This thread was originally going to be "What is your soccer dream team?" but I decided since this is an American forum and alot of the users are American and like US sports that it should be open to all sports as most people wouldn't be interested in a soccer dream team. So please tell me what your favorite sport is eg Basketball, baseball etc and what your dream team would be for that sport. I'll start with my soccer dream team comments are welcome...
Gk: Buffon rb: Contra lb: Roberto Carlos cb: Nesta cb: Chivu rm: Beckam cm: Xavi cm: Zidane lm: Pires cf: Van Nistelroy cf: Raul

Your team seems like a balanced one also [img]smile.gif[/img]
About Beckam I'm a Man United fan so do the maths...although I thought about Figo for this position admitedly. Yes Raul is a fantastic player should have one European footballer of the year last time in my opinion. There's no shame in putting Joaquin in your team I'm a regular watcher of Spanish football and he's a fantastic player(had a good world cup also). I wouldn't have picked Denilson(another Betis player [img]tongue.gif[/img] ) though he can be brilliant but is too inconsistent. Guardiola was a great player but I wouldn't pick him for his abilites in the present day either but overall your team seems pretty good (I notice alot of the players play in the spanish league).

That's why I say I'm not very objective.
Let's try without Spanish league players: Gk: Kahn rb: Cafú lb: Raul Bravo (new Leeds Utd. player on loan from Real Madrid) cb: Cannavaro cb: Nesta rm: Van Der Vaart cm: Ballack cm: Verón lm: Nedved cf: Vieri cf: Henry About Guardiola, he was my favourite player during the 90s and kind of a symbol of Johan Cruyff's football (the best of the best).

In football there is no such thing as a "dreamteam". On any given day, a team of pros, can lose to a team of amateurs. The British FA cup had lots of those surprises in the past. Anything is possible in football. In Basketball there WAS a dreamteam, but that's history. And i'm not going to name 11 topplayers, cause once you put them all in the same team, you don't have a team anymore, just a bunch of ego's. One of the strongest teams i've ever seen was Ajax in (i think) 1994. They went through the competition undefeated, won the Championsleague, and the worldcup in Tokio. That team came close to perfection, too bad it had to be Ajax though.

Seems like everyone reckons Roberto Carlos is the best left back in the world not a suprise really. I must say I think Helguera is better in a defensive midfield position rather than at center back although he's played well there this season. Also it's good to see someone else pick Pires who I think is a fantastic player even though it pains me to say it what with him being an Arsenal player.

About Raul Bravo doesn't he play for the Spanish National team even though he isn't a first choice at Real Madrid? A bit wierd I would have thought they'd give the position to someone who starts regularly perhaps Romero of Deportivo? The one nitpick I'd have with this team is that Van Der Vaart is in right midfield. A fantastic young player yes but isn't he left footed?
