----------Henry------Shevchenko Nedved-------Ronnaldinho------Zidane ---------------Davids---------------- Zambrotta--Nesta--Ferdinand--Gallas ----------------Buffon--------------- Okay.... Due to Davids being at Dmid and Nesta and Ferdinand behind him the fullbacks Zambrotta and Gallas push very far forward and Nedved plays like he usually does for Juve, cutting in from the wing and Ronnie mirrors him from the other side... Zizou works magic from midfield... Brotta and Gallas advance down wings and swing crosses enter box on runs etc. Bench... Viera, Pires, Totti, Maldini, Toldo

..............Canizares................. Salgado.......Puyol.........Maldini........Roberto Carlos Luis Figo.........Zidane...........Vieira..........Ronaldinho .............Ronaldo.............Henry............. Can't for the life of me understand why anybody can leave out Maldini.
I was thinking "cant for the life of me understand not picking Nesta" I must also add Rosicky gets Zidane's space in my earlier team... well, no Totti gets Zidane's spot and Rosicky moves to bench, but he deserves a spot... Also, Thuram is past his best... not a world beater anymore... Puyol is a midget and should not be playing CB outside of Spain where he will occasionally encounter strikers taller than Saviola...
Height is not normally a prerequisite for fullbacks. Anyway ---------Buffon -Cafu Nesta Maldini Carlos Beckham Keane Nedved Giggs -------Henry Ronaldo
--------Casillas Cafu---Stam----RCarlos --------Davids Kaka---Zidane---Nedved ------Ronaldinho ---Ronaldo-----Totti Bench: Henry Buffon Raul Nesta Viera
GK - Casillas D - Puyol, R. Carlos, Nesta M - Zidane, Nedved, Ronaldinho, Ballack, Pirlo F - Henry, Ronaldo
GK - Buffon LB - Maldini CB - Terry CB - Poyol RB - Cafu LM - Nedved CM - Viera CM - Zidane RM - Beckham AM - Ronaldinho CF - Henry
Too many people have Puyol in the center of defence... it just cant work... he is too short for it.. great tackler but will get abused by tall strikers.. this is not spain... and Cafu and R. Carlos playing as RCB and LCB is a joke, especially with Nedved and Kaka on the wings, not enough defense in that team...
GK - Buffon, Sub - Canizares, Defenders - Puyol, Gallas, Terry, Maldini, Sub - Carlos, Midfielders - Beckham, Viera, Pirlo, Nedved, Subs - Kaka, Zidane, Forwards - Henry, Ronaldo, Subs - Ronaldinho (terry and gallas get the places because as a unit there are second to none) (midfield would be a 3 with nedved infront moving from left to right)
