Ok, not sure if this has been done before, but in lieu of Man U and Liverpool's recent tours I thought it might be interesting to see what dream teams people could put together based on players from any era they have seen play in the flesh. Lets make it close to realistic formations, player positions and a 5 man bench.
Think of players when they were at their peak, so for instance Jardel or Romario may be in your squad based on seeing them in the A-League but included on past glories.

My team----------------------Mark Schwarzer
----------Lauren--------Rio Ferdinand--------Lucio----------Ashley Cole
----------------------Cesc Fabregas---------Patrick Vieira
----------Juninho Paulista-------------------------------Ronaldinho
--------------------------Dennis Bergkamp
------------------------------------Samuel Eto'o

Jens Lehmann
Robin van Persie
Patrice Evra
Alvaro Recoba
Alessandro Del Piero

Benjamin would win this thread hands down :lol:

Messi & Gerard are in my team somewhere.

Steve Eagleton

Terry McFlynn.

/thread.

Viduka

Seeing as my footballing team would be just a Celtic/Liverpool comibination, thought I'd do something different.

Matthew Hayden
Graeme Smith
Brian Lara
Sachin Tendulkar
Steve Waugh
Jacques Kallis
Kumar Sangakkara
Shaun Pollock
Shane Warne
Muttiah Muralitharan
Glenn McGrath

EDIT: Forgot I saw the World XI play.

Saw manure play socceroos back in the 90s.

Have seen most socceroos squads since

Saw netherlands play socceroos

Seen every notable hal player

My list would be more exciting if we were doing "who have you played with and against"

The best footballer I've seen would be Darren Lockyer.

Pfft, I saw Torres score.

Pfft I've seen Bale, Drogba, Lampard, Ramires, Malouda and Mata score at Wembly

I think you're kind of missing the point, but okay :lol:

I know but I couldn't help myself. ;)

Best of what I seen at Old Trafford. Did go to a game when Cantona played but can't remember too much of watching him that game.

I've seen Marilyn Manson fuckup an entire concert.

-PB

Who hasn't these days? I mean, the last time he played in Australia he got booed off stage in Brisbane, Sydney and Melbourne.

I've seen Messi, get on my level etc.

Hayden
Cook
Ponting
Tendulkar
Lara
Kallis
Gilchrist
Warne
Steyn
Akhtar (the most terifying spell of bowling I will ever see)
McGrath

I hope those who left out Ponting never saw him in the flesh.

Best footballer I've seen would be Andrew Johns. I was at his last SOO game at Suncorp and he controlled a sporting field like no one I have ever seen, or will probably see in my lifetime. He had 50,000 people screaming for his blood and he thrived on it.

My football team would look pretty weak and would only consist of Socceroo/A-League players

Desmond Haynes
Gordon Greenidge
Sachin Tendulkar
David Gower
Dean Jones
Viv Richards
Adam Gilchrist
Dennis Lillee
Malcolm Marshall
Shane Warne
Curtly Ambrose
Terry Alderman


Reserves
Richard Hadlee
Ian Botham
Allan Border
Brian Lara
Jeff Thompson
Joel Garner
Jacques Kallis
Jeffrey Dujon
Clive Lloyd
Mark Waugh

I just couldn't be bothered to work out the whole team :lol:
Also saw RvP score his 100th for arsenal

I'm actually shocked at the lack of Messi in this thread, considering that he played at the MCG in 2007.
