I don't understand what Terry and Crespo are doing there, but the rest is good.

No Riquelme or Maxi Rodriguez

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

[Meho]

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 

[Javier]

Forwards really sucked in this World Cup, but wtf seriously no maxi rodriguez?  He was Argentina's Best player

[mauzip]

why is Jan Kromkamp not in there?

[On The Edge of Insanity]

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.

[Machiavelli]

No Riquelme or Maxi Rodriguez

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

Ze Roberto played better IMO...His tackles and defense were better then Kaka

Lucio should be included in the defense

[KURUPTION-81]

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....
