    Best XI for players who never won the following award.

    FIFA World Player of the Year
    FIFA World Cup Golden Ball Awards
    European Player of the Year ("Ballon d'Or")
    South American Player of the Year(Rey del Fútbol de América)



    -----------------Banks------------------
    DJ Santos-------Moore----Barsei------Maldini
    Garrincha-----Walter---Neeskens----Riverlino
    --------------Kocsis--------Puskus------

    Bansk got the keeper spot because Yashin won "Ballon d'Or". The defense was easy. Nilton Santos was the only player I ever considered on the team.

    I have problems with the left midfield spot. I thought of putting Schiaffino or Gento over there. I also considered Didi for the central midfield spot.

    For forwards, I am not comfortable with Kocsis. I only thought of Kubala as the other choice.

    Neeskens on the left, Davids on the right, Kluivert as a rightwinger?

    I'd rather have this:

    --------------------Hesp

    --Reiziger---Koeman--F. de Boer---Bogarde
    ------------------Neeskens
    -------R. de Boer---------------Cocu
    -Cruijff-----------------------------Overmars
    -------------------Kluivert

    Bogarde in his best days was better then van Bronckhorst, midfield needs creativity so I choose R. de Boer over Davids and Cruijff in a free role with Kluivert getting the balls ready for Overmars and Cruijff to make their runs.

    I just posted the best 11 in my opinion, and let michels work the magic.

    Are there any other clubs where you can form an entire team with foreigners from the same country?

    Did you look at post 125? I've created a Cagliari XI full of Uruguayan internationals.

    -- I tried to do a Best XI for Black Europeans(active players). However, I could not find an active keeper and the code of the team is from the 2004-05 Arsenal -- Vieria, Cole, Campbell and Henry. Anyone wants to take a go.

    Why is Roberto Carlos in this team? He didn't do much with Inter Milan. It would be like putting Bergkamp in that team.

    Name one foreigner that strengthened his career at Inter? And don't say Adriano, because he's about to have a horrible season.

    I checked that Bergkamp scored eight goals in the 1993-94 UEFA Cup. All this talk that I've heard about Bergkamp not being happy in Italy. I wouldn't put Bergkamp in that squad anyway. There have been other players who have achieved more and have played better than Bergkamp in the Serie A.

    It's not Bergkamp, I will say Adriano and what makes you think that he will have a horrible season? Have you seen a fortune teller? By the way, would you consider Ronaldo's or Zamorano's days at Inter to be crap? :confused:

    One thing is for certain, Inter ruin a lot more careers than builds them.

    Roberto Carlos was good with Inter that season, and they were stupid to sell him off. He was young. Name another trusted foreign left-back who played in Italy. Taribo West? :D

    Murry
    Gallas Campbell Bramble Cole
    SWP Viera Makalele N'Zogbia
    Henry Asamoah

    Matt Murry who plays for Wolves was the best black keeper I could think of.

    Gerald Asamoah was the only other black european I could think of.

    Anyone is welcome to improve it.
