    Votes from non draft participants will not be counted, so don't bother.

    READ THIS FIRST:

    Once your team is ready, post your line up in here and any tactics you'd employ in this match. Once both teams are up, I'll put up the poll.

    You can vote for yourself (votes for your own team should eliminate each other out) or you can vote against yourself to end your misery quicker. Up to you.

    Votes from non-draft participants won't be counted, so don't bother.

    Finally, rather than just voting, it would be good if people could justify why they think a particular team would win. :50:

    Keano's team is excellent, with some of the best players of all time, but so is mine.

    I think I have the better goalie.

    His defence is stronger overall, no question. But that doesn't make mine bad, mine is still at a very high level.

    With Matthaus and Xavi as my two CM's, I think I'd win the midfield battle.

    Messi > Maradonna.

    Jairzinho > Best

    Cruyff > Ronaldinho

    Pele > Muller

    I think my attack is stronger.

    So other than defence, I believe my team is stronger.

    Messi isn't better than Maradona.. :giggle1: when Messi propels Argentina to World Cup triumph and another final almost single handed then he can say he's better.

    Hard to judge Best as he's limited by country of birth..

    Xavi and Matthaus behind Messi tho.. wow.

    Very close this.

    Lets just say there are 4 players I would take from Mintys team.

    Yashin
    Zanetti - Scirea - Maldini - Facchetti
    Beckenbauer - Matthaus
    Messi
    - Maradona - Cruyff
    Pele

    Scirea is a player who kept Baresi out of the Italian the team, partnered with Maldini.. amazing.

    Another hard one to call.

    Minty has the best keeper.

    Keano has undoubtedly the best back 4 and two deep midfielders.

    Minty's forward line is just ridiculous though.

    George Best is the worst player in both teams, so that might just come in to play in my decision.

    I'll have to think hard about this one...

    That's not how it works, unfortunately.

    Beckenbauer not in his strongest position either. Xavi is a better midfielder than Beckenbauer was.

    It's a tough one alright, as good as keano88 defence is I think minty front line would run amok against any team. Not voting yet tho. Want to see if anyone has anything else to say

    Beckenbauer was as good a DM as a SW, the guy could play anywhere and still be top class.

    &

    If we're talking about players not in their best position, then Maradona was a better 10 than Messi is..
