A world 11? Who will they play, is the fixture home or away, and if the latter, what are the gravitational and atmospheric conditions like? Your Buffons may be all very well swanning around Serie A, but how would they cope with a radiation-lashed Tuesday night on Alpha Centauri?

And Pirlo for Xavi.
Xavi >>>>> Pirlo
Not for me. Not discrediting xavi in any way, but I feel Pirlo had a far bigger influence in games than xavi did. Feel Pirlo is criminally underrated just like iniesta who is a fucking genius.

Nice thread.
Agree with most of the suggestions so far. Not sure I'd call Paolo Maldini overrated though
I would think Nedved would be on the bench, and I really rated Vidic too. And Ledley of course.
A best 11 from the 90s side would also be an interesting choice. Good luck picking the strikers for that one! Maradona, Van Basten, Batistuta, Jurgen, Lineker, Shearer, Shevchenko, Baggio, Raul, Non-greasy Ronaldo...tough competition.
My god there were some amazing attacking players in the 90's
