My team:
GK: Stekelenburg

Strikers: Torres, van Persie
Is Van Persie fit?Not Again0 -
Oddly enough I had just started watching "The World's Greatest Players" freebie DVD that came with the Sunday Times when I read your comment. Here's their top 20 players if you need some inspiration to pick a team:oldMcDonald wrote: »How about those of us that know nothing about football?

20. Buffon (GK, Italy)
19. Villa (Fw, Spain)
18. Cole (Df, England)
17. Lahm (Df, Germany)
16. Ribery (Md, France)
15. Maicon (Df, Brazil)
14. Robben (Md, Netherlands)
13. Essien (Md, Ghana)
12. Gerrard (Md, England)
11. Schneider (Md, Netherlands)
10. Iniesta (Md, Spain)
9. Casillas (Gk, Spain)
8. Lucio (Df, Brazil)
7. Torres (Fw, Spain)
6. Drogba (Fw, Ivory Coast)
5. Kaka (Md, Brazil)
4. Xavi (Md, Spain)
3. Ronaldo (Fw, Portugal)
2. Rooney (Fw, England)
1. Messi (Fw, Argentina)
The only blatant omission from this list, imho, is Milito the Argentina forward who won Inter Milan the Champions League. However, Maradona really doesn't like Milito so he'll probably be on bench warming duty in South Africa."The state is the great fiction by which everybody seeks to live at the expense of everybody else." -- Frederic Bastiat, 1848.0 -

Well he spends all day running up and......oh, I see what you mean.
Probably although he's not really my type. Some say he looks like a younger version of me only not as good looking. I don't see it myself.0 -

Are the points awarded just on goals made. Im thinking since England is in an easy group then two england strikers to start would be best and so on0
