Okay, I was thinking of posting this in the World Cup thread but it's not really about the World Cup.

Anyway, what would your dream team be? What would your perfect XI be?
Or, what adjustments/replacements would you make with your current favourite team?

For my perfect XI I'd have a 3-4-3 formation.

Goalkeeper:
Mark Schwarzer. (I had to!)
[Jens Lehmann probably as 1st reserve, Dida as 2nd reserve and Petr Cech as 3rd reserve ]

Forwards:
Frank Lampard
Djibriel Cisse
Thierry Henry

Midfield:
Harry Kewell
Steve Gerrard (!!)
Christiano Ronaldo
Zenadine (?) Zidane.

Defense:
John Terry
Roberto Carlos
Cafu

Oh and with Liverpool ... I don't really have a problem with them.
But probably instead of Dudek or Reina I'd have Lehmann in as keeper.

too bad Zinedine Zidane is quitting after the World Cup

and i'm actually surprised you didn't put Ronaldo, Ronaldihno or one of those on your team.

Do I have to?

I'm not really fond of Brazilians. It's kind of obvious someone would've probably put Ronaldinho or Ronaldo as Forward or Midfield. But nup, I'm different, I thought I'd go for the classics.

Not too classic though ... like Pele, Maradona, Eusebio, Roger Milla or something like that.

By the way, you can put anyone you want.

i have to think about but what about Christiano Ronaldo? he's not brazilian. i just feel that everyone is supporting Brazil and thinks they are the best, thats why i was surprised.

Hmm.. well continue to be surprised. Underdogs own.

My God, I can't believe I forgot Christiano.
I'll have to edit.

football my arse

My XI team would be A 4 4 2 formation and would include the following players Goalkeeper Dida

Defenders
John Terry Ashley cole Roberto Carlos Carles puyol

Midfielders
Harry Kewell steven Gerrard Frank lampard Christiano ronaldo

Forwards

Ronaldinho Wayne Rooney

Okay, I'll football your arse.



Great pick Dr Peppers!

You'll get one from me later today. I have to think about it.

Somehow I knew this thread would attract you and you'd have a long, hard think about it.

i would make a team up, if i knew enough about the game to.
if you ask me about any other code, i could answer it

i dont like soccer football what ever you wanna call it i rather cricket or the australian v8 supercars they rule

Wow. I'm sure that's way more thrilling than football.

Goalkeeper:
Jens Lehmann

Defense:
Robert Huth
Arne Friedrich
Phillipp Lahm
Cafu
Jens Nowotny

Midfield:
Michael Ballack
Frank Lampard
Sebastian Schweinsteiger

Forwards:
Wayne Rooney
Lukas Podolski

theyre good....so is rugby league, afl and rugby union???

Wow, I noticed alot of Germans in that mix. But good choices.
Great choice with the keeper.

i don't like football..
it's a stupid game.. only few guys running around and truying to
catch a freaking ball..
i don't undestend how so many ppl like that shit..


well, i guess you like it so....

ENJOY !

It's not only what you physically see.

It's the excitement and thrill it brings of watching your favourite team win.

you really like lehmann, right?

Oh definately. Why do you ask? He's one of the best keepers around.

I guess he does. Lehmann is a great keeper. The best one at the moment.

i haven't watched European football that much, so i mostly know about Norwegian players. who sucks when you compare them to other countries

Probably the only reason I'm gonna back Germany if Australia gets knocked out. Lehmann.

Other back up teams include Argentina, Iran, Italy and Portugal.

Goalkeeper:
Ricardo

Forwards:
Thierry Henry
Ronaldo
Rooney

Midfield:
Steve Gerrard
Christiano Ronaldo
Zeinadine Zidane
Ronaldihno

Defense:
Roberto Carlos
Cafu
Rio Ferdinand

This is one of the best threads ever.
I have to think hard before I post my dream team though

cause i'm german and i think he's the only outstanding player we have... he really gives me hope lol

Dont forget mark Schwarzer

just dont forget Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Fredrik Ljungberg and Henke Larsson

And Oliver Kahn? He's a great keeper too.

watching your favourite team win, when you never seen them play??
thats exactly what i'm watching the world cup for..
i love that excitement, even if i dont get the game

Hehe of course I won't! I'm not sure about Zlatan though

what? he's a great player! i think he's better than Fredrik Ljungberg, he is like the swedish David Beckham (although he is more attractive)

I'd never forget Schwarzer my dear boy.



Someone put Ibrahimovic on their list ... please.
Don't forget Shevchenko either.



Yes, but I wouldn't compare him to Lehmann at the moment. If you like you can view my Lehmann vs Kahn video I made.

Lehmann vs Kahn

I was careful not to be biased. (sp?)

I was reading this and thinking American Football In the US you hardly even see any of the soccer games on tv.

Milan Baros is also a great player. it all comes back to me now!

and i have to mention: Luis Figo, my hero.

Figo plays for Portugal, doesn't he?

I get confused between him and Raul, who plays for Spain.

Portugal's very lucky to have Ronaldo with them.

youre not bias....

but Schwarzer is a god

Figo plays for Portugal yes, i think he is the main reason i started cheering for them. silly reason, i know. but they do have some great players. but they would be nothing without Figo and Ronaldo.

I actually prefer Freddie!

Nah, I don't like Shevchenko.

You guys, I can't make my list full of Swedes, as much as I'd like to

Dont forget Steven Gerrard everyone

Did everyone watch the Aus vs holland game.It was a thrilling match

hehe. Well done.

yes you can! we have a team with mostly german players, so why not?

Yes. He is. I think he has some sort of a German background.
But anyway, he was bred here.



Why not, he's an awesome player.



Don't worry matey, I didn't.



Did you see it?

I think lehmann is better than kahn because lehmann is quicker off his feet.

Yes, of course.

"Boooooom"

i'm kinda sad Peter Smeichel (or how the fuck you spell his name) is old and fat. he was a damn good keeper.

Hehe. It was quite good if I do say so myself. I like that song.
I also made a Liverpool video and it has the same song.

Did you see Kahn scoring with his hands at the end?
