Best XI

One question, two rules.

What is the best starting XI?

Rule 1: Their team has to be playing in the world cup.
Rule 2: You can only choose one player from each country.

Let the debate begin...

  1. I like the 2nd rule. Should make things tougher.

    GK- Howard (USA)
    RB- Maicon (Brazil
    CB- Vidic (Serbia)
    CB- Marquez (Mexico)
    LB- Ashley Cole (England)
    RM- Robben (Netherlands)
    CM- Iniesta (Spain
    CM- Essien (Ghana)
    LM- C. Ronaldo (Portugal)
    F- Messi (Argentina
    F- Drogba (Ivory Coast)

    Best part about this lineup is Iniesta feeding Robben and Ronaldo down the wings, with Essien defending behind them. Marquez is aging, so that was a tough pick, but I couldn't think of any others. Let's see someone else's XI.

    Good team Brian, I had most of them on my squad as well...except Marquez (WTF) that came out of left field.

  3. Yeah dont know what I was thinking- I like your Evra pick, then I could take out Cole and put in Terry at CB for Marquez.

    CB - Vidic - Serbia
    CB - Pique - Spain
    LB - Lahm - Germany
    RM - Ronaldo - Portugal

    Wow Brian Marquez? I can't really accept the "couldn't think of anyone else excuse"... I would say playing with 3 at the back is better than with Marquez.I didn't expect this, not from you.

  5. I'm done defending my indefensible Marquez pick.... Lahm? Has he been relevant since his goal 4 years ago???

    Ribery? "Overrated clap clap clap-clap-clap, Overrated...."

    Scurry is a solid pick. Should be well rested.
