All time World XI

[Asterix]

Guv has got me going now - try this one out - all time World XI in any formation but you can only pick one player per country - no Pele Ronaldo forward lines.

My first go -

Schmeichel

Salgado Moore Beckenbauer Maldini

Keane

Figo Zidane Cruyff

Pele Maradona


I think right back is my weak point. Any suggestions?

 

[brianfrance]

The whole 1998' french defense was the best ever seen IMO

 

[Asterix]

I know - they were good - even with Le Bouef!! :shock:

But I had to have Zizou, so no Thuram or Desailly for me.

 

[S_McKenzie]

platini ? :shock:

SCHIEMICIEL

SALGADO MOORE BECKENBUEAR MALDINI

KEANE

ZIDANE CRUYFF

MARADONA

PELE VAN BASTEN

Only 1 per country, Pele's already there.

 

[stevieboy2k]

Dalglish,Keegan,Clemence,Hughes?

 

[Canuck]

See, it's just too many for me to narrow down to XI.

Well, theres too many so i start by shortlisting, this is all players, not just one from each country:

keepers: zoff, seaman, banks, yashin

defenders: moore, pearce, maldini, beckenbaur,adams, nesta (cant think of many at all)

midfielders: ronaldinho, zidane, gurincha, maradona, gazza, charlton, cryuff, rivaldo, keane

strikers: ronaldo, pele, van bastin, platini, rivelino, linekar, bergkamp, stoichkov, romario, baggio, henry.

My all time 11 =

--------------yashin

------------beckenbaur

-----moore maldini pearce


------gazza zidane cruyff

--------------maradona

---------pele romario


My all time 11 with 1 from each team =

yashin (USSR)
moore (ENG)
maldini (ITA)
beckenbaur (GER)
Figo (POR)
zidane (FRA)
maradona (ARG)
cruyff (HOL)
keane (IRL)

shevchenko (UKR)

**** thats hard, but not a bad team, spain really havent had any great great players have they.

Platini's not a striker

You sure about that one?

 

[pimple]

You sure about that one?

Platini was an attacking midfielder/support striker. Not the main striker.

 

[pimple]

defenders: moore, pearce, maldini, beckenbaur,adams, nesta (cant think of many at all)

Baresi?

You also forget one Ruud Gullit and Eusebio. Not to mention players like Dunga and George Weah, too.

[Asterix]

See - none of you could follow the rules - you all took the lazy way out!!

Very disappointed class!! :roll:



You could put Cafu in at right back and Shevchenko up frint to complement Maradona (wow - nice team), but that means no Pele, and you can't have the all time best world XI without the world's best ever player. Can you?

Cheers fella, i remembered gullit when i was making the team with only one from each, but i already had cruyff, didnt think to put him in my squad for the first team i made. Also how can i forget eusebio and weah, just too many top players
