Kewell >>>>>>>>>>>> Eboue in midfield. Kaka plays right, enough said.aussie said:well Kaka is good enough to play anywhere in mid-field other than in a holding role since he would be wasted there so i put him on the left, plus i couldn't think of too many good left-sided players outside of europe so i took the risk.
That sort of argument might be valid if it were a club side struggling with injuries, but not a world select XI.aussie said:ok, but i explained why even though he is a full-back why with the pace he shows as a full-back why could play in the right mid-field position fairly comfortably i.e (how Zambrotta does for club & country in a similar left sided role) while Kaka who probably is the best right-midfielder outside of europe could play on the left thus giving the world side a strong look and a good balance.
To be fair, there's only one person rating him as a midfielder.Cloete said:Besides, Kewell shouldn't come anywhere near a full non-European team which says alot about how overrated Eboue is in the midfield.
Fair enough, but as i just said i'm still short of a good left-sided player outside of Europe.marc71178 said:That sort of argument might be valid if it were a club side struggling with injuries, but not a world select XI.
As i said he is good enough to play anywhere in mid-field except for in a holding role since he would be obviously wasted there. Plus from what i have seen of him for AC Milan & Brazil he plays in the hole for his club & for Brazil he plays on the right while Ronaldinho plays in the hole.marc71178 said:And I thought Kaka played in the hole, not down the right?
Okay mate, fair enough. Left-sided player outside Europe? I can't help you. Though I shall look into it.aussie said:no no no the formation that the 3-5-2 for the rest of the world that i had in mind looks like this:
--------------------------------------------------------GK----------------------------------------------------------------------
----------------------------CB-----------------------CB---------------------------------------------CB---------------------
--------------------------------------------------------DM---------------------------------------------------------------------
--------------------RM------------------------CM-----------CM---------------------------------------------LM-----------
-------------------------------------------------CF------------CF-------------------------------------------------------------
Its the kind of formation Argentina plays, i dunno i thought in the 3-5-2 formation the two wide defenders where referred to as wing backs my mistake. But still even if its unwise to play Eboue on the right since he is a full back & i keep Kaka on the right, i'm still short of a good left-sided player outside of Europe, any suggestions?
i think i found one in Ze Roberto, even if he may be a bit old & probably past his best..GeraintIsMyHero said:Okay mate, fair enough. Left-sided player outside Europe? I can't help you. Though I shall look into it.

defnsively that formation is far too narrow, you need to drop the midfielders into the wing back role rather than as out and out attacking wing men, one of the forwards then needs to be dropped into central midfield or in the hole in order for that formation to be a proper sucess.aussie said:no no no the formation that the 3-5-2 for the rest of the world that i had in mind looks like this:

No Zidane seems... problematic.BoyBrumby said:Ok, here's my European team of the tournament:
-------------------------------Buffon-----------------------------
Zambrotta--------Cannavaro------Gallas--------Lahm
Pirlo-------------Frings----------Gattuso-------Ronaldo
------------------------Henry------Klose---------------------
Subs:
G: Ricardo, D: Sagnol, D: Senderos, M: Deco, M: Hargreaves, S: Torres, S: Shevchenko
Hard to argue with much there. There might be an argument for Metzelder at CB over Sagnol on the bench, I thought he played himself well in over the course of the tournament after the mare against Germany, and Pirlo isn't a real winger either so I'd probably go for Malouda there.BoyBrumby said:Ok, here's my European team of the tournament:

4 of whom are defensive & it's pretty hard to fault them on that score....Samuel_Vimes said:I note you have five Italians in the starting line-up despite them being "average"...
He was my captain until very, very recently.....FaaipDeOiad said:No Zidane seems... problematic.
I'd say Makelele deserves consideration as well, was wonderful in the later games. Agree with most of the team though.
crap sorry, maxi rodriguez, maxi lopez is vastly overated.Maxi Lopez is a tall blond forward who plays for FC Barcelona.
