sucks honestly.
The likes of Miguel, Podolski not picked.
Dont know how Toni and Figo got in there.

Totti :rofl:

Luca Toni? :rofl:

Henry, Ballack, Totti, Toni and Ze Roberto were all average :|

Totti there is a joke right?

*waiting for a post from mikey*

Henry, Ballack, Totti, Toni and Ze Rpberto were all average :|
fully agree.


Miguel deserved a spot.
Podolski was crap so I don't see why he should be there.

Maxi Rodriguez? Miguel? Frings? Mertesacker?

These FIFA sh*t awards based on reputation make me want to puke.

they want big names in the all star team.... :-puke:

I bet if Ronaldinho had made two or three more dribbles he'd be on the team as well.

I disagree with Henry, Ballack, Totti, Toni, and Ze Roberto. I am also suprised that Figo is there also.

Even John Terry is pushing it, it's all FIFA corporate-tastic anyway.

I bet if Ronaldinho had made two or three more dribbles he'd be on the team as well.

Probably :D

I bet if Ronaldinho had made two or three more dribbles he'd be on the team as well.

it's quite amazing to think he's not in the team. All he probably needed to be in it was score one, or set up one, or do one amazing dribble.

Just shows how rubbish Brazil were.

Where is Pauleta?

Where is Pauleta?

That was quite funny :junior:

Where is Pauleta?

What did he do to even have his name mentioned in this discussion?

I think he was being sarcastic or...well if we use Fifa´s criteria he could have been there :fool:

oh, my bad :$

Both Vinnie...

Zé Roberto was amazing... without him Brazil would get screwed much sooner.

oh come on... MARQUEZ!! and how come there arnt any argentinian midfielders?

Wheres Dwight Yorke?

Ze Roberto made alot of cruical last-moment tackles saving Brazil in every game.
but, Toni? jesus christ. even Ronaldo was better than him. others that dont make sense to me are Totti and Crespo.

*waiting for a post from mikey*

remember when Italy beat Germany to advance to world cup final? I do.


Although Totti had a good game against Germany and came up huge against Australia,,, he still shouldnt be there. Neither should Luca Toni...

Terry, Ballack, Crespo, Ze Roberto dont really deserve it either...

England made it QF, despite being mediocre, so i guess they felt someone had to be picked. By default i wouldve gone with Gerrard or even Beckham

I feel Ribery, Miguel, Grosso, Perrotta, Xavi and maybe Torres couldve made it

This FIFA technical comitee must be a bunch of alcoholics. Totti? omg :X

Gattuso? You're having a laugh

from eurosports.com
the computer selected best 11 based on the total number of matches played and average statistics for each match:

Buffon
Cannavaro, Lahm, Zambrotta, Abidal
Maniche, Gattuso, Zidane, Frings
Klose, Villa

theres no human subjectivity involved in this selection.

Gattuso? You're having a laugh
Gattusso deserves to be there 100%... He has a certain role on the team that he plays better than any other player can do... He disrupts the opposing midfielder better than anyone. I look forward to watching him do his job against Zidane...

[QUOTE=Mikey]remember when Italy beat Germany to advance to world cup final? I do.
/QUOTE]

yeah i do. i thought you say "totti, whoah! 100% deserved it" perrota? not really.

but like morrati said, gattuso deserved it 100%.

Ribery deserves to be in that list. Also, i think Lucio had a very good performance on this WC, being one of the few players that dont deserve any kind of criticism.

Terry, Carvalho but no Lucas Neill????? Do they even watch the games? http://mods.soccergaming.tv/%7Eiceblu/Ice/rolleyes.gif

What about the 2 CB's from Ecudaor? what about the GK from T&T? Another popularity contest :|

Terry, Carvalho but no Lucas Neill????? Do they even watch the games? http://mods.soccergaming.tv/%7Eiceblu/Ice/rolleyes.gif

Lucas Neill was a rock at the back, FIFA are a bunch of retards on valium.

It's a joke like most ManOftheMatch Winners !

Don't get me wrong all great players but forexample


is Thierry Henry having a good World Cup ?
Also did Terry have one?!

surely not. I mean the only english players that came back with some positives from that World Cup was Hagreaves, Lennon.

Where is Kaka?

Why is Totti in it, appart from the Pen what exactly did he do so good to be in the AllStar team?


Its all typical FIFA bollocks again.

well i thjink they've got some players right but others...

Henry is doing decent. 3 goals(1 to knockout brazil) and he is playing with the same achillies injury he has had over the years. He might not start the season for Arenal. I read this on arsenal mania somewhere. I agree he has not played at his best but there are other 'stars' that have been far worse than the gunner galactico.


ps- not to mention the PK he got for france against Portugal. He prob woulda scored if he took it.

No Cristiano Ronaldo in there? I'm disappointed.

haha, typical FIFA with their **** picks based on popularity

no c ronaldo, ferdinand better than terry overall, where mascherano?maxi rodriguez, kaka?? fifa comitee is piece of shait

Lucas Neill was a rock at the back, FIFA are a bunch of retards on valium.
Or maybe they noticed that he comitted a foul that resulted in a penalty kick that resulted in Australia getting knocked out. Argue the call all you want, if he hadn't made that one poorly timed tackle it would have never happened.

As for Terry, although he wasn't spectacular, he made a couple of crucial plays that kept England's chances alive.

Personally I'd rather see some mention of Odonkor for Germany. He was electric every time he came on with the exception of the semi final.

Anybody else notice the lack of wide players on the list?

And what??? Carvalho DIDN'T give up a penalty that got his team eliminated :rolleyes: Didn't stop FIFA from picking him, and his was actually a foul. :confused:

maybe they just picked carvalho because he's far superior to lucas neill... :confused:

i think frings had a better world cup than ballack.

and for totti, i believe he leads the world cup in assists, so he wasn't completely useless besides the pk.
