World XI challenge...

Seen this going around twitter. Thought it would keep some of us busy.

Pick your world XI past or present but no two players can have played for the same club or country.

    Leaving out Cristiano or Best will be tough! 

    So difficult because at least 2/3 will have to be world class players who didn’t play for a top club. Someone like Pele fits that but then no other Brazilians.

    Yashin, 
    Lahm, Moore
    Gullit, Valderrama
    Messi, Pele, Ronaldo

    I'm stuck!

    EDIT:

    Yashin
    Lahm, Moore, Baresi, Van Dijk, Capdevila
    Valderrama, Kante
    Messi, Pele, Ronaldo

    That's my attempt so far!

    I’ve had a few attempts but it starts getting stupid when you get to 8 or 9 players.

    Inter Milan have been a pain in the arse.

                         Yashin
    Suurbier - Moore - Beckenbaeur - Maldini 
      Dalglish - Zidane - Laudrup(M) - Best
                  Pele - Maradona

    Probably doubling in clubs there - it was hard enough picking 11 nationalities!!

      Dalglish - Zidane - Laudrup(M) - Best
                  Pele - Maradona

    How's that? Can't take Pele out and need a German centre half!

    Think mine would look something like this: 

    Cech 
    Lahm, Van Dijk, Ramos, Maldini
    Keane, Zidane, Gerrard 
    Messi, Ronaldo, Ronaldo

    or Schmeichel for Cech!

    Thuram Cannavaro Vidic Lahm
    Xavi Keane Sneijder
    Messi Ronaldo Ronaldo

    Maybe Iniesta for Xavi?

    Good calls forgot about Vidic especially. Still think I would go Gerrard over Sneijder easily.

    Zanetti, Jorge Costa, Koulibaly, Lahm 
    Nedved, Hierro, Dunga, Giggs
    Totti, Suarez

    Alves.   Beckenbauer V Dijt. Alba
    Best.   Zidane  Charlton Ronaldo
                 Messi   Puskas

    Difficult cos would they gel together?  Doubt anyone will pick a water carrier.

    Buffon, C Ronaldo and Zidane clash there. Also Alves and Messi, Best and Charlton, plus Ronaldo (sorry).

    One club men and South Americans were my go-tos.

    I'm guessing the reason our crap keeper from Belgium is on some people's lists is that he was actually a RB rather than a stopper?

    Both from South America, one Brazil, the other Argentina. Problem?  Not good enough?
