Zanetti and Nesta definitely deserve a shout. I didn't watch enough Vieira but he also has his impressive record and while Scholes is in the mix, Giggs should definitely be considered as well.

Mine would look something like:

--Kahn--
--Zanetti-- --Maldini-- --Nesta-- --Lahm--
--Ballack-- --Davids-- --Pirlo--
--Del Piero--
--Henry-- --Trezeguet--

The bench would be: Buffon, Zambrotta, Thuram, Terry, Carlos, Xavi, Vieira, Gerrard, Lampard, Totti, Raul, Van Nistelrooy.
