I only get to pick one??? Well, i'm picking out two!!! Riquelme and Tévez, the playmaker and the striker, both of whom the ball sticks to!!!! Riquelme has such pace and skill and imagination- and Tévez, who is built and moves like Diego Maradona!!!! Two exceptional and inspired players in a team of stars. I highly rate Lucho and Maxi and Cambiasso and Abbondanzieri too!!! Basically, any one of these players in any other team would be the best in that team, but together.... I so hope they win!!! :-)\n\nTo answer your second question, Tévez has a scar because when he was a baby he was burned when a pot of boiling water fell on him. Apparently he turned down plastic surgery- for which Boca, his club up until a couple of seasons ago, offered to pay because he didn't want to miss any matches and it's part of who he is. I didn't know how he got it either until today so I looked it up- and now I respect him even more!\n\nVAMOS ARGENTINA!!!!!

ahahahaha keller better than lehmann...do you ever actually watch the games....lehmann plays for arsenal and was an important part of them making the champions league final...keller couldnt even cut it in the premiership when he was there...left sitting on the bench for years at tottenham.\n\nLehmann wins hands down...only reason you say keller is that you are american and biased.

Mohammad Ali Karimi Pashaki (Persian: محمد علی کریمی) born on November 8, 1978, is an Iranian football player. He was the Asian Player of the Year in 2004. He currently plays for the German giants Bayern Munich in the 2005–2006 season.\n\nAli Karimi started his career in Fath Football Club and experienced significant improvement during the time he was playing for the Persepolis football club and got offers from Atletico Madrid, among other European clubs. However, Karimi did not accept them and chose to play in the UAE because he wanted to stay close to Iran. He is arguably the best dribbler in Iran and his ball skills are amongst the best in Asia. His skills are often compared to those of Maradona and therefore received the title of Asian Maradona from world newspapers. He showcased his skills in the Iran-Germany friendly game for Bam victims. He is generally regarded as the best player in Iran, along with team mate, Mehdi Mahdavikia. Karimi, in 2004 was given the prestigious Asian Player of the Year, like his fellow iranians, Mehdi Mahdavikia in 2003, Ali Daei in 1999, and Khodadad Azizi in 1996.\n\nAli Karimi performed well at the 2004 Asian Cup, where he tied for most goals scored with five to his name. Iran placed third in the overall tournament, behind Japan and China.\n\nAs of March 2006, he has 89 caps with Iran national team and has scored 32 goals for Team Melli.\n\nBayern Munich\nOn May 3, 2005, Bundesliga champions Bayern Munich's website announced that they signed a one year contract with Ali Karimi who becomes the third Iranian after Ali Daei and Vahid Hashemian to try his luck with Bayern.\n\nDespite initial skepticism, due to the overwhelming uncertainty regarding Karimi's physical aptitude and feelings that his transfer was nothing but a marketing gag, Karimi did not waste any time in proving his critics wrong. On August 14, 2005, for the first time, Felix Magath put Karimi on the starting line-up of a 5-2 victory against Bayer Leverkusen on the 2nd day of Bundesliga. Karimi's assist to Roy Makaay for Bayern's second goal followed by his first goal of Bundesliga capped a great performance that earned him a spot on Kicker's team of the week.\n\nIn the following period, Karimi established himself as a regular in the Munich squad, not a small feat with a stacked midfield featuring Michael Ballack, Sebastian Deisler, Martin Demichelis, Bastian Schweinsteiger, Owen Hargreaves, Mehmet Scholl or Ze Roberto. With his finesse, his playmaking skills and his versatility, he is seen as a great asset. Karimi's contract with Bayern has been extended one more year because he has made his 25th appearance for the club. Unfortunatly, in that game against Hamburg, he injured his ankle, but is expected to be back in time for the World Cup. Karimi also scored on his first UEFA Champions League appearance against Rapid Vienna.

Depending on the game:\n\n\n#23 Timo Hildebrand born 05.04.1979 from the VfB Stuttgart Games 3 - \n#1 Oliver Kahn born 15.06.1969 from Bayern München  Games 84 - \n#9 Jens Lehmann born 10.11.1969 from Arsenal London Games 29 - \n\nAs you can guess its going to be Oliver Kahn most of the time.

There is no one to substiute Ballack, but Karimi will also do a good job.(BUT he can't lead the team as Ballack does, Ballack has a special skill)

David Beckham is one of the best midfielders and Cristiano Ronaldo is also kool and i think Eric Cantona are the best.

Cudicini Vs VanderSaar i Go with Van der Sar...he has an outstanding abilities in saving long passes and penalties\n\nTerryVs Ferdinand Terry is better ..Ferdinand was the best defender the past few years..But now since Terry is the captain of England..has more opportunity to do..He is for sure better\n\nColeVs Evra..Joe cole is technically better than Evra..but since Joe cole is most of the time on the bench..i pick Evra\n\nBallack Vs Carrick..Well in the future..i think that carrick will be remembereed as a good player only Ballack will be remembered as legend..It is surprising why people dont talk much about Ballack after all what he had done for Germany in 2002 he was the main reason they reached the finals!!\n\n Gary Neville Vs Boulharouz :well..to tell the truth i never heard of Boulharouz before..or may be i heard the name but i never saw him play to his potential..so i pick Gary Neville\n\nVidic Vs Carvalho...I pick Carvalho..because he is the best defender in Chelsea..\n\nLampard Vs Scholes:I love both players..and they are both one The main reasons their clubs are going into success\n\nEssien Vs Ronaldo :Based on current performance..CristianO Ronaldo is better ..and one of my favourites in Manchester united ..he is more accurate on his shooting on goal..and more of a mature player i believe\n\nAttack Rooney Vs Shevchenko ..shevchenko WAS a good player for the past few years..But now Rooney is better..He has explosive sprint and tremendous shoots...he is one of the main reasons Manchester united is so successful\n\nDrogba Vs Saha i believe Saha is more of a mature player because Drogba seems to dive sometimes and i am not astonished by his styles and talents\n\nthere you go..i hope i helped you

He deserves the position that Jurgen gave him over Oli Kahn. That was a fantastic game against Villareal. He has incredible reflexes and judgement.

I have watched Karimi with high hopes - but feel that he's just not a play-maker. He has good scenes and moments, but he doesn't seem to spark the team or really drive them forward. \n\nI think the real question is whether Deisler could take Ballack's place! He's got fantastic energy, is crative, and really gives his all. Not even Ballack does that all so often... !

Better Player: Ballack. A terrific team captain!! Germany hasn't let in any goals since he played. Great assistance, and great ball control. I hope he scores one for Germany in the next match.\n\nBetter Looks: Ballack. IMHO Taller, Sexier... Tall, dark and handsome is just what he is... Love his eyes, too... I admit that Becks has the prettier face, though. But that's just about it. Ballack is more attractive... I've never been much attracted to Beckham... He's too pretty... He's even prettier than his wife.
