Not at the World Cup 11

joe cole will be included in this once capello excludes him :(

Modric

Dzeko

Joe Cole???? Is this a wind up.

Ronaldinho good pick I think.

2 bosnians up front :D

lol yeah. Maybe Dzeko as a sub. Modric also. Need to see what we can come up with. All good players mentioned so far...except Joe Cole. Don't think he will make it in this team.

Juan Manuel Vargas (Peru & Fiorentina) left midfield

interesting. he plays left back as well doesnt he?

yeah used to but plays more attacking left wing now. good player

Petr Cech in goals. Highest profile keeper missing I reckon.

or Akinfeev maybe...

Gareth Bale

david bentley

David Bentley? is this a joke. Gareth Bale an interesting pick. For left back you also have Vargas and Zhirkov.

For Right back maybe Corluka?

Corluka
Bale
Rosicky

adebayor

ffs thought this was the footy forum

Rosicky v Modric interesting one. Is Bale good enough to put in? Clearly great in terms of potential and form.

bellamy

bellerz wouldn't make the team with dzeko and ibra

A+ rated bench warmer though, good personality

Bellamy a good call.

Luka Modric

Niko Kranjcar

Dean Ashton

Modric and Krancjar good picks. English cripples not so good.

Roman Pavlychenko

So basically the whole Spurs team?

Yes, except those that aren't English. As they should be going anyway. .

CORRECTION.

Those that are English, mean't top say.

Gary Doherty

GK Igor Akinfeev
RB Corluka

CM Fletcher

CF Ibra

SB Cech

SB Bellamy
SB Pav

Would win it i think

manager...guus hid*****

Nice team. Who is this Gary Doherty? Not a name I am familiar with.

Antonio Valencia

Gareth Bale (if he sustains current form)

doherty is only norwich's centre back and ireland legend

used to play up front for ireland

Shay Given surely best keeper in premiership

Given is a good shout to be fair.

shay given

Corluka is the worst right back I have ever seen in top flight English football

Jody Craddock (although call up pending)

costa rican forward who plays for fc twente

I think it should be restricted to teams that aren't at the World Cup, makes it more interesting. Doherty is useless. I thought that might be who you were talking about but he was rubbish even 10 years ago.

Quality defenders from non-qualifying nations seem harder to find than quality midfielders/forwards, though I'm sure there are plenty I have neglected.

GK - Petr Cech (Czech Republic)

DEF - Wael Gomaa (Egypt)
DEF - Ivan Cordoba (Colombia)
DEF - John Arne Riise (Norway)
DEF - Dunne (Rep of Ire)

MID - Yossi Benayoun (Israel)
MID - Rosicky (Czech Republic)
MID - Nihat Kahveci (Turkey)
MID - Modric (Croatia)

FWD - Arshavin (Russia)
FWD - Berbatov (Bulgaria)

Other quality players not at WC:

MID - Edison Mendez (Ecuador)
MID - Hleb (Belarus)
FWD - Mohamed Zidan (Egypt)
FWD - Adebayor (Togo)
FWD - Ibrahimovic (Sweden)
FWD - Shevchenko (Ukraine)

Arteta should be at the World Cup and would be if he wasn't Spanish.

Kenny Miller a shocking omission!!!

Kompany (Bel)
is a decent defender for your list

and of course :
Thomas Vermaelen (Bel)

is a better defender than what you have so far..

Good calls on the two Belgians. I think Belgium are really going to surprise people in the next few years. A lot of talented youth.

lol'adebayor...he aint gonna be missed

Cristian Chivu

I think you can say Egypt as a definitive XI that will be missed. A fantastic side, won the last 3 ANCs, play some 'pure liquid football' as Partridge would say.

olic
bale
akinfeev
krasic

krasic will be at the world cup

robbie keane

Robbie Keane is finnish at the top level of the game. Good penalty taker though.

Wayne Rooney.


Oh well

Eden Hazard

Roger Miller |

cambiasso, zanetti pushing for a place in the team now. ronaldinho surely earns a spot on the bench.

Mexes and Menez and frey who was forced to retire by that french frog. All beacause of his hatred for Italy these players did not have a chance

Pele & Maradonna

Cambiasso, Zanetti, Marcelo should all be in the team

Giggs, Berbatov.

Don't think O.Pato made it.
