Tudor??? he wanted us to Remember to select players on their performance in this season.

I don't think that Tudor qualifies... he hasn't really been playing.

Sander Westerveld! Rickenbacker I'm pleased with you. Along with Buffon IMO he's the best keeper out there. Please tell me her starts for Holland now.

 

[Slagathor]

He doesn't. First keeper for The Netherlands is Van der Sar, second keeper is Waterreus, third keeper is Zoetebier.

 

[Anders]

How about that Stekelenburg dude???

 

[Slagathor]

Stekelenburg? He's only 19 years old but he'll most likely become NL's first keeper in a couple of years!

 

[Anders]

Ohh... alright. I just heard that he's great.
Thanks for correcting my spelling, I didn't actually mean to call him a burger.

 

[Christian_Vieri]

Waterreus is also awesome. But anyways, still Van der Sar? Why?

 

[Slagathor]

I guess you could (slightly) compare Van der Sar's position with Trappatoni's... He's criticised by some but still there because of his very impressive past records!

Karlberg - I didn't assume you meant that.

 

[Dj Juve]

oww..on this seasons performance huh..

-------------------------cudicini--------------------
-thuram-------stam-------gallas------armand
joaquin/camo--------davids----------neddy--
------------------------aimar----------------------
----------------makaay-----dp/raul------------

 

[Slagathor]

Joaquin I've really only seen when he missed that penalty kick for Spain the WC so I'm not sure on him!

Great team otherwise!

 

[Dj Juve]

joaquins the best young right winger/midfelder IMNVHO

Really now...is that a realistic team? Friedel is a better alternative to Westerveld,and how can you choose Ferrara and De Boer ahead of players like Ayala,Nesta and Maldini? Figo hasn't done anything special in a while now,and Overmars has only recently started to play well. Van der Vaart has been impressive when not injured,while Ballack has failed to make a similar impact on the european stage like he did last year. Bergkamp has been relatively good,but not good enough to have a starting place in a world XI. And lastly,Gudjohnsen

Excuse me, but am I the only one that thinks that Nesta has sucked while he's been at Milan???

he's sucked for a couple of seasons now! I for one hope he gets on track, since when he's on top form, few are better!

 

[Christian_Vieri]

DP's Apprentice, Friedel is a better alternative to Westerveld? I don't think so. And actually Figo and Ballack has been very impressive of late unlike Nesta. True though Ballack took a while to settle in. But Rickenbacker, I don't know what Ferrara, de Boer, Overmars, Berkamp, Gujohnen, and most of those subs are doing there.
