I'm currently thinking of a lineup that can include Nesta, Lugano, Vidic, Chiellini, T. Silva and De Rossi in defense.
My favorite lineup (of players I've seen) -----------------Buffon------------- Thuram----Nesta----Maldini*----Zambrotta -----------Vieira----Gattuso-------- ---------------Redondo------------- ---------------Totti---------------- -------Sheva------Weah----------- *I rather Maldini as LB, but to be fair I did see him playing more as a CB. Bench:Schmeichel, Billy, Lugano, Makelele, De Rossi, Baggio, Pires, Pirlo, Lampard, Giggs, Rui, Pippo, Drogba. ![]() Brocchi si nasce, campioni si diventa |

Exclusions of Henry are criminal.

This is the best formation I could think of at the top of my head, and it consists of players I have followed since I began to closely observing football, meaning no Van Basten's Maradona's whom I never had the pleasure of watching.

![]() Marchegiani Maldini - Nesta - Thuram - Favalli Albertini - Veron Rui Costa Bergkamp - Baggio Salas Actually it's not my dream XI, just my football heroes. And at least it's still better than Pep's Barca. especially Marcelo Salas.

The number of Buffon's suprises me. Not denying that he is/was an amazing keeper and one of the best ever, but I never knew so many on here considered him THE best (atleast from who they've seen).

It's a shame that i believe most of you guys never seen Lothar Matthäus. He was the most complete midfielder and very versatile player. He can mark, tackle, drive forward, pass, cross and score. Truly MASTER class.

just thinking what a sick team you could make with Italy's 2002 and 06 teams with all the players in their primes...
-----------------Buffon--------------------- --Zambro--Nesta--Cannavaro--Maldini-- -----Gattuso---De Rossi---Pirlo------------ ------------------Totti----------------------- -------Pippo*---------------Del Piero--------- *tossup between him and Vieri, (who is probably the better player overall) but the idea of Pippo's movement withh De Rossi, Pirlo, Totti, and Del Piero passing to him is mouth watering that team would be insanely difficult to beat... ![]() |

Buffon at his best is the undisputed best for me - zero doubts about that. I had seen most of Schmeichel at his prime as well, and he's probably the next in the list. Among players that I've seen, that is.
