You can have any players that play today, or have played in the past.. Pele and all of the past soccer legends are pickable. Preferably use a 3-5-2 formation but whatever you want goes.

Wake -up call for all present:  Ronaldo was just replaced in the 69th minute.  He's a little overweight and not performing that well.\n\nKlose is now an easy pick seeing as he already has 2 under his belt - no-brainer and #1 favorite.  Same goes for Rosicky.  \n\nCrespo - maybe.\n\nDrogba more than likely won't make it past the next round.  \n\nOwen also left the pitch earlier than planned - as soon as Rooney is healthy again, he can go back to Newcastle for a long vacation.\n\nHenry also needs to make it into the half-finals.  They won't.\n\nRaul maybe\n\nShev maybe\n\nVan Nistelrooy longshot, but feasable\n\nAnd now the player you forgot:  Ronaldinho.  He will win the Golden Boot 2006.

Although strongest on paper,  history is strongly against Brazil this time ...winner from non-european continents when played in europe is very rare..only ONCE , in 1958 ...also , back to back winners are rare too , again last one being 1958, 1962\n\nArgentina , England and Italy look likely winners along with dark horses Holland,Portugal and Serbia , except for the fact that Argentina, Holland and Serbia are in the same group for the first round \n\nArgentina is very balanced with crespo, tevez in attack,with an attacking midfield ..riquelme, messi, gonzalez , mascherano ..option of aimar ..defence - heinze, sorin, zanetti, samuel/militto..only prob. is the non-european voodoo\nHolland is really superb and young attacking side - ryan babel, maduro, huntelaar,  with a few seasoned pros like van der sar , robben , van nistelrooy ..just imagine ...coach van basten has afforded to drop roy makaay,seedorf !! all they need to to do is gel as a team\n\nsame goes for england - question mark is :need to gel as a team - surely, atleast the semis

no no no. please dont give the greece example. it was one in a lifetime miracles what happend. it was a shame discrace for the europian soccer because that last final game of the europian championship was the most boring game i have ever seen. now having said all that difense is not the winner nor the offense but the combination of both. the offense will keep the ball away from your goal so the team wont be in danger of loosing the game. if you want ta winner for this upcomming summer check out italy, england and a have to include the scaaaary brasil. look for sleepers like germany or argentina too.

OMG....Rooney and a healthy Owen is your best bet.  Most teams would love to have those two up front.  I like Crouch and Defoe, but come on.....they are no where near the striker of Owen or Rooney.  Seriously, think about this.  It's the World Cup...you are the coach of England.  Your country is watching....who are you putting up front?

Many names must be considered. As well as Maradona there are Gurd Muller, Franz Beckenbauer, Johan Cruyff, Alfredo di stefano, ference puskas etc. The most recent contender would be Zinidine Zidane, a true legend!

Ashley Cole or Paul Scholes could rough him up..John Terry would be ideal though...haha..
