I realise I'm a wee bit sharp with this and that if van Persie scores a hat trick; I'm going to look a right prick, but here goes for my team of the tournament:
GK Eduardo (Portugal)
RB Lahm (Germany)
LB Salcido (Mexico)
CH Bruno Alves (Portugal)
CH Lucio (Brazil)
MF Xavi (Spain)
MF Iniesta (Spain)
MF Sneijder (Holland)
MF Φzil (Germany)
FW Villa (Spain)
FW Klose (Germany)
No space for Forlan, Gyan, Schweinsteiger or Robben; which is pretty ridiculous really. Anyway, I've gone for players that I have been impressed with and enjoyed watching.
Does anyone think that they could better that team?

No a bad team mate.
I liked the look of the Nigerian goaly..Just a shame he's in a pish team..And the Paraguayan LB looked the bees kness (Now a Wigan player ? )..

The boy Salcedo for Mexico was immense, wouldnt bet against seeing him in the prem eventually.
The most steriotypical mexican man, shaved head, gold teeth, the name carlos etc... a true hispanic gang man

Salcido has been great for 3 tournaments now. Used to really enjoy watching him, Osorio and Marquez as the most attacking back 3 you'll ever see.
For me Godin (centre half, not captain) and Ferreira (right back) have been unsung heroes for Uruguay.

Thats pretty good Originally Posted by hibee-shtuggie
