CB: Carvalho (really)
LB: Roberto Carlos

This team would whip any team in the world, or any team you might select

Well, if it's a Real Madrid side two will probably have been sent off for attacking Messi for no apparent reason, so he might be right.

[Aufc]

Theo sneilders

Jason Dair
Shaun dennis
Jimmy sandison
Paul jack

Dave bowman
Forbes johnston
Kenny black
Gordon petric

Kevin Thomas
Marco Negri

That team has goals written all over it.

What do you think?

[Albino Rover]

In a 4-2-1-3:

Iker Casillas

Paolo Maldini
Fabio Cannavaro
Lilian Thuram
Marcos Cafú

Xavi Hernandez
Andres Iniesta
Zinedine Zidane

And for my forward trio: Dennis Bergkamp and Thierry Henry, when they had their legs, with the WC 2002 version of Fat Ron poaching with 9 on his back.

None of the aforementioned teams could cope with a wry Wednesday night in Stoke.

[FC_1919]

Folk not including Messi, ootside!

[banterman86]

Havent had one of these in a while

I was born, as my username suggests, in 86, but i think it may be cheating to include guys like Maradonna,Matheus,Van Basten and so on. My Football "peak" - buying Shooot!,Match and collecting pannini stickers would have been 96-2003(ish)

sooo..

The only two I'm not 100% on are Sammer and Keane.

This thread has reminded me how much I loved Thuram and Maldini, if I could have crowbarred zannetti in there, i would have

[LinkinFighter]

The amount of teams that don't include the greatest player to ever play football is shocking. Messi btw.

The great players prove themselves at World Cups and European Championships. Messi might well one day be the greatest player ever but he's still got a bit to do. That said time is on his side.

Messi just missed out on my team, so did Xavi and Dani Alves from the current Barcelona side.

where is Klose in your team them?

Great players prove themselves at the highest level over a period of longevity. 2 weeks every 2 years does not count.

You sure that those players could line up in that formation

You might need to have a tactical rethink here
