Probably been done before but the Ronaldo thread had me thinking about my all time XI. I'd go with:

 

 

                  Banks

 

Cafu  Moore  Maldini  R.Carlos

 

Beckham Zidane Xavi  C.Ronaldo

 

            Shearer Ronaldo

 

 

That's just my opinion, I swapped out Giggs for C.Ronaldo, but I think it works either way. An outstanding Goalkeeper, two full backs that like to attack, two rocks in the centre of defence. Beckham, the best crosser of the ball ever imo, on the right, Zidane given free reign with Xavi sitting and orchestrating things and C.Ronaldo another with sort of a free reign. Shearer and Ronaldo up top just guarantees goals. Difficult to leave Messi out and have C.Ronaldo in, that is a contentious point certainly. A very attack minded team but one that would be able to keep possession well and score bags of goals from the strikers and from midfield. Also the options at set pieces would be ridiculous.

Jose and Jonas for their link up.  Tiote the destroyer in midfield.  Pele and Shearer for loads of goals.

Okay, that I've actually seen play in my lifetime:

 

 

               Schmeichel

 

Zanetti  Nesta  Desailly Maldini

 

            Matthäus Xavi

 

Messi       Zidane     Ronaldinho

 

             Ronaldo

 

Bench:

 

Buffon

Stam

Cafu

Rivaldo

Cronaldo

Figo

Henry

 

 

Worth noting that I don't have much memory of Matthaus in midfield, but I've heard he was decent there like.

What a load of crap. Beckham and Shearer ffs.

 

It is "YOUR all time XI", not "THE all time XI" - let the guy have an opinion ffs :lol:

 

but this goes against the very core of the god of objectivity, who has cast his ruthless judgment on QBG.  FFS, if the guy wanted Jason Lee in his first XI, it does belong to him and him alone.

 

That said, I have never seen a player who could so accurately hit the corner flag from 3 yards out like Jason Lee.  Even Ronaldo would always fuck that up, and shamefully find the back of the net.

                    Buffon

 

Zanetti Nesta Cannavaro Maldini

 

        Zidane Redondo Xavi

 

  Messi                      Ronaldinho

 

                  Ronaldo

 

Maybe.

 

Just from a very quick think, something very similar to this. Would have Schmichael in goal.

 

Let's not forget about Claude since he is now the official namebearer of the Makelele Position TRADEMARK!
