GK: Neuer RB: Maggio CB: Vidic CB: Kompany LB: Bale RM: Ronaldo CM: Tiote CM: Schneiderlin LM: Snejider ST: Messi ST: Lorente Great variation on the XL theme
My revised team= GK:Buffon (Juve, Italy) RB:Lahm(Bayern, Germany) CB:Thiago Silva(Milan, Brazil) CB:Vidic(United, Serbia) LB:Alba(Valencia, Spain) CM:Modric(Spurs, Croatia) CM:Y. Toure(City, Ivory Coast) CM:Sneijder(Inter, Holland) RW:Messi(Barca, Argentina) ST:Falcao(A. Madrid, Columbia) LW:Ronaldo(Madrid, Portugal)
GK: Lloris LB: Cole CB: Vidic CB: Kompany RB: Lahm CM: Modric CDM: Rossi CM: Sneijder RW: Messi ST: Zlatan LW: Ronaldo
A bit less current than all of the above Yashin - Russia Maldini - Italy Charles - Wales Beckenbauer - Germany McGrain - Scotland Best - Ireland Neeskens - Holland Charlton - England Messi - Argentina Pele - Brazil Eusabio - Portugal
Best went to Fulham!!! No you are right. Maybe Platini (he could also make the world's worst administrators 11).
Current GK Cech RB Lahm LB Bale CB Vidic CB Thiago Silva DM Yaya Toure CM Hamsik CM De Rossi RW Ronaldo CF Van Persie LW Messi Past GK Schmeichel RB Thuram LB Maldini CB Moore CB Beckenbauer RM Best CM Di Stefano CM Cruyff LM Hagi RF Maradona LF Pele
------------Buffon---------- --Lahm--Vidic--Kompany---Cole--- -------Y.Toure----M'Villa -----Modric--Zlatan--Messi ------------Ronaldo----------------
Schmeichel & Best? Cruyff & Hagi? Moore & Best A past/present 11 encompassing every club in a players career is a challenge for the football geeks.

In a similar vein to the great thread that OddRiverOakWizards did yesterday, how about the best Squad (XI + bench) you can make with 1 player from each squad at the euros? We'll say the subs have to be 1 keeper 1 defender 2 midfielders 1 striker. Here's mine: GK: Cech (Czech Rep) LB: Cole (England) CB: Chiellini (Italy) CB: Kjaer (Denmark) RB: Debuchy (France) CM: Xavi (Spain) CM: Modric (Croatia) CM: Ozil (Germany) LW: Robben (Holland) RW: Ronaldo (Portugal) ST: Ibrahimovic (Sweden) Sub GK: Given (Ireland) Sub D: Tymoshchuk (Ukraine) Sub M: Karagounis (Greece) Sub M: Dzagoev (Russia) Sub S: Lewandowski (Poland) Bent the rules slightly by putting Tymoshchuk in defence but he does play there for Bayern sometimes and the other option was to pick another Ukrainian or Greek defender - not a good idea! Also should state that I picked the team based on ability, not necessarily on form (hence Givens inclusion)
Greece - Papasthopulous Poland - Lewandowski Czech Republic - Cech Russia - Dzagoev Germany - Lahm Portugal - Ronaldo Holland - Sneijder Denmark - Agger Spain - Ramos Italy - Chiellini Croatia - Modric Ireland - Given England - Cole France - M'Vila Sweden - Ibrahimovic Ukraine - Shevchenko Goalkeepers: Cech Given Defenders: Cole Chiellini Lahm Agger Papasthopoulous Midfielders: Modric Dzagoev Sneijder M'Vila, Blazacoywski, Iniesta Strikers: Shevchenko, Ibrahimovic Ronaldo Cech Lahm Agger Chiellini Cole M'Vila Modric Sneijder Iniesta Ibrahimovic Ronaldo Bench: Given, Papasthopoulus, Dzagoev, Blazacoywski, Shevchenko
