Damm didn't realise that bit and left out Cantona who would be in ahead of Rooney regardless.

For clarification, what classes as foreign for the purposes of the team?

Are the rest of the UK included?

Schmeichael
Zabaleta Stam Vidic Evra
Ronaldo Vieria Petit Pires
Cantona Henry

Really struggled for a right back and a 2nd centre midfielder.

For Laughs home nations team:
Seaman
Neville, Ferdinand, Adams, Irwin
Beckham, Keane, Scholes, Giggs
Rooney, Shearer

All time

Schmeichael
Neville, Ferdinand, Stam, Irwin
Ronaldo, Keane, Scholes, Giggs
Cantona, Henry

Reckon the home nation side would prob win in a tournament!

Some properly blinkered people on these forums.

Zabaleta?

Sorry I'm going to laugh myself back to the boxing board.

Sorry I didn't realise Rep of Ireland couldn't be used. I'll substitute Dennis Irwin for Benoit Assou-Ekotto and keep Evra on my bench.

Bacary Sagna isn't one of the best premiership right backs. It seems these responses forget the 1992 - 1998 Timeframe.

Jeff Kenna was a belting left back. Phillipe Albert, Vegard Heggem, Lauren, Kvame, Zenden, Nilsson all great players - some better than Evra. Who was that Cameroon guy (not Lauren) who was awesome....I forget.

Seems that theres a trend that everyone has to pick post 1998. Bear in mind some of the best most competitive football was way back in the mid 90's.

Hated being a Liverpool fan back then though. Not as much as it hurst now, but still.

Who? Petrescu was ok but more of a wing back or even midfielder.

Ok, seen your list. Heggem was ok, Nillson was a good RB as was Lauren although I rate Sagna above these two, going forward.

As I said, hardly worth a lol.

Didn't realise you were so sensitive I'll tone down my posts for you in future. With regards to your earlier post I think you have to take into consideration some people may not be as familiar with the 1990s as some others so tend to pick more recent players, not to mention they are likely to be fresher in the mind.

Albert Ferrer was a very good RB but he didn't play that long in the EPL.

Carvalho?

Carvalho was the rock at the back for Chelsea's most successful period and the team has been dogged by defensive problems since he left. Anybody who can make John Terry seem world-class has got to be one of the best.

I'm up for a laugh mate, feel free to rib me all you like on the boxing board but over here its not something they'll understand.

Sagna is a good right back, but he just isn't good enough to make a premiership foreign list, I perhaps shouldn't lol at his inclusion, because as you say going forward he is the best at the moment, but historically, you mention Petrescu, who I'd have in my team before Sagna all day.

Gallas or Carvalho?

Carvalho was the rock at the back of the most successful Premier League winning side ever, getting more points and conceding less goals than anybody else in 2004/5...I think that's pretty damn good.

The full back positions are very difficult to choose, Sagna is probably the best current Arsenal defender and is very very good going forward, his final ball for instance is at times superb, not a terrible shout at all.

Too soon to really mention Kompany alongside the likes of Stam or Hyypia but a million miles ahead of Skrtel (not even the best foreign centre back currently at liverpool.

I see people trying to shoe horn in their favourite players into formations that just wouldn't work.

The topic is the best team so it should really reflect that, i.e. not having 2 wingers in a 3 man midfield.

Right back seems to be the probem position, as does the 2nd centre midfielder. Plenty of good choices for every other position.

John Arne Riise

Best foreign left back of the past 10 years. Not as good as Irwin, but better than Evra. Evra is just solid, Riise was epic.

C.Ronaldo, Vieira, Fabregas, Pires.

Unlucky to miss out: Zola, Ginola, Ljungberg, Vidic, Nilsson, and Van Nistelrooy.
