Time to Pick Your Team of the Year
By: Martha | December 12th, 2007
2007 is drawing to close a close, which means the trees are going up, gifts are being bought, and massive amounts of alcohol are being consumed. And, most importantly, UEFA are once again selecting their Team of the Year. Woo hoo! Erm.
Yes, it’s just as silly as an other football award (Marek Jankulovski is one of the five best left backs?) but, still. The graphics are cool, and what we think matters, for once. Really the only drawback is that you can’t pick Zlatan as both strikers.
So, go vote, and feel free to come back and let us know your team. Or, if you want to go really crazy, grab a screenshot of your selections and paste a link here. (That’s mine up there. Yes, I know Maldini hardly played.)

I know Totti’s been amazing, I just can’t pick him because he bugs the crap out of me. Shhh, don’t tell anyone.

Cech
Ramos/Vidic/Nesta/Lahm
C.Ronaldo/Pirlo/Kaka/Quaresma
Ibra/TottiCapello.
Totti + Capello? nooo.
But atleast we know they’d win the scudetto.

I do think it is interesting that AC Milan are so heavily represented yet they are doing so abysmally in club play. Go figure.Posted from

I feel like I should put up a disclaimer before my choices…
Disclaimer: I never followed the sport at all (I didn’t even know who Ronaldinho was) until April so I’ve had a lot of catching up to do and still don’t know a whole lot. So based off of what I’ve learned, watched, and read since then I went with the following (so if the choices don’t make sense then that’s why):
Cech
Zambro Vidic Puyol Drenthe
Messi Pirlo Kaká Dicky Quaresma (oh how I miss Greg)
Zlatan TottiRamos
Totti = Captain

Casilias
Ramos/Maldini/Rio/Evra
Ronaldo/Cesc/Kaka’/Giggs
Totti (c)/ZlatlanNot a bad side. Dissapointing to have to leave out L’il Leo and The Dhino but what can you do.

I’m so pleased everyone’s got Zlatan in their teams — loving the Swede love.
(And CRAP, Andrew, Dicky Quaresma was an option?! God damn, I want to redo my team!)

I was about to make my pick:
Casillas
Ramos/Toure/Rio/Evra
Messi/Cesc/Kaka/Giggs
Ruud/VillaAnd I realized… I bet these guys would play HORRIBLY together. Does that matter though?
(p.s. Seeing Drenthe as a choice made me realize how out of control the hype over this kid has gotten. He hasn’t even had a major European Club start yet! The clips they had were all from two different U-21 games, and in one of them he got past his defender, albeit quite spectacularly, but he was our of bounds. I think people just enjoy saying his name.)

John, where is Zlatan?! Did you not read the fine print about him be a requirement?
(I gotta be honest: 50% of the reason I picked Drenthe is because I love that kit. And, I like saying is name.)

Biased much?
Nahhh.
=]
But Pirlo and Kaka absolutely deserve spots, and Pippo, my love, who like someone said, does nothing for 90 minutes, and then comes in and scores in stoppage time and sinks your team of the face of Europe, deserves some recognition, even if he hasn’t done much this season.
But that’s my team for you.Posted from

That’s your team, Martha? Are you fucking kidding me? How do you live with yourself?
Zlatan doesn’t belong on that team. He’s nice, but it’s Ruud and Totti all day every day. Both had at least 10 more goals than Zlatan.
(For an Inter fan you sure like your Rossoneri…)
