Planet Cricket Fifa World Cup 2010 -Day Two!!

Yes, Harris, he's not worth it anymore.. too old, will struggle to get into the game.

Also, Skrillex, top effort with all those '?' symbols and what not.. a truly dedicated achievement that you managed to get all of them. Unless, of course, you just copied their 23 man squad off Wikipedia directly and then added 3 mumbo jumbo players.

Wrong, wrong, wrong! Beckham is still the best passer in the world as well as best dead ball player. If I was Fabio I'd have him starting right mid instead of Wright-Phillips/Lennon, just because those two are inconsistent and lose the ball too often. Beckham is nowhere need the end of his career yet, he can cut it at AC Milan for god sakes.

There are some well good names in there , I'll get back to you with the other 4 players. Anyone else like the American touch to the positions

 

[blake]

Wrong, wrong, wrong! Beckham is still the best passer in the world as well as best dead ball player. If I was Fabio I'd have him starting right mid instead of Wright-Phillips/Lennon, just because those two are inconsistent and lose the ball too often. Beckham is nowhere need the end of his career yet, he can cut it at AC Milan for god sakes.

[/RANT]

Treva, you make a good point, and he is of course one of the most skilled players in the world, but I've decided to try some fresh blood on the wing and it's most likely going to be Lennon starting there. I was considering Beckham, but in the end didn't go for him.

The person who isn't really into soccer that much gets the Italy team and doesn't know who to pick. Blasphemy!
