Team Of The Year 2012

Named at the World Football Awards:

Iker Casillas in goal, Dani Alves, Gerard Pique, Sergio Ramos and Marcelo, in defence, Xabi Alonso, Xavi and Andres Iniesta in midfield and Messi, Radamel Falcao and Cristiano Ronaldo in attack

All La Liga players, none of them British.

Yet Swansea fans still claim the Premiership is best league in the world.

bit of a joke really, looks like fifa delegates dont step out of spain

Defense being all La liga is pretty rediculous. Also not sure how Xavi or Xabi Alonso got in. Think Kompany deserves to be in after last year and probably Pirlo after Juves season last year.

just one player who don't play for real and barca

Very odd

Marcelo is s***e compared to Kompany.

Always a popularity contest with stuff like this

Personally would have picked

--------------------neuer---------------------

lahm ------kompany------pique-------alves

messi-------iniesta----di rossi------ronaldo

-----------falcao-----van persie-----------

obviously know fack all about football

Marcelo is s***e compared to Kompany.

not really valid.... Marcelo is an attacking LB, company is a big CB.

I do agree though, the best team in the world can't be made up of players in the Spanish league because it isnt competative enough.

England, Italy, France are all more competitive because there is a feeling that anyone can beat anyone on their day.

Messi and Ronaldo would still be the best players in the world if they played in the Prem, but would Marcelo, Alves, Ramos and Casillas be in that team if they played for Arsenal, Liverpool or Chelsea?

Who know? My guess would be no though.

Kompany, Hart, Aguero, v Persie, Rooney, Ramires and Mata should all have had more of a mention in my opinion but thats football isnt it!?
