[/ QUOTE ] According to uefa.com, "The players were selected on the strength of their performances for club and country in 2006. " As far as my team being top heavy with World Cup standouts, I agree. World Cup performance was heavily weighted as a personal criterion for me. Others would weigh different factors more heavily. Also, for people criticizing my team chemistry, this isn't the team I would pick if it actually had to play together. I'm not sure exactly who I would choose if this were the case, but I would go with one striker (Henry or Eto'o) and play Ronaldinho as a "10" like how Barcalona uses him. Watching Ronaldinho play in the role he did in Germany makes me want to vomit and/or punch Carlos Alberto Parreira in the face. |

I'm with other posters. I don't see how Kaka and Ronaldinho could co-exist in a 4-man midfield. Perhaps a 4-3-2-1 with Kaka and Ronaldinho as the two attack middies and then either Eto'o or Henry up front.
Edit: Nevermind I didn't even realize that this was for a Pro-Bowl type deal. I thought you were making a team. I'm an idiot. |

The narrow midfield should work with Brazil's wing-back attacking style since it (theoretically) opens the wings for Roberto Carlos and Cafu. I think Brazil's problems in the WC had more to do with using Juninho as a holding midfielder, playing an out of form Ronaldo, and frankly just some bad luck. |
