I played 7-a side tournament and my advice would be play a formation that suits your team strengths, if you have 2 good strikers + 2 average defenders then put an extra defender in the back and drop your second best striker to mid-field playing a 1-1-3 formation in other words 1 forward+ 1 mid-field+ 3 defenders+ goalkeeper= 6 players, you can adopt this system to your strong points and strenght'en your weak points, identify both weak+ strong put it down on paper and now apply your best formation possible. I hope this will help you in choosing your strongest team ,good luck DKENGJW!!!

good question...first off, stick to DEFENSE...if youve been playing it all of your life, then youre probably best at it. Plus, defenders are more valuable to a team then midfield. To get in to shape? easy, you just have to want it. Run every day around the block for about 1/2 mile or so, or any distance your comfortable with. Jumping Rope is also a good way to get in shape. Also doing wall-sits really helps. Push it everyday! Best of Luck To You!

Dida (*Rogerio); Cafu (*Cicinho), Juan, Lúcio and Roberto Carlos; Émerson and Zé Roberto; Kaká (*Juninho) and Ronaldinho; Adriano and Ronaldo (*Robinho).\n\n(*) 3 of these will probably substitute in the 2nd half.\n\nIt's a 4-2-2-2 formation, definitely NOT 4-3-3.\n\nBTW, Adolfo, are you related to the great Bioy-Casares, who, together with the masterful Jorge Luis Borges, is one of the beacons of Argentinian and world literature? If Argentina's team, in football terms, has ten percent of the talent those two had in literary terms, then I will fear for the compatriots I listed above.\n\nBut I don't think I need be concerned -- they do not.

In many ways your selection is good, but I forsee 1 problem; both Maradona and Eusebio were playmakers. \n\nRather than complement each other, they will both be trying to open up defences and there is a chance, it will confuse the strikers. Both players having different styles, in delivering the telling pass. \nBut like your question, this analysis of mine is hypothetical. Your choice could always work as well.\n\nFor my choice: Definitely both Pele and Maradona would be in. Maradona as the deliverer and Pele, someone who can play anywhere in an attacking formation.\n\nStriker: Well there are plenty, but as a poacher in the box, you've got to consider Gerd Mueller, a player who is forever, 'in the right place, at the right time'.\nThe other player in my 4 would be Enzo Francescoli, a player idolised by Zidane. He can create but also can be very 'tigerish' in midfield, by holding up play and disrupting the opponents play/flow in midfield.\n\nSo it goes like this: Maradona the playmaker, with Francescoli complementing him. Mueller as the out and out striker, with Pele having a free reign in the attacking 3rd, playing as an attacking forward if necessary, drifting around in the 'hole' or dragging play to the inner wing area.\n\nBut there is no perfect answer, any combination, given the quality of players gone by, would or could have the same devastating effect.

ha ha - is this a set up? - well I'll say it - don't worry, Charlton have got away with it all season!\n\nTake it easy if you're not used to running around. Try and keep clear of the opposition so you have time to react when the ball finds you. The wing is quite a good place to hide, if any one tries to get past you you can always adopt the Boris Johnson style of tackling...\n\nGood luck and enjoy it (let us know how you get on).

Well to be fair in all aspects of the game, you really need to break it down into 4 categories, Goal Keepers, Defense, mid-field, and forward. \n\nand remember these are just my opinions...\n\nGoalies: Dida (BRA)\n              Oswaldo (MEX)\n              Keller (USA)\n\nDefense: Sol (ENG)\n                Sorin (ARG)\n                Puyol (ESP)\n\nMid-field: Beckham (ENG)\n               Ronaldinho (BRA)\n               Ballack (GER)\n\nForwards: Adriano (BRA)\n                 Henry (FRA)\n                Ronaldo (POR)

I will start with the classic 4-4-2 with Ronaldinho, Robinho a little more backwards and Ronaldo. Later, in my opinion, we know that Ronaldo is not the same as some years ago, and I will change it for Adriano. It depends also how easy or difficult is the game.

It's a good question as you need to reconsider the favoured 4-4-2 system.\n\nI'd play a 4-5-1 with Owen up front as it gives both Gerrard and Lampard freedom to support.\n\nCarrick would need to play the holding role for this to work with Beckham and Cole running the wings.\n\nTeam would be therefore:\n\n-------------Robbo------------------\nNeville---Terry---Ferdinand---A Cole\n------------Carrick-----------------\nBeckham---Lampard---Gerrard---J Cole \n-------------Owen-------------------\n\nI bet this is fairly similar to your team!!

First of all Coach Eriksson should pay attention to the important players such as Ronaldinho , Adriano, Kaká, Robinho and Ronaldo and the sectors of the field to be neutralized.\n\nHe also should consider the weak points to apply the counter attacks and use the following tactics:\n\n-individual tactics: ( the 1×1 concept offensive defensive)\n-group tactics: (the 2×1 in a situation of 5×5)\n-team tactics: (apply the match condition from 6×5 to 11×11)\n\nBrazilians always play in these 2 kinds of line -ups:\n\nGoalkeeper + 2X4X4(defenders X wings and middle fields X center forwards/attackers) or Goalkeeper + 3X5X2.\n\nI would love to give my opinion about the line-up too, but I'm not familiar with the list of English players selected for the British National Team.\n\nBut one thing I can tell you for sure: The Brazilian National Team is definitely better and stronger than the English one for this World Cup!\n\nAnd it will be nice to see a reprise of the semifinal from 2002, when the Brazilians kicked the cute British butts out of the Final, hehehe...\n\nAs it common to say in the Football world..."The English invented it, the Brazilians perfected it."
