can tell ya a man yoo fan with this selection...... although you have picked a good side, you dont have a right back (cafu is more central really)

mine would have to be

Cech

Zannetti... Nesta... Maldini.... Carlos

Robben (potentially) Ronaldinho (midfielder?) Zidane.... Kaka

Henry..... Shevchenko

no english players in it at all to be honest

is this all time players, or current ones?? as my choice may vary quite a bit if it is all time

well my defence would

Goalkeeper: Petr Cech (Czech Republic/ Chelsea)

Defenders: Cafu (Brazil/ AC Milan), Arsenal), Ashley Cole (England/ Arsenal), Alessandro Nesta (Italy/ AC Milan), John Terry (England/ Chelsea)

Midfielders: David Beckham (England/ Real Madrid), Gennaro Gattuso (Italy/ AC Milan), Steven Gerrard (England/ Liverpool), Arjen Robben (Holland/ Chelsea)

Forwards: Thierry Henry (France/ Arsenal), Wayne Rooney (England/ Manchester United)

By the way, Cafu plays at right back for both Brazil and AC Milan, as he did for Roma.

Goalkeeper: Nelson Dida

defenders:

carlos puyol John Terry jaap Stam Gabriel Heinze


Midfielders: claud makelele

pavel Nedved Zinedine Zidane


Ronaldhinio

Forwards:
Andriy Shevchenko Thierry Henry
