That's a cracking team and not far off the one I would choose if I was selecting a World XI. The only players I would swap would be Ronaldo for Fabregas and Terry for Lahm.

Ronaldinho lol.
i sure wish i had a brazilian passport and got paycheques from barcelona too,
then maybe i could not turn up to work and still get called brilliant

Terry isnt a full back though

And Ronaldo isnt exactly a holding midfielder

I didn't say I would play them in the same positions as the players they would replace

I think this was sky sports team of 2006 (premiership only):

...............Jaaskeleinen
Chimbonda...Terry....Ferdinand....Cole
Ronaldo...Fabregas....Gerrard....Giggs
...............Drogba....Henry

However I'm not 100% sure Cole and Giggs were in it.
