Best World XI right now?

[Closed Account 2]

I thought it was a pretty tame effort by Fiorentina, Rangers were there for the taking but as JG would say, they lacked the moral courage to do it

To be fair they threw everything at Rangers in the 2nd leg... Vieri missed countless chances, it was just one of those nights when you are destined not to score.

Lads how anyone doesnt have Ronaldo in the best 11 team in the world right now is crazy, he is an arrogant fcuker and not exactly a fans favorite outside Old Trafford but there isnt 11 better players in the world than him right now, and there is no better right winger

Not true. He had an awful Euro 2008 and I reckon he's never again going to produce like he did last season. I don't rate him as high as the News of the World or The Sun, or Andy Gray says I should. I like to call it free will.
I do not think that one great season makes a great player. And he still goes missing in the big games.

I dont need Andy Gray or the Sun or whoever to hype him up... the fella scored over 40 goals last season... and as for going missing in big games, didnt he score in Champs league final, or is that not a big enough game for u?

and he did it the season before too so hes more than a one season wonder

I still don't rate him as high as you do. Simple as really.

--------------------------Casillas-------------------------
---Sergio Ramos-----Kolo Toure------Cordoba-----Clichy----
---Cronaldo-------Kaka-----------Fabregas-------Messi----
-------------Torres-----------------E'too----------------

Keeper: It's between Casillas and Buffon for this, anyone saying otherwise hasn't got a clue. Casillas gets it for me as I think he is more important for Spain and Real than Buffon is for Italy and Juventus, only just mind

Defender: Real lack of quality defenders in world football at the moment I think. Ramos had a great season at Madrid, and played okay at the Euros after a shaky start, Kolo Toure is about as under-rated a centre back as you can get, Cordoba similarly has been one of the best defenders in the world for a long time, and Clichy is just superb, a great reader of the game for such a young player too.

Midfield: These four are the four best players in the world at the moment, so it was an easy choice for me. Xavi and Iniesta just edged out by Fabregas as he had a better season last year

Forward: Torres has added something to his game since going to Liverpool and wa sthe outstanding striker of last season in Europe. E'too to partner as I don't think one bad season takes away from his quality. A move to Milan or possibly United would do wonders for him I think

So you are saying that CRonaldo is better than Lionel Messi ?

dont be so arrogant as to think that just because someone rates ronaldo that they are from the andy grey school of football analysis! you just contradicted your "free will" statement yourself you fool. i support liverpool so hate the ladyboy but fook off if you dont think he is among the best 11 in the world RIGHT NOW!! im his biggest critic and thank god none of my mates read this coz i always wind them up BUT he scored against Liverpool (big game), Arsenal (big game), Chelsea (big game + CL FINAL) oh and prob the most hungry and determined header iv seen in a long long time (roma). what more do you want? oh oh Kaka whos team came 5th in league and was slaughtered against Arsenal. oh oh no i know,Messi....who missed alot through injury and also got beaten by Ronaldos team. hmmmm who esle...? 7000 goals and 6879 assists is decent enough aint it?
