L'Équipe's Team of the Year

Pirlo definately deserves to be there. I don't see what all the hype is around Alonso... As a lone DM, he would suck balls every single day of the week which would mean alot of work for Xavi/Iniesta to defend. Pirlo would do marginally better in that position and his performance this season has proved his spot... Alba only gets there because of Euro. Cole or Marcelo (though Cole) at LB anyday. Ramires at RW is a joke... Drogba or Ibra up front though that would mean Messi on RW, making him look like a twit against any opposition...

no one from B.Dortmund? no one from shakhtar? where is zlatan?

well if that's as bad as that i go full biased

i take Totti and for the rest just call 10 random people from street , still "L'Équipe's Team of the Year"

Fail team.No player from Serie A .

PEPE instead of kompany

RIBERY instead of remires

MARCELO instead of Alba

NEUER instead of Iker

PIRLO instead of alonso

That is somewhat better. Good call with TS. I'm not sold on Alba though. And Barzagli/Chiellini for Ramos.

Whoever said Neuer for Casillas should be shot. No way has Neuer played better than Casillas this past season...

Casillas has always been hype. Never really impressed with him. No idea why people rate him so high.

give me Neuer over him any time. He's made a few silly blunders in the BL 11/12 season because he plays risky, but he prevents more goals that way than playing safe just because of being scared looking silly.

plus he's not a shrimp like Casillas and actually controls his area.

Neuer is better than Casillas ever was or will ever be.

I too rate Neuer the best goalkeeper in the world right now, but you simply haven't watched Casillas enough. I strongly feel Iker was better in his earlier days (say early 2000s) than he is now, hence I disagree that Neuer is better than Casillas has ever been. For some reason he hasn't been San Iker for a while.

Their team of 2016 :

Fakenaldo before Neymar, Alves. I'm out of here.

Ronaldo was much better than Neymar in 2016 lol...

Alves though... wtf

Ramos and Alves are there exclusively because of their name.

btw some guy won some prize for correctly predicting this years FIFA WORLD Team of the year which is officially announced in a few days and people found his predictions on his twitter



what a joke and I can see it being true 100%

Thiago Silva

FIFA shouldn't be allowed to give out prizes tbh

7 or 8 La Liga players, depending on how you count Alves and only 1 EPL player. Tells you something about the relative quality of the leagues.

Still better than FIFA team of the year 2017, God, even Botang made that team, I thought messi ended his career?

Godin instead of Bonucci, and Higuain instead of Suarez though...

Godin instead of Bonucci? Very funny.

Nothing funny about that.

If bonocci was in la liga, he would be going through baptism every day

It's easy to defend in the league with Higuain the best player of the league LOL

Higuain the best player "of the league"?

He is the best player of Serie A, he got that award for this year, joint top scorer of serie a history

dont shake that head when you aren't updated, and because we burst your bubble of bonucci being better than godin...

Oh, so tough. You are scaring me. Scoring lots of goals is great, but there are plenty of better players in Serie A. There are better players on the Juventus team. And, Godin is not "better" than Bonucci.
