Your greatest modern day team

Just watching BBC Personality award, and saw Zidane & Beckham straight off
And i thought how class it would be to have both of those in the same team?
So i wondered what'd be your modern day team

By modern day i mean like going back to the Zidane era, Totti and the likes

So i just tried googling the greatest team and come across this:

Zidane and Beckham were in the same team though
And I never liked that team.

Oh sh*t yeh! haha
Well you kinda got my drift anyway

Play the game Dexter

Have watched football for 40 years and I think that Zinedine Zindane is the player that I have enjoyed watching the most in my lifetime.  Hence, any side with him is in fine by me.

I think Theirry Henry has to be in the strike force!

So I just tried googling the greatest team and come across this:

No coincidence there!

               Casillas

 Thuram   Nesta  Cannavaro  Carlos

 C. Ronaldo  Zidane  Gerrard  Figo

           Messi    Ronaldo

Real Ronaldo, what a F***ing goal machine that man was. He had it all, I F***ing loved that man. Performed on every stage, at every club, scored ridiculously good goals.

And another Brazilian, Rivaldo has got to be in there, the technical ability of that man and what he could do with a ball was ridiculous.

Zidane is a given, one of my favourite footballers.

And another personal favourite of mine was Marc Overmars, really thought he was a great player!

Chilavert
Cafu Nesta Maldini Carlos
Makelele Laudrup
Messi Zidane Hagi
Ronaldo

Is Hagi too old for this hypothetical modern day team?

                             Buffon
           Arce - Gamarra - Hierro - Maldini
                            Redondo
                   Messi - Zidane - Rivaldo
                     Ronaldo - Romário

A lot of good players to choose from but off the top of my head:

                                     Buffon

      Zanetti            Nesta             Cannavarro          Maldini

                            Gerrard           Redondo

          Messi                    Zidane                 C Ronaldo

                                      Henry

                      Casillas

Zanetti   Cannavaro  Maldini  R. Carlos

                 Xavi     Gerrard

        Messi       Zidane      Ronaldinho

                      Henry

Seaman

Zanetti   Maldini   Puyol   R.Carlos

Makelele

Zidane       Xavi

Messi                        Ronaldinho

Ronaldo

               Casillas
Zanetti Maldini Hyypia Carlos
          Gerrard Zidane
              C.Ronaldo
      Ronaldo Henry Messi

Casillas

Cafu        Maldini        Ayala       Roberto Carlos

Davids        Xavi

Messi           Zidane           Henry

Ronaldo

Buffon
D.Alves Puyol  Maldini R.Carlos
Essien  Xavi
Messi  Zidane  Ronaldinho
Ronaldo

                                                 Buffon

Cafu                    Maldini                        Cannavaro                            Carlos

                       Xavi                    Pirlo                      Zidane

    Messi                                       Henry                             Ronaldinho
                                       

In my eyes, Fernando Redondo was the best defensive midfielder of all time. I'm surprised only me and srslfc have mentioned him.

See if we can get a forum based team

So which keeper could we all settle on?
Buffon & Casillas seem the 2 most mentioned
So which?

In my eyes, Fernando Redondo was the best defensive midfielder of all time. I'm surprised only me and srslfc have mentioned him.

Agree.

Redondo was one of my favourite players when he was playing. Excellent player.

                             Schmeichel
Cafu          Cannavaro           Lucio         Lizarazu
                             Redondo
                  Xavi                    Zidane
       Ronaldo            Henry            Messi

I haven't see much of Redondo to be able to name him in my side, although i know he was one of the best.

I probably should of put Ayala in for Puyol, too.

I love Redondo with a passion. He was just sublime. Maybe it can be the effect he had on me as a child watching football, and I am a nostalgic person at times, but I see him as the very best.

Somtimes I go on youtube just watch some of his videos. There's one of his plays at Old Trafford I'll never forget, shame I can't go on youtube here at work, but look for it there and I'm sure you'll find.

Just saw the video of him shitting all over Berg. That was absolutely brilliant.
