    the thing i found most terrible is cech as the second goalkeeper. after his headinjury he has been a very mediocre goalkeeper that plays scared. Cant blame him but i dont know why he gets the credit he does get.

    Also think Suarez is getting way to much credit. Even though he has a remarkable ability to make something out of nothing his ability to make nothing out of something would make him completely useless on any dominant team in the top of Europe.

    they've got Cech as the 4th best keeper(Casillas at 12, Buffon at 20, Neuer at 29) but even that is still too high imo. In my completely non-homer opinion I believe Handanovic is the best keeper in Serie A so I think he should be on there before Buffon.

    Its hard to tell because of the small pictures but do they even have Neymar on that list?

    Along the same lines another thing to discuss could be the worlds best xi. Gazzetta dello Sport released theirs the other day

    ---------------------Handanovic----------------------------
    -------Alba-------Silva-------Hummels-------Lahm----------
    ------------Pirlo-------Iniesta------Busquets----------------
    -----------Messi-------Falcao-------Ronaldo-----------------

    no players from the EPL made their squad

    That list is bullshit.

    Lamela>SES

    :dealwithit: Bankz

    Pretty much all of 90-100 is pissing me off that Lamela is not listed. Some strong EPL bias in that list.

    iniesta but mainly busquets in there makes me weep. If you want any of the barca midfielders (dont think you should want any of em in but you can argue it) you should have xavi in.

    I honestly struggle to decide who the best goalkeeper in the world is at the moment as buffon is getting up there visibly and my #2 choice of many years casillas isnt what he used to be either.

    outside of goalkeeper id prolly go with:

    Alba-----Kompany------Hummels----Lahm
    ------Pirlo--------Toure---------Ozil
    -----Messi-------Falcao-------Ronaldo-------

    Bench of 7:
    Goalie #2
    T. Silva
    Schweini
    D. Silva
    RvP
    Fellaini (screw it, im prolly his biggest fanboy but I really dont get how he still is with Everton)
    Xavi

    I do agree this list fucking blows.

    SES should be top 10 no questions asked.

    I would have Lamela ranked in the top 50 fwiw

    Any starting 11 that does not include Ibra and Silva is a fucking fail.

    My 11.......

    ---------------Casillas------------------
    Alba----Silva-----Hummels-----Lahm
    ------Pirlo-------Xavi---------Ozil------
    ------Messi------Ibra------Ronaldo---

    I was shocked by this too but I'm glad he is getting some appreciation.

    He has made so many ridiculous saves that have allowed Inter to win or draw games this year. If Cesar was in goal again this year I'm not sure if Inter are in the top half of Serie A right now.

    Dude..... seriously. Lamela is good and one day will be a top 20 talent. But right now he is not a elite player. And Totti? :yolo:

    Look at the bottom 20 and tell me Lamela is worse than them. Hell he and SES are basically the same average if you do it per game considering Lamela missed over a month.

    Totti is probably in the best 11 in Serie A for the 1st half of this year. Hell look at guys on that list that made it on reputation alone(Villa, Forlan, etc) and tell me how they have been better than what Totti has done this year.

    Somehow, the mature beard that he has recently been cultivating only adds to the air of wisdom and thoughtfulness that has always been at the heart of Pirlo’s football. He plays with an alluring capacity to buy himself time, as if he enjoys a metaphorical moment to stroke his new facial adornment while he weighs up what clever touch he intends to execute. Italy’s playmaking kingpin was majestic during the European Championship, as central to the team’s heartbeat as he was when the Azzurri won the 2006 World Cup. The cool of his Panenka penalty, scooped over Joe Hart, was classic serenity under pressure

    My team would be this, granted I don't watch as much as I used to and I am drunk. Lahm on any XI is a joke.

    ------------Neuer----------
    --Ivanovic--Silva--Chiellini--
    -------Toure-----Vidal----
    ---Mata------Gotze-----Iniesta-----
    ----Messi-------Falcao

    Ibra and Ronaldo first 2 subs.
