I think it would be a good idea if the Spanish and English leagues had a little freindly at the end or beginning of every season. So what would your prem teams be? and do you think it would beat a Spanish league 11? Mine would be as follows.
REINA JOHNSON ASH COLE TERRY VIDIC MILNER LENNON GERRARD ESSIEN DROGBA ROONEY
Dont think it would beat a Spanish league team but suppose we will never know.
Its harder than you think to choose. So many you have to leave out lol. I bet nobody agrees with all eleven of anyones team.
haha Norbit Im a huggggeee David James fan, on his day he's the best in the world, so I went on that...
I wanted attacking full backs, as Im playing narrow in midfield, with the exception of Lennon, and Milner can run all day.
With 3 central midfielders who can 'hold' or 'fill in' I think the system is adaptable and the attacking options are endless.
I love your Spanish team with no fewer than 5 strikers!! I think Xabi's gona have a hard time in midfield on his own! lol
Ive lost track of the Spanish league - 5/6 years ago I'd be able to put one up but don't watch it so much any more, Super League has taken over my Saturday tea time sporting fix!
Alonso holding, and kaka n ronaldo in a CAM role so kinda 4-3-3 in a way, but yeah looking back at it, it looks screwed but i couldnt leave that front 5 out they would destroy even the best of defenders!
Yea James was good and can still be on his good days, but imo hes past it now..
I can see what you mean with Milner, but i just cant see him getting back much in defense much (lol im taking this too seriously i think)..
All my mates banging on 'did you see his freekick at the weekend!' and ' Capello should take him to the world cup'...Err no!...hes ok but not england material.
I was going to choose boswinga at first as hes pretty quick, not sure why i changed.
DOHH, if you was england manger, what would your 11 be for the world cup?
Where would he come on the list of players to take a free kick in that area? He wouldn't get a look in !!!
My England 11 would be...
James
Johnson Terry Rio Cole
Hudlestone
Beckham Gerrard Lennon
Rooney
Defoe
-------------------------------
If it wasn't the world cup, and the referees allowed football to become a contact sport once again, I would consider crouch instead of Defoe. Think he's massively under-rated. The line up is pretty standard, no surprises, although you probably disagree with the goalie again. lol
Edit - In my squad, I would definitely include Delap! - If we're 1 down with ten minutes left, throw him on - his chuck alone would get him a place!
EDIT EDIT - wasnt sure so googled him - HES FLIPPIN IRISH!!!! DOHH
Lol at trying to include Delap! he has got a mighty throw tho!
R.Green
G.Johnson J.Terry R.Ferdinand A.Cole
A.Lennon G.Barry S.Gerrard A.Young
W.Rooney J.Defoe
Fairly simple team, would bring Walcott and Bentley along though as undecided on RM, and i agree Crouch would be on the subs bench, maybe even start as wins alot of balls in the air.....Heskey can stay at home though! lol

Heskey's built like a heavyweight boxer but he goes down more than Monica Lewinsky. He should be bullying defenders all over the place, showing more aggression.
Green Cole Ferdinand Terry Johnson (dont rate him at all but there not much better) Cole (joe) Gerrard Carrick Beckham Rooney Defoe
Thats a team id play, would be tempted to drop defoe tho and play lmapard in midefield, Rooneys been playing so well upfron on his own for united,and gerrard could push up and play Just off him

Haha!...Yea he would be good if he could use his strength, but most refs just give a foul, can hardly touch a player anymore...games turning more into speed than strength nowadays..
TORRES OR DROGBA WAS A CLOSE CALL BUT 100% FIT HE IS PROBABLY THE BEST STRIKER IN THE WORLD. ALSO THE ORIGINAL QUESTION WAS TO PLAY THE SPANISH LEAGUE 11 AND I THINK THIS WOULD HAVE TO BE A TEAM WHO COULD RETAIN THE BALL AND BREAK QUICKLY. DID ANY NON LIVERPOOL FANS PICK MASCHERANO? 17 MILLION FOR ROBBIE SAVAGE WITHOUT THE PEROXIDE AS FOR THE POLL FABREGAS IS HEAD AND SHOULDERS ABOVE THE OTHER 2 NOW AND IS GETTING BETTER THEY ARE PEAKING OR ALREADY HAVE. SHAME THIS IS PROBABLY HIS LAST PREMIER LEAGUE SEASON
