Titolo: Best 11 per SI

BERLIN -- So here it is: My World Cup Best XI (subject to change depending 
on this weekend's games).
Goalkeeper: Gianluigi Buffon, Italy
Well, this should end any debate over who's the best goalkeeper on the 
planet. It's not just that Gigi has allowed no opposing player to score on 
him in the World Cup; he also has an aura about him that scares the pants 
off most forwards.
Runner-up: Jens Lehmann, Germany.
Right back: Gianluca Zambrotta, Italy
The Ben Affleck twin barely gets the nod over France's Willy Sagnol thanks 
to a slightly bigger role in his team's attack. Zambrotta wasn't even 
assured of playing when this World Cup started, but he has oozed class each 
and every minute.
Runner-up: Sagnol.
Centerback: Fabio Cannavaro, Italy
Cannavaro may be the MVP of this World Cup. Playing without his normal 
partner Alessandro Nesta, our favorite John Starks fan has kept the 
Azzurri's back line impregnable. What's most amazing about watching 
Cannavaro in person is how he makes up for his lack of height with a sick 
leaping ability that allows him to reach balls in the air before taller 
center forwards.
Runner-up: John Terry, England.
Centerback: Lilian Thuram, France
Which creaky 34-year-old has been more instrumental in France's astonishing 
run to the final: Zinédine Zidane or Thuram? It's hard to say. Both have 
been brilliant in this tournament, rescuing a team that floundered without 
them during World Cup qualifying.
Runner-up: Ricardo Carvalho, Portugal.
Left back: Philipp Lahm, Germany
From the tournament's first game, when Lahm hit a cracking goal from long 
range, he has been a revelation. I could have easily given this to Italy's 
Fabio Grosso, who scored the magical game-winner against Germany, but I'm 
penalizing him for his blatant dive in the box that sank Australia.
Runner-up: Grosso.
Defensive midfielder: Michael Essien, Ghana
I know, I know, Essien only played in three games. But he was an absolute 
rock in all three, and his undeserved yellow-card suspension made a huge 
difference in the Black Stars' elimination to Brazil.
Runner-up: Patrick Vieira, France.
Attacking central midfielder: Zinédine Zidane, France
Could Zizou have asked for any more of a fairy-tale ending to his 
magnificent career? Not if he can lead Les Bleus to its second World Cup on 
Sunday.
Runner-up: Juan Román Riquelme, Argentina.
Right midfielder: Franck Ribery, France
Amazingly, the 23-year-old Marseille star had never played for France before 
this World Cup. You sure can't tell by watching him. A mesmerizing dribbler 
with pace and imagination, Ribery will be a Les Bleus stalwart for years to 
come.
Runner-up: Maxi Rodríguez, Argentina.
Left midfielder: Joe Cole, England
One of the few England players who didn't disappoint, Cole scored perhaps 
the best goal of the World Cup against Sweden.
Runner-up: Cristiano Ronaldo, Portugal.
Forward: Miroslav Klose, Germany
The favorite to win the Golden Boot with five goals, Klose has been a lethal 
finisher for Deutschland at the past two World Cups.
Runner-up: Ronaldo, Brazil.
Forward: Hernán Crespo, Argentina
It's a sign of the generally poor finishing in this tournament that Crespo 
would make the list, but if France's Thierry (I've Been Offside 587 Times) 
Henry has a good game on Sunday he'll take over this spot instead.
Runner-up: Henry.
Coach: Guus Hiddink, Australia
Not much you can do but tip your cap to the Dutch master, whose last three 
World Cup include two semifinal runs (with Holland and South Korea) and a 
second-round trip with the Socceroos (which might even be more impressive 
than the first two achievements).
Runner-up: Marcello Lippi, Italy.

Nel momento in cui viene tolto dal Best11 Fabio Grosso, l'uomo più
decisivo del mondiale, tutti gli altri non hanno senso.

Sai gli americani ci tengono alla lealtà sportiva e non hanno perdonato a 
Grosso il rigore contro l'Australia.
Ciao Tamme 

 perdonato a Grosso il rigore contro l'Australia.
Ma per piacere!
Grosso, lanciato in piena corsa, si ritrova tra i piedi un cristiano che 
certamente non voleva fare fallo, ma procura lo stesso un danno.
Lealtà sportiva... e poi magari Zidane Nobel per la pace...

Sarebbe credibile senza questo: Attacking central midfielder: Zinédine

Infatti.

 Zidane, France
Evidentemente il caro Zinedine Capatosta gode di privilegi che agli umani
non sono concessi (vedi anche premio Fifa)

Il premio Fifa a Zidane infatti è uno schiaffo al fair play.
Ciao Tamme

E' evidente... che ci siano giocatori che si possono permettere ogni
nefandezza ed altri che non possono manco respirare si sa da tempo.
