Actually not sure who would've won; the first-team or the subs I picked. The first-team would probably win because of having more defensive cover though. Somehow I felt obliged to put some Dutch players in the team, although I really didn't feel like it.

Boateng

Oh btw Cinnabon your first side is almost definitely better, mostly because they have an extra man ;)

i have been going all nuts with the editing so must have happened sometime without me knowing it. your side is great btw. only change i would have made is mertesacker out.

been going nuts with the editing because i can't get myself to seperate between having a great tournament and being a great player

Everyone picking Casillas, purely on reputation surely? He's been very poor this tournament, looks so unsure all the time. :D

Definitely wouldn't say that.

Made a crucial penalty save in the Paraguay game. Made one or two handy blocks in the Portugal one and hasn't conceded a goal in the knockout stages.

To me that seems pretty good.

Surprised to see Sneijder is alot of the teams. I don't think he's been particularly outstanding this WC. Yeah he's scored 5 but two of those were deflections and another was awful goalkeeping.
