Can you name any defence to frustrate strikers more than this one.

GK: Magnus Hedman (Coventry)

LB: Allan Stubbs (Celtic)

LCB: Tony Adams (Arsenal)

RCB: Jaap Stam (Manchester U)

RB: Sol Campbell (Tottenham)

Man that is one weak defense
Adams is way too old did you see the way rivaldo ran circles around him at wembley when Barca beat Arsenal 4 - 2??

Stam? Frank DeBoer is still the top Dutch center back and can also play as a left back.

Magnus Hedman??? Are you out of your mind?? Buffon is vastly superior no contest

This is the best defense in the world

GK: Buffon (Parma)

LB: Roberto Carlos (Real Madrid)

LCB: Frank DeBoer (Barcelona)

RCB: Alessandro Nesta (Lazio)

RB: Lilian Thuram (Parma)

By the way the Italian league has a much harsher emphasis on defense than England, so I dont know what your thinking with that roster.

Who had the best defence in europe last season? Yep that`s right Arsenal and what league are they in again? FOOL!!!

Too old eh well tony and his defence may i remind you are all 35+, too old ha.

Haha Goonerboy I see that you only get to watch English league... also sorry but who the hell is Allan Stubbs?

Hedman is not in top 10 keepers right now, In English league alone they have many better keepers.

Also about the Arsenal defense, much of it has to do with the fact that most of the teams that played them last year used defensive tactics because they were afraid of Arsenal's attacking power.
I do think that Tony Adams has been one of the best in the past year though, every game he makes last second clearances and tackles, a very good player...

GK - Buffon

I'm not sure were they all play, but Frank de Boer, Marcel Desailly, Allesandro Nesta and Cafu.

GK - Toldo
LB - Maldini
LCB - Mihjalovic
RCB - Thuram
RWB - Cafu

GK- Peruzzi
DL- Carlos
LDC- Maldini
RDC- Nesta
DR- Thuram

Maldini is definetaly the best defender in the world.

Arsenal had the best defence in europe because they worked as a team and they have been playing in the arsenal backline for up to 20 years.They have the same teamwork senses as yorke and cole have.
David Seaman
Tony Adams
Martin Keown
Lee Dixon
Nigel winterburn
All of which are class defenders who cares if there pensioners.
