We all are done with the FIFA world cup 2006, which can go down in history one of the most surprising Soccer world cups.Italy winning the cup meant happiness for me, being the very rare species of indians who supported Italy as the favourites...but for millions it was like a volcano erupting under their seats.
Suprise Surprise and surprise everywhere!!!!! France who looked like getting wiped away in the 1st round reached the finals outta the blue defeating ....WHOM??? hehehe BOre Champions Brazil.
This is my 2nd review and I decided to jott down for you eleven footballers..XI magicians who can turn the game upside down and The right side up! So here we go....
The starting XI
Gianluigi Buffon(GK) : The costliest goalkeeper in the world 2day and for the right reasons.His reflexes & awarness makes him the best of his class.
Fabio Cannovaro(RB) : Owing of the abscence of Nesta in the world cup he took the torch from him & helped Italy win the cup.
Roberto Carlos(RCB) : He is capable of giving his best in the toughest of situations..although his game lacklustre this time..Carlos deserves a place in the world XI..still being the one of the best defenders who took birth in this planet.
Jaap Stam(LCB) : The best defender Netherlands has & had till date & he snatched his place in the world XI.
Rio Ferdinand(LB) : He is arguably the best defender in the world today....he has proved his worth one too many times & is capable of doing that again & again.
Zinedine Zidane(RCB) : He is a living legend and his skills with the ball makes him the best player in the world. He is also famous for his headbutt & that made his last match memorable.
David Beckham(CM) : Bend it like Beckham what else can be said about him...he kills other players with his skills & kills the ladies with his looks.
Christiano Ronaldo(LCM) : This young energy "swift" "agile" "accurate" can speed up and bring pace in a dying game.And, lolz what can be said about his acting skills?? deserves a place in the XI without any doubt.
Francesco Totti(CF) : "The God Of Roman Football" he is young and ferocious. He is capable of playing both in midfeild & forward. He was the most accurate player in the world cup.
Raul(RS): The spanish assasin whos deadly touch to the ball can leave even the best goalkeeper stranded with his head down with disgust.
Miroslav Klose(LS): He delivered his best in this world cup & he has just started.He scored the highest number of goals in this world cup & and with that he gets a place in the starting XI.
