Pat's Fantasy World Cup Team #1
Thursday, June 15, 2006
Considering all 32 teams have played at least one World Cup match, it's as good a time as any to make a fantasy team! I didn't see all the matches, but I wasn't far off. Here's a bunch of players who caught my eye during the group stages with their great play and/or who I wouldn't mind picking up if I was a football manager...
Starting lineup (4-4-2)
Shaka Hislop (Trinidad & Tobago) (gk)
Ulises de la Cruz (Ecuador)
John Terry (England) (c)
Phillipe Senderos (Switzerland)
Roberto Carlos (Brazil)
Javier Saviola (Argentina)
Tim Cahill (Australia)
Tomas Rosicky (Czech Republic)
Bastian Schweinsteiger (Germany)
Fernando Torres (Spain)
Didier Drogba (Ivory Coast)
Bench
Petr Cech (Czech Republic) (gk)
Olof Mellberg (Sweden)
Carlos Puyol (Spain)
Claudio Reyna (USA)
Cristiano Ronaldo (Portugal)
Mohammed Kader (Togo)
Yasser al-Kahtani (Saudi Arabia)
Here's a few players who underachieved, but I think they'll get on the scoreboard in their next match.
Arjen Robben (Netherlands)
Thierry Henry (France)
Park Ji-Sung (South Korea)
Zlatan Ibrahimovic (Sweden)
Wayne Rooney (England)
Andrei Shevchenko (Ukraine)
Francesco Totti (Italy)
Feel free to comment on your impressions too, if you like.

Arjen Robben (Netherlands) scored their goal and totally killed the other team. I dont think he underachieved.
hmm, you make a good point. (I didn't see much of that match)
I realised last night that I forgot some other striker, but I can't remember who it is now...
Rooney underachieved? He's injured!
Ah, Sven, how unhappy Alex Ferguson is with you for playing him.

Well I dont know many of those players but the only comment i can make is that you have seven on the bench...as far as i knew, it was five, unless they have their own special rules, or u jus couldnt pick five (sometimes its just too hard!).
Well Ben, Rooney is apparently England's entire team according to the tabloids...personally I think Steven Gerrard is more important to the Poms. I was sort of punting he'd score a goal more than saying he was crap.
And technically there's 12 players on the bench in the World Cup that could come on, so ... I'm going to continue to make shit up.
