Just spent 5 minutes trying to figure out the best starting eleven possible from the players participating in the cup. Here's my line-up:

Keeper: Peter Cech (Cze)

L Defender: Juan Pablo Sorin (Arg)
C Defender: Allesandro Nesta (Ita)
C Defender: Fabio Cannavaro (Ita)
R Defender: Emmanuel Eboué (Ico)

L Midfield: Fredrik Ljungberg (Swe)
Def Mid: Patrick Viera (Fra)
Att Mid: Ronaldinho (Bra)
R Midfield: Cristiano Ronaldo (Por)

Striker: Thierry Henry (Fra)
Striker: Andrej Sjevtjenko (Ukr)

Subs:
Jan Koller (Cze)
Wayne Rooney (Eng)
Michael Ballack (Ger)
John Terry (Eng)
Gianlugi Buffon (Ita)



Rules are:
4-4-2 system with one attacking and one defensive central defender. Fire away.

stoneburg you're on drugs..

where is robben.. van der sar..

VDS is a good keeper but not the best anymore. No coach would pick him above Buffon or Chezh, in fact I figure Lehman and a few others are better too.

Robben.. I have never liked him and I would rather have Ronaldo, Figo or Ljungberg. Although if I want someone to fall over in the penalty area I guess I'd have to pick Robben or Izaghi.

Not sure where you'd put him. I think on his day he can be the most inspired footballer on the planet just about (look at last year's champion's league final, this year's FA cup final etc) but can you really put him in midfield ahead of the Ronaldinhos, Riquelmes etc of this world?
