This is a great post, interesting, thought I would revive it as well.

AT:Clint Dempsey

ST:Chicharito

Subse Rosario, Bryan Ruiz, Benny Felhaber, Gio Dos Santos, Maurice Edu, Johnny Spector, Ochoa

Give Agudelo a few years and he will be in the squad alongside Chicarito hopefully. He is the future, we haven't had a real goalscorer in a long time, since Brian McBride, the kid has amazing potential, I think he can realize it as well. Another one is Charlie Davies, if he can recover it would be such an inspiring and uplifting story. The day Charlie is back on the US national team I will go wild, may even cry

I included Mexico (Central America) because, their style of football is similar to the south americans.

Bench: Ibrahimovic, Lampard, Xavi, Terry, Cheillini, Robben, Ribery, Ozil, Nasri & Rossi.

I didn't put players like Rooney, Torres & Gerrard because they were complete crap this season. Van der vaart, Fabregas, Nani, Alonso, Pazzini & Pique were barley excluded. It was a hard choice for me. If had I reserves, i'd for sure put them in.

Reading this thread I have to smile.... Putting together the 11 personal "best" means nothing. Think of the "best" match of Worldcup 2010 Argentina vs Germany. 11 truly "superior" individuals vs 11 seemingly "inferior" opponents....And yet, Argentina was smashed out of the championship by a truly outstanding German TEAM performance.

I also have to smile at the European lists here......German names like Özil, Schweini etc. Can´t be read in those lists....It makes me smiling indeed

You wanna have a well-reasoned world-top11-list of the Worldcup 2010? Go to zonalmarking.Net: Link: www.zonalmarking.net/2010/07/19/world-cup-2010-tea...

Here are the names:

Eduardo, Portugal

Philip Lahm, Germany
Carles Puyol, Spain
Ricardo Carvalho, Portugal
Fabio Coentrao, Portugal

Xavi, Spain
Bastian Schweinsteiger, Germany
Mesut Oezil, Germany

Thomas Mueller, Germany
David Villa, Spain
Diego Forlan, Uruguay
