aka La Liga XI.

..CR7.............Messi..............Neymar

-------------------casillas-------------------
alves------thiago----pepe------coentrao
-----------------de rossi---------------------

neymar--------xavi---iniesta----cristiano
-------------------messi----------------------

-------------------Casillas
---Ramos---Hummels---T.Silva---Coentrao
---------------Xavi------Iniesta
-------------------D. Silva
-------Aguero----Messi------Ronaldo


I pick them on the basis that they are the most stand out footballers in four categories: GK, defenders, midfielders, and attackers/forwards/strikers/wingers.

---------------Iker----------------
-Alves---T Silva--Kompany-Marcelo
--------Pirlo-----Xavi-------------
--Messi----Iniesta-------Ronaldo
-------------Ibra----------------------

casillas

thiago -- kompany - pepe

schweini - -- xabi --- xavi

ozil -- - iniesta- -- ronaldo

should rename the thread title to "MY current world eleven". With that said, here the official current world XI:


--------------------------Casillas-----------------------------

Alves------------T.Silva-----------Pique---------------Lahm

------------------------Yaya-------------------------

-----------Xavi---------------------------Iniesta----------

Messi---------------------David Villa----------------------Ronaldo

_________Casillas
Alves___Pepe___Lescot___Marcelo
______Busquets/Ramos
_____Ozil___Xavi__Ineasta

or something like that. u know, dat spain tactic.

-------------------------------Casillas----------------------------
----------------Silva----------Pepe---------Kompany/Vidic(Before Injury)

------------------------Pirlo-------------------------
----------------------Xavi-----------------------Iniesta
---------------Ozil --------------- Ibra-----------------------------Ronaldo
----------------------------------Messi---------------------------------------------
Bench:Neuer,Ramos,Lahm,Busquets,R.V.P,Shweini,Sagna

Not the best working 11 ,just the best player in each spot.


....................................Casillas

Alves.................TS........................Vidic..................Coentrao

........................................Pirlo

.............................Xavi.................Shweinsteger


Messi................................Ronaldo................................Iniesta

Casillas
Ramos - Kompany - Agger
Alves - Xavi - Pirlo - Iniesta - Marcelo
Messi - Ibrahimovic

Geez, I know the Euro's just happened but there are great players who don't play in Europe you know and some shocking admissions due to not being in the Euro's and injury.


-------------Neuer---------------

Alves----Vidic----Puyol----Lahm

Xavi----Yaya Toure----Iniesta

Messi-----Cavani-----Kun Aguero

I know, I know I will get killed for leaving Ronaldo out but for me it was Messi or Ronaldo. I just think there wouldn't be enough of the ball for the both of them in the final third so I'm not saying Kun and Cavani are better but I'm saying Messi beats him out.

Plus Everyone on my team are hard workers, track back and play defense as well as offense Ronald is very 1 dimensional these days and he is awesome at that dimension but that's not what I want in my team. I mean look at Man U they sold Ronaldo and were not really effected in fact it gave Rooney more room to shine which is kind of my theory with Messi in the team not Ronaldo.

--------------Valdes
---Alves---Skrtel---Agger---Alba
--------------Lucas
--------Gerrard-----Xavi
----Suarez-------------Iniesta
--------------Messi

Actually, Falcao should be in every team, best striker in the world probably.

3-5-2 FTW

Casillas, Alves, Ramos, Kompany, Marcelo, Pirlo, Xavi, Iniesta, Messi, RVP and CR7. I find that Pique had a terrible season and T.Silva was injuried therefore my centrebacks are what they are.
EDIT: 4-3-3 formation!

Casillas
Alves-Pique-T.Silva-Lahm
Pirlo
Iniesta-Xavi
Ronaldo-Drogba-Messi

Bench: Neuer, A. Cole, Chellini, Schweinsteiger, Oezil, Ribery, van Persie

Sub : Neuer, Alves, Kompany, Schweinsteiger, Xavi, Ribery, Ibra
