You play like Reis that means you miss those easy close shots. Naw Im just kidding M.Reis is one of the best goalkeepers in the MLS if not the best. But the reason why I made that joke was that performance against Joe Republic which we all know N.E. wanted to lose that game to concentrate more for the MLS Playoffs, but matt didnt have to make it so obvious.

Plus Im glad he didnt go to Europe like those other sellouts T.Perkins and Adin Brown he made the right choice. Because even with him still in the MLS hes still in the top 5 of GK's that are still active to play for the U.S. Mens team.

i agree with Ramos, Ferdinand, Terry, Kaka & Torres.
Messi playing in the hole i would agree with, but the rest is NONSENSE
You also said 11 players & never included a GK so Cech & Buffon maybe Van der Sar aswell

why is everybody so hung up on Terry? He has no touch. Where is Pirlo? Where is cannavaro? Where is Ballack? Where is Ibramovich? Where is Puyol?

Ferdinand is crap. Evra is over-rated. And if you even think Gerrard is in the top 11, you are insane.

Dude it says favourite players, not best. But I've got to disagree with you. Rio Ferdinand may also be the best centre back in the world, he is fast, strong, can pick out passes and has good touch. He played in midfield a lot as a youngster. Puyol is Barca's Terry, they are almost identical, block everything play on guts type players.

And hey, I put big Zlat in my side and Gerrard is immense. No player means as much to his team as Stevie G
