As the leagues are drawing to a close I was wondering who you guys would have in your European eleven (European based, not nationality).

I can't see anybody doing anything that spectacular in the last few weeks of the season to change your mind on whether to have them in the team or not, and one good perfromance shouldn't make a difference anyway. so pick your eleven, formation doesn't matter.

11:

--Ibrahimovic------Drogba-----
--------------Kaka'---------------
----Gerrard-------Ronaldo------
-------------Essien---------------
Riise---Vidic---Carvalho--Alves
--------------Reina---------------

Obviously it won't work tactically. Maybe in South American all-ofensive football.

Subs: Palop, Ramos, Carragher, Alex, Scholes, Pirlo, Villa, Berbatov and Nistelrooy.

*

-Reina (Top keeper, really like him).

-Riise (The best in EPL and Europe. He had some better seasons before but still... top).
-Vidic (Until he got injuried, he was the man in United's defence).
-Carvalho (Best CB in EPL this season).
-Alves (Best in-form RB worldwide).

-Essien (Impressive season).
-Gerrard (Liverpool's soul).
-Ronaldo (Best RW in the world at the moment).
-Kaka' (The world's #1).

-Ibrahimovic (He took Inter to another level).
-Drogba (Good season).

*

-Palop (Sevilla GK. Really good).
-Carragher (Top defender).
-Ramos (Really young and amazing).
-Alex (Impressive CB).
-Scholes (Class, really important for United).
-Villa (Amazing).
-Nistelrooy (Just feed him. Always there).
-Berbatov (Top-class).

My best 20 men squad for 2006/07.

Posted by: kurtsimonw May 11 2007, 11:49 PM

My team is:

Goalkeeper: Iker Casillas (Real Madrid & Spain)
If Madrid win the league, he deserves so much credit, he's kept them in so many games.
Right Back: Sergio Ramos (Real Madrid & Spain)
For a weak defensive team he's done well at the back, chipped in with some important goals, too.
Left Back: Gabriel Heinze (Man United & Argentina)
Done fantastic and earned captaincy for a few games thanks to his hard work and class.
Centre Back: Ricardo Carvalho (Chelsea & Portugal)
John Terry hasn't had his best season, Ricardo has more than made up for it.
Centre Back: Marco Materazzi (Inter & Italy)
Great work at the back, scored a fair few goals an' all.
Right Midfield: Cristiano Ronaldo (Man United & Portugal)
I hate the guy with passion. Scored plenty of goals, some very important ones along the way.
Left Midfield: Lionel Messi (Barcelona & Argentina)
Replicated Maradona's solo goal, scored a hat-trick against Real. Top class act.
Centre Midfield: Andrea Pirlo (Milan & Italy)
Best passer of the ball in the world in my opinion, where would we be without him.
Centre Midfield: Kaka (Milan & Brazil)
The best in the world at the moment, his performances againt United even got the British press praising him!
Striker: Dimitar Berbatov (Tottenham & Bulgaria)
Scored plenty of goals this season, even when he doesn't score, he oozes class.
Striker: Zlatan Ibrahimovic (Inter & Sweden)
Why couldn't we get him? Best striker in Serie A, me thinks.
Manager: Sir Alex Ferguson (Man United & Scotland)
Worked wonders in 3 competitions this year, still one of the best.

Subs:
Coach: Juande Ramos (Sevilla & Spain)
Made the final of 2 competitions and still going strong in the league. A job well done.
GK: Andres Palop (Sevilla & Spain)
If it wasn't for him Sevilla wouldn't be going to Glasgow, scored a vital last minute goal in the UEFA Cup, what a keeper.
DF: Dani Alves (Sevilla & Brazil)
Does well defensively, typical Brazillian full-back, great attacker.
DF: Jamie Carragher (Liverpool & England)
Gets ignored by England, proves over and over again that he's one of the best defenders in the world.
MF: Gennaro Gattuso (Milan & Italy)
Ads the fight and passion to our team, possibly the most under-rated player in Europe.
MF: Francesco Totti (Roma & Italy)
He shouldn't be up front, but he's done a great job scoring goals this year.
ST: Ruud Van Nistelrooy (Real Madrid & Holland)
Proven at another great club that he can get the job done anywhere, one of the most prolific scores in the world.
ST: Didier Drogba (Chelsea & Ivory Coast)
Without him Chelsea would have really struggled this year, carried them all the way.

haha you would probably only have carvalho left to defend the rest would all be in the box lol especially on a set piece

Posted by: Portikins May 12 2007, 01:19 AM

Ma team would be a bit of Corinthians 2005 style.

We conceeded 4 goals? No problem, we scored 5.

.......................Drogba

...........Totti.................Kaka

......Essien.......Fabregas..........Gattuso

Maldini....Nesta......Carragher....Oddo

......................Cech

These are based on the current season and on general consistency when fit of course

Posted by: han2503 May 27 2007, 04:23 PM

----------------Cech-----------------
D.Alves--Nesta--Carvalho--Bridge
----------Essien--Gattuso-----------
----------------Pirlo------------------
--Kaka----------------------C.Ron--
---------------Drogba----------------

I know Cech and Nesta were out for most of the season, but they proved to be the difference for their respective teams when they returned to the team and were playing in top form.

Alves is simply the best in his position right now, so it's got to be him, and Bridge is probably one of the most underrated players I know of. He sees more bench time then playing time because of Cashley, but imo he should be the starter.

Essien and Rino were simply amazing this season, can you imagine having those 2 in the same team?!!

Of the Pirlo type players, he has been the best imo, and I know he started bad in the beginning of the season but he got better as time went on and showed up for us when it really mattered.

Kaka, no words, carried us to the final in the CL, he might not shown his best performances in Serie A, but he swept Europe away with his performances this season, no question about it, he is number 1 atm.

Ronaldo was immense in the league this season, ok so he might only show up against the lesser team but that is what will win you the league, being consistant against the so called lesser teams, and at times he has won Man U games all on his own.

If Drogba wasn't in the form that he was in this season then Chelsea would have sinked by the end of December. The only 2 pieces of silverware they won where due to his goals, and if he was scoring like he was in the league then Chelsea could have found themselves battleing for second with Liverpool. That's how essential all his winning goal were to Chelsea this season.

Wow not biased at all

Posted by: misha May 27 2007, 05:43 PM

You wouldn't know he's a Milan fan

Here is my super team:

----------------Cech-----------------
D.Alves--Nesta--Carvalho--Riise---
----------Essien--Gattuso-----------
--Messi--------Kaka---------C.Ron--
---------------Drogba----------------

Subs: Casillas, Gerrard, Pirlo, Totti, Ramos, Alex, Ibrahimovic, Villa

Coach: Carlo Ancelotti

Posted by: KillerMax May 27 2007, 09:28 PM

----------------Casillas---------------------------
---Alvez----Nesta--Carvalho----Jankulovski---
-----------Gattuso------Teymourian-------------
-C. Ronaldo-----------------------------Messi----
---------------Kaka--------------------------------
-------------------------Totti-----------------------

Casillias: Just an amazing goalkeeper with a lot of passion for his club.

Nesta: The best CB in the World since Baresi and Maldini.

Carvalho: I don't like him but he has been Chelsea's most consistent player alongside Drogba.

Jankulovski: He did great this season. If it wasn't for his crucial goals in the moment were everything was going against us, we wouldn't be where we are right now. Some great assists too.

Gattuso: If I you are a coach, you would want Gattuso on your team. Simple as that.

Teymourian: Surprise of the season in the EPL. Right after his debut h started impressing and had a big hand in Bolton's EPL position. Just a complete center mid.

C. Ronaldo: Best SMF and WF in the World. Period.

Messi: It's exciting to finally see a player with Maradona's vision again. And doing all these things while being so young, he has left the World in awe.

Totti: I would have given anything to have Totti in Milan. Totti has done so well Roma and this season was no exception.




Subs:
Buffon: My list wouldn't be complete without him in it.
Naldo: A great underrated defender.
Ramos: Has done wonders for Real this term.
Essien: A very complete player that works hard.
Diego: Another underrated player who impressed very much this term.
Huntelaar: Huntelaar is possibly the most underrated player in Europe with such enormous talent. After letting Berbatov slip, we would have to be very very foolish to do the same to this guy. Lucky is the team that is gonna end up with him.

ST: Ruud Van Nistelrooy

Posted by: aLbErTo May 28 2007, 05:50 AM

crouch has to be at least on the bench if he was the second best scorer of CL...and btw, why the faqin carvalho, he doesn't know **** about defending...this years best cenral backs are definitly nestaand carragher, while side backs i would pick daniel alves and risse.

Midfield is really faqed-up. You have to, but you really have to have Pirlo,Gattuso,KaKa,Gerrard and C.Ronaldo in midfield. Well i don't know how would that function, but rino would definitly play great cuz he doesn't give a ****, while other might not work well together.

-----pirlo-------
--gerrard--gattuso--
kaka-------c.ronaldo

Attacking:
Crouch/Drogba/Inzaghi/Nistleroy....al these 4 attacker are used to play like lonley striker that's also why i've picked them. If they are to fit my system of course...

Posted by: maldini03 May 28 2007, 04:31 PM

This would be my team

-----Drogba----------Ibra-------

HA HA HA HA HA

Materazzi at LB!!!!!!!!!!!??????????

LOL!!! Man, how many beers have you had today!!???

Posted by: kurtsimonw May 31 2007, 11:24 PM

You're just jealous, he can play anywhere he wants.

Materazzi Is Football.

Posted by: dst May 31 2007, 11:34 PM

HA HA HA HA HA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Please stop it guys!!!!

I'll treasure this forever:

That's no quote.. My 'Is' and 'Football' began with capital letters. Lies!

You edited you post!!

Posted by: misha Jun 1 2007, 12:47 AM

Now it sounds better

Posted by: Portikins Jun 1 2007, 12:59 AM

Hey. Respect guys.

Materazzi is Kaka's brother (Digão) favourite player.

Posted by: KillerMax Jun 1 2007, 04:44 AM

Actually Kaka and Matterazzi are friends...

Posted by: kurtsimonw Jun 1 2007, 04:47 AM

That Materazzi's a good guy, everyone's friends with him.

Posted by: Jack Sparrow Jun 1 2007, 10:49 AM

^^^^

Even Zidane??!!!

Posted by: LaPalma Jun 1 2007, 01:04 PM

Just one. I didn't mean to put every player in a suitable position. I placed every defender in the defense how they came into my mind...,I do look kinda stupid now, do I?
And as much as I disrespect Materazzi he reeally had a great season.

Posted by: whoarethepatriots Jun 1 2007, 01:08 PM

Shevchenko isnt too friendly with Marco either

Remeber that headbutt?

Posted by: dst Jun 1 2007, 02:43 PM

Just picture him on the left... it would be so freaking funny!

Anyway, Materazzi had a great season!?? Nesta has played much better than him even if it was only for a couple of months. In the World Cup he was decisive. So was Grosso... I don't think he has been so good as to be awarded in Europe's best XI... he's been better than the past seasons but he was a bad defender then so that doesn't make him a good one now, not good enough at least.

@whoarethepatriots: Sheva had also had a kick in the ******** by Matrix... that pr!ck, thankfully he's cooled down a bit.

Posted by: kurtsimonw Jun 1 2007, 04:23 PM

Matrix was in my European XI.

I think he's had a superb season for a defender, they've not conceeded many goals, he's played very well all season, including last years World Cup and he has what.. 10 goals? That's insane.

I 'heart' Matrix.

Posted by: misha Jun 1 2007, 04:31 PM

I hate Matrix too

Posted by: kurtsimonw Jun 1 2007, 06:34 PM

Chelsea have just signed Claudio Pizzaro on free from Bayern Munich.

Not a bad move.

Edit: Wrong thread, sorry.

Posted by: kurtsimonw Jun 2 2007, 09:20 PM

According to Eruo2008s tactical layout thing for the game, Matrix is playing left back today.

Posted by: dst Jun 3 2007, 02:04 AM

Everyone's against me!

Posted by: kurtsimonw Jun 3 2007, 02:07 AM

Well, you're team won Euro 2004 AND you got to see Milan play in the CL Final.

Until every last person on here gets to say the same thing, we'll be against you.

Posted by: han2503 Jun 3 2007, 05:32 PM

What is it with you and that crazy, number 23 obsessed mafioso?

Sorry just doesn't make sense how you could be a Matrix fan.

btw anyone has that lobbed own goal he scored against Empoli last season? Now THAT was class

Posted by: kurtsimonw Jun 3 2007, 07:24 PM

Number 23 is my lucky number.

Posted by: whoarethepatriots Jun 3 2007, 07:34 PM

Matrix is a good defender, but i personally dont like him, except when he plays for la nazionale

Posted by: kurtsimonw Jun 3 2007, 07:42 PM

That's where I'm different, I either like a player or I don't. I may change my mind over a period of time, but not depending on what shirt he's wearing at the time.

If a Birmingham player plays for England, I don't give him the same respect as other England players because I more than likely don't like him.

With Matrix, I like him, probably always will. Whether he's wearing the colours of Inter or Italy, it doesn't make a difference.
