Your World XI

sc(+)pe · 28 Nov 2002 at 16:32

I aint gonna post a team but what i am going to say is, Is there such a lack of talent at left back in the world that Roberto Carlos is regarded as the best by so many of you, if not you all.

Personally i dont think roberto carlos can defend to save himself and most of the formations here are a 4-4-2 where he wouldnt be up and down the wing but primarily defending. Surely some1 can come up with a decent left back :eek:

Here is my non-biased opinion, assuming i go 4-4-2 and all the players are on top form

GK. Kahn
RB. Thuram
LB. Roberto Carlos
CB. Nesta
CB. Campbell
LM. Pires
RM. Figo
CM. Viera
CM. Zidane
LF. Henry
RF. Ronaldo

Subs

GK. Buffon
CB. Cannavaro
LM. Giggs
CM. Rivaldo
CF. Shevchenko

some players i like but others shade them like crespo, rvn, del piero, denilson, rivaldo,

carlos showed in the england match he can defend when many doubted him them

i must say there is so much talent that there are prolly 2 or 3 world XIs which all would all be super 13337

Switching to 4-3-3 whenever attacking with Shevchenko pushing on.

Your first 11 would be overrun most of the time, there's no defensive midfielders at all to protect the defense - or are you just planning on them getting the ball and keeping it?

very true, lets not forget Kluivert & Totti = overrated

and is that Hierro on the bench lmao that guy is so slow there are much more better defenders, like Ferdinand

Zidane is strong enough to hold the middle of the park, and the defence would be strong enough to hold it's own.

Kluivert isn't rated highly enough by anyone. When he's on form he's as good as anyone - especially in the air. And Totti isn't overrated either.

Jim Little · 29 Nov 2002 at 15:02

Scholes is under-rated big time!! now that fergie has been playing him back in central mf. one of the best in the game at what he does when UTD one the CL he was outstanding!!

JAzz · 29 Nov 2002 at 15:02

people wouldnt shut up about totti in the WC he wasnt that great was he,

indeed Kluivert is good but there are players better them, imo he is overrrated by some

You a manyoo fan perchance?

One question, why do you have two left backs? Are you playing Maldini in the middle and Nesta at right-back?

Yes i'm Man U through and through, i quite honestly believe that Maldini and Roberto Carlos could play either side they wanted, but if you want a right back i'd say Cafu.

erm who has shown bias ?

the only person i can see might be Bossman but he has only picked 3 man utd players

Giggs
Keane
RVN

all three of which are world class players so I cant see why people are having a go at him ?

Thank you at least someone has sense. Giggs and Keane, i could quite honestly say they would make the first team of any team in the world in there respective positions, they are the best at what they do.
