World cup Group stages dream team

[Sooda]

Few matches to go tomorrow of course, but who would feature in your XI based on players form thus far in the WC A front line of Messi, James Rodriguez, Neymar roaming behind Benzema - mouthwatering. But then where do you fit Robben! Uruguay captain Godin would feature surely, the Mexico goalkeeper. The left back from Costa Rica - Diaz I think... Jermaine Jones of the US in midfield...

[yoda]

Neymar, Messi, Muller, Robben, Mexican Goalkeeper + 6 other random guys from other teams

Ochoa Rojo -- Godin -- Marquez--- R.Rodriquez Robben-- Pjanic-- J.Rodriquez-- Neymar Messi- Muller 12th man: Benzema

Any team that is without Michael Bradley is not a team.

Playing 4-4-2 in this day and age You all are David Moyes, I am like Diego Simeone, tactical genius :proud: Your team will get shat on by mine :hehe:

Coming from the guy whos got a half fit Ronaldo (Cuadrado, J Rodrigeuz, Robben have all had much better WC's ) youve just gone for name/rep and not WC form :P Also Your midfield is incredibly lightweight. Lahm is the only holding player he will get swamped. Neymar drifting in from the left vs Alves your right back- no contest there

Have you seen the stats :hehe: 1. Most distance covered on the ball 1,2,3 are all German players. Kroos, Lahm, Muller (my midfield), Muller can play anywhere, mid or forward. My team has an awesome midfield engine. 2. Kroos has 90% pass completion, 3rd most complete passes in the competition, Lahm has 90% pass completion, 2nd most complete passes in the competition. Good luck getting the ball :hehe: Pass completion: http://www.fifa.com/worldcup/statistics/players/passes.html Distance covered (adjust to distance on possession to see what Im talking about) http://www.fifa.com/worldcup/statistics/players/distance.html Im a genius :hatsoff::aetsch:

Stats dont show that Lahm had a poor game vs Ghana, the best attacking team in their group. Once Portugal became 10 men it was a non event and USA I didnt watch tbh, do not have real attacking flair like Algeria would IMO, will be a stern test of his still new position of midfield. In fact - its too late now- but Low could have played him at LB and started Schweini in central mid. Had Sven Bender or Ilkay Gundogan been fit they would have started Im sure. Howedes is just not a LB. I thought Erik Durm would have played but Low probably rightly gone for experience
