I don't understand what Terry and Crespo are doing there, but the rest is good.
-
No Riquelme or Maxi Rodriguez :eh:
Kaka > Ze Roberto in the WC even though Kaka failed to show up for the last game, he was still more noticable than Ze Roberto
-
Ballack in there and no Maxi Rodriguez shows the lameness of ppl

Yes, plus no Kaka, while Ze Roberto is in. WTF are Toni and Totti doing there ??? ::)
-
Forwards really sucked in this World Cup, but wtf seriously no maxi rodriguez? He was Argentina's Best player
-
why is Jan Kromkamp not in there? ???
-
Riquelme and Maxi Rodriguez should definitely be in. Totti has only played well in one game (the semi), and apart from the one game in which he scored a couple of goals, Toni hasn't really done much.

Ze Roberto played better IMO...His tackles and defense were better then Kaka
Lucio should be included in the defense
-
Fuck knows how Terry got in the squad. He was at fault for a goal against Sweeden and he nearly set a goal up against Equador. Ashley Cole and Ferdinand both played better than Terry for England.

i think it's horrendous that ppl actually get paid to name as squad like this one....
