Post what you think is the strongest lineup for your fav. NT

[Jon Pall]

I'm especially interested in seeing what Germany and Portugal fans post.

I'll do Brazil and the Netherlands

Brazil
-----------------Ronaldo
--------Kaka--------------Ronaldinho
-----------------Diego
--------Ze Roberto/Silva-----Kleberson

R.Carlos------Alex-----Lucio--------Mancini/Cafu

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

Juninho Pernambucano, Gilberto Silva, Adriano (Parma), and Rivaldo would all be worthy selections as well.

Dutch

---------------------Ruud
----------Van der Vaart

Overmaars--------Sneijder---------Van der Meyde

----------Davids------------Van Bommel

---------Cocu-------Staam-----Bouma

--------------------Van der Saar

would like to throw in Makaay to!!

Howard
Pope Bocanegra Berhalter
Klein Reyna O'Brien Armas Beasley
Donovan McBride

[Sildegil]

---- Henry - Trezeguet ----

---- Viera --- Makelele ----

Lizarazu - Desailly - Gallas - Thuram

--------- Frey ------------

or

------- Trezeguet ---------

-------- Zidane -----------

---- Viera --- Makelele ----

Lizarazu - Desailly - Gallas - Thuram

--------- Frey -------------

Hesitation for GK : Barthez, Coupet or Frey

Hesitation for CB pair : Desailly, Silvestre, Gallas, Mexes, Boumsong, Thuram (with Sagnol on the right back pos) ...

[afgrijselijkheid]

do you mean excluding current injuries or not?

[Jon Pall]

injuries are irrelavent. Strongest possible lineup excluding injuries.

[Quaresma]

portugal:


.....................ricardo............................
.....................caravalho....................
...p ferriera.......................j. andrade....
....................Tiago.............................
quaresma...................................figo....
.............deco..........r costa.........
....................ronaldo.........................
...................pauleta........................


hesitation for DM..tiago..said to be the next davids by many spanish...or costinha of porto..maniche who has juventus after him or necastles Hugo viana...

also..with defence...ricarod caravalho is wanted by real madrid and roberto carlos said paulo ferriera is one of the ebst right backs in the world..i've only seen him play once..agiant real and he stopped all the players comin throuhg on his side..j andrade from deportivo la corunha..either him or fernado meira from stuggart..

[Jon Pall]

Wow, thats a very offensively minded Portuguese lineup. Looks pretty dangerous too. I wonder about the defense though.

Spain are a bit like England really. Always promise and expectance, but no deliverance. Before every major tournament people believe they can really win it. And then what? Disappointment. Then four years later, its the same thing.

Blasphemy!!!! You and I both know there is an ORANJE storm rising that will sweep through all of Europe. Noone will stand in their way.

BTW, don't you think Van Bommel should be given a place. He and Davids could do very well together in the D-mid.
