Your startup makes sense.

I'll go with your pick. Looks perfect to me.

However, which player in the list can we substitute for Ronaldinho. I'd love him to make the starting XI.

Cheers!

I actually agree with your formations the 1st one especially… if Madison’s and pele are in the same team I’m satisfied…I may just exachange the keeper to schmechiel or Oliver khan

Gone for a 4-3-3 with a regista!

1. Neuer

2. Cafu
3. Maldini
4. Beckenbauer

Diego Armando Maradona will be my captain cos in terms of skill-set he is the best ever on the planet in my opinion.

Notable mention has to be Cristiano, one of greatest players of all time but it’s just difficult to get in my team because there are beasts in his position, although he can get in yours.

Any squad, and first 11 that doesn't have
Inesta, Xavi, Bousquet, C. Ronaldo, Messi, and Ramos in it is NOT worthy of being called best 11 in any sense and any time

U can't say you've created a squad without messi,even till 'thy kingdom,' Someone must tell a history how a legend named messi,walked on the surface of football world.


Much Respect to football incarnate!

Ronaldinho still remains the king of football.
That guy is a genius

Zidane will pair with iniesta playing the number 8th position.

Also, maldini will pair with lahm playing the number 2 position.

Ronaldinho made 90percent of football lovers fall inlove with the game, both the past, present and future generation will always attest to it.

Cristiano made me to start watching football but ronaldinho is the raw picture of football. Like the foundation.

How could you pick an Ashley Cole over a Robert Carlos?

What is Rudd Van Nisterooy doing in your team with all the galaxy of striking power in football history?

So why was he not in your list while you made space for so many mediocres.
