I think I've stuck to the rules. Also no rags or dippers (personal rules). Tried to pick a balanced team though it may be a touch forward thinking.

Puyol (Spain)
Marquez (Mexico)
Boban (Croatia)
Gascoigne (England)
Zidane (France)
Maradona (Argentina)
Ronaldinho (Brazil)
Gullitt (Netherlands)

Subs: Chilavert (Paraguay), Popescu (Romania), Essien (Ghana), Iniesta (Spain), Scifo (Belgium), Stoichkov (Bulgaria), Boniek (Poland)
 
Higuita (Columbia)
Baresi (Italy)
Petrescu (Romania)
Puyol (Spain)
Ratcliffe (Wales)
Platini (France)
Gascoigne (England)
Sanchez (Mexico)
Zico (Brazil)
Bergkamp (Holland)
Klinsmann (Germany)

Great thread blue.

I'm only going with players I've seen and enjoyed - not necessarily the best. Also adding my own rule of no United or Liverpool players. Cause fuck'em, that's why.

Following by those rules, my team be something like this - and I think tactically this would work:

GK: Tim Howard (US) - I know, just let me have this

RB: Philip Lahm (Germany)
RCB: Sol Cambell (England)
LCB: Paolo Maldini (Italy)
LB: Christian Chivu (Romania)

CDM: Claude Makele (France)
CM: Pavel Nedved (Czech Republic)
CM: Xavi (Spain)

LW: Gareth Bale (Wales)
RW: Luis Figo (Portugal)
CF: Ronaldo (Brazil)

Bench:
Rene Higuita (Colombia)
Branislav Ivanovic (Serbia)
Michael Essien (Ghana)
Zinedine Zidane (France)
Dennis Bergkamp (Holland)
Didier Drogba (Ivory Coast)
Esteban Cambiasso (Argentina)

Give me the full 25 and trying to keep it somewhat balanced, I'm adding: Stephan Lichsteiner, (Switzerland), Srna (Croatia), Forlan (Uruguay), Misimovic (Bosnia), Rafa Marquez (Mexico), Eto'o (Cameroon), Henrik Larssen (Sweden)

I am kicking myself I could not find a way for Pirlo, Kaka, or Ronaldinho in this team.

Works fine for me, presume you've Boban as the deepest midfielder who's quite attacking, but you've Lahm, Marquez and Puyol all who could step into midfield and cover.
