Neat little app on the BBC website, if only to build that pre- World Cup hype up some more.

 

Pick your 11.

 

 

I went for;

 

Banks

Cafu Moore Beckenbauer Maldini

Maradona Zidane Platini Jairzinho

Ronaldo Pele

 

 

Unlucky to miss out - Cruyff (couldn't pick 4 forwards), Iniesta, Charlton, Eusebio, Kempes, Lineker, Muller, Milla, De Boer.... there's too many!

                     Banks

Cafu Cannavaro Beckenbauer Carlos

Rivaldo   Pirlo     Zidane    Charlton

               Pele    Ronaldo

 

So many players missed out that could have been put in though like Maradona, Muller, Moore, Maldini etc

Posted

Banks
Cafu - Cannavaro - Moore - Carlos
Rivaldo - Pirlo - Zidane - C.Ronaldo
Ronaldo - Lineker

 

Apart from Moore, Banks and Lineker (who I put in for patriotic/Leicester biased reasons) I tried to go for players that I remembered from the World Cups that I saw. I know Pele and Cruyff etc are legends but I never saw them play.

I wanted Ronaldinho but he wasn't on there. I probably would've liked a young Michael Owen in there too.

I did this earlier and went for:

 

                  Yashin

Cafu    Baresi    Beckenbauer    Carlos

Garrincha    Zico    Zidane    Maradona

              Pele    Ronaldo

 

They would have scored 56 goals, won 12 out of 18 possible World Cups, appeared in 18 out of 23 possible finals and would have had 35 clean-sheets out of a possible 47.

Went for players who I've seen otherwise I'd be picking the likes of Cruyff.

 

Buffon

 

Cafu -- Cannavaro -- Maldini -- Lahm

 

Figo -- Zidane -- Xavi -- Pirlo

 

Ronaldo -- Klose

Some of the positions are debatable, for me Maradona certainly wasn't a striker. Could easily have put Cruyff in midfield too.

 

In any case I chose:

 

Banks

 

Passarella

Baresi

Beckenbauer

Maldini

 

 

Zidane

Matthaus

Garrincha

 

Jairzinho

Maradona

 

Gerd Muller

 

I feel bad about leaving Cruyff out but for the purposes of this game Jairzinho had more goals and world cup experience.

 

My 2nd team wouldn't be bad though:

 

Yashin

 

Carlo Alberto

Cannavaro

Moore

Breitner

 

Iniesta

Zico

Hagi

 

Cruyff

 

Eusebio

Ronaldo

 

It's a bit strange to me that C. Ronaldo is in there and Messi isn't considering neither of them have really impressed at the world cup. If you have one you have to have both, surely?

I was thinking that. There's no way Cristiano should be an option in this.
