If you could create an “All-World Soccer Team” comprised of the best current soccer players - who would be on your team?
i know this is a pretty vague question considering there are a lot of good players throughout the world in many different leagues - I was just trying to get a feel for who you guys thought were the best soccer players currently.
mf: Pavol Nedved (Juve) (Aimar)
mf: Kaka (Milan) (Sneijder)
mf: Edgar Davids (Barça) (Ballack)
mf: van der Vaart (Ajax) (Figo*)
fwd: Thierry Henry (Arsenal) (Roy Makaay)
fwd: Alan Shearer (Newcastle) (Patrick Kluivert)
fwd: Ruud van Nistelrooy (United) (Ronaldo**)
I think he's well over the hill -ersonally. He adds nothing to Madrid anymore and i always have found him to be overrated anyways.
** Injuries worry me - he looks fat and I would like to know how many goals he would score if he didn't have 2 of the best, if not the best, playmakers in Beckham and Zidane around him.
*** Don't know where to put Zidane - he should make the list - but I consider him a forward more than a midfielder - and i would rather have the strikers i mentioned above Zidane.
NeSCio - i just can't put down my legend Shearer - as i said the Zidane is more of defender than mf - so i will stick by that - oh yeah i wouldn't ruled out biased in me. :D
ballack is better as a playmaker - he can do everything that Vieira can just as well and is a MUCH better scorer himself.
Even this season Ballack has scored 7 times already in 25 games and Veira compared to that only twice in 27 games.
The season before Ballack had 10 goals in 26 games, Viera 3 in 24 games.
The season before that Ballack had 17 goals in 27 games, Vieira 2 in 34 games.
In Leverkusen Ballack played behind the attackers mostly and Emerson played behind Ballack - but is he possibly the best header in the world? NO - Viera is
