Re: So who DOES have the best midfield in the world?
[ QUOTE ]
[ QUOTE ] Czech...Rosicky completely dominated the US and Nedved is nasty as well. I haven't been impressed with any of the other midfields as much as I have with theirs. [/ QUOTE ] Heh. Might be a hasty judgment to assume they are the best because they had a very good game against the US. [/ QUOTE ] True. But whenever the announcers in the game would say "Rosicky" I would always think they were saying "ysscky" and giggle. |

If you included backups I would have to go with Spain

Re: So who DOES have the best midfield in the world?
[ QUOTE ]
[ QUOTE ] England has the best central midfield - Gerrard and Lampard are in the top 10 players in the world. Cole is OK but not amazing. Beckham is gash and should not be starting (would prefer Lennon or Wright-Phillips right now). [/ QUOTE ] how/why do people make assinine statements like this? [/ QUOTE ] Because they have seen all of the above players play, have concluded that Beckham is not the best option, and are not swayed by the fact he has a big reputation and pretty hair? |

Re: So who DOES have the best midfield in the world?
[ QUOTE ]
On paper England may have the best midfield on papaer but untill Lamps and Stevie G sort out how to play together it can not be the best in the world. [/ QUOTE ] I agree with this to some extent. Getting the most out of Stevie G and Lampard would need a tactical switch, as neither is well suited to playing the holding role. E.g. Carrick holding, with Gerrard, Lampard and Cole pushing forward. Something that adventurous is obviously beyond our bespectacled Swedish friend however... |

Re: So who DOES have the best midfield in the world?
The Czech are being incredibly overrated.
I voted for England but they need to sort out how to use Gerrard and Lampard together (as others have said). |

I cannot believe Nedvad wasn't going to play (retired) for the Czech side. He looked so good in the match v USA

Re: So who DOES have the best midfield in the world?
it's england or spain. mexico should be up there too. brazil has a lot of talent in their midfield, but they lack a ball winner and ronaldinho is overrated (he's top 10 in the world, but he's near the bottom of the 10). most people forget it was considered an upset when he beat out lampard for euro/world player of the year.

[/ QUOTE ] just so we're clear on this: because he was an upset to win the prize for world player of the year, he should be thought of as the 8th-10th best midfielder in the world? |

I can't see how you can say Ronalidinho is not at least in the top 3 (with Henry and Gerrard)
