense cause they will never will play together or probably will not. As i said not best players but the Team. Ok maybe your right i would pick rooney, toni etc over podolski but right now it is proven that klose and podolski works well i dont see the need of changing that.

And please dont call me biased i was giving my opinion on the best team. And club play doesnt really mean all that much since the NT is a whole different matter and many club players are either underrated or overrated.

Lets keep on with the discussion and sorry if i offended you it was not my intention.

Btw, bartio did the same thing and you didnt tell him anything.

[jpick]

lol, no not offended, no worries. I figured it was given that since this is a hypothetical, we assumed that they would have friendlies and pre-euro training camps to adust to each other. as if they didn't then you would be absolutely correct to just stick with a team as given.

[jpick]

well, bartio trolls england on multiple threads, so i don't respond to trolling posts.

[CDSANTACLARA]

[koolkeith13]

well, I figured if i did a cl team, then i could choose from all the cl clubs only, which includes non-europeans, but excludes players from bayern, etc. :), but most have just done a euro xi :o. yeah, i might think under 25 would be good, but it will be really biased as I know some countries youth teams well, others hardly at all.
