I think it's quite clear what I mean with this thread; Create the best starting 11 of the tournament!

So choose the players who played the best this tournament, so don't look at how the've played last season at their clubs, but only base your squad on their matches at the 2006 world cup.

I'll do the kickoff:

 

Buffon (ITA)

 

Miguel (POR) - Cannavaro (ITA) - Thuram (FRA) - Zambrotta (ITA)

 

Cahill (AUS)

 

Xavi (SPA) - M. Rodriguez (ARG)

 

Zidane (FRA)

 

Klose (GER) - F. Torres (SPA)

Oh Lord - I'll do it without the positions, alright? Because I don't know THAT much about football to know every player's position and all that..

 

I'd like the following players in my team:

 

Goalkeeper:

Jens Lehmann (GER)

 

Players:

Wayne Rooney (ENG)

Peter Crouch (ENG)

John Terry (ENG)

Steven Gerrard (ENG)

Zinedine Zidane (FR)

Miroslav Klose (GER)

Lukas Podolski (GER)

 

I don't know too many names of the other teams, so.. these are the most important ones :P

For me...
