The Kiwi keeper was pretty awesome. Like how the fk did New Zealand get through group stage undefeated?! Amazing effort.

Oh and i hope just missing out in your XI was HONDAAAAAAAAAA

Higuain that scored 3 times, Fabiano that scored two times, Ronaldo 3 times Portugal's man of the match , maybe Switzerland keeper Bonaglio two clean sheets , Donovan two goals and Dempsey 2 goals one dissallowed 1 bar one assist , Gyan two goals, Sjneider 1 goal 1 assist, Drogba 1 goal 1 assist and Etoo two goals , Kaka 4 assists, and yes Honda 2 goals 1 assist, maybe Mascherano for his defensive work, John Terry for his defensive work.

@ Joey: Yeah that's true Paston was pretty sick, could have easily picked him. Honda too, but he had pretty tough competition in his position.

@ Ultras: Luis Fabiano almost made it, but I wasn't all that impressed with Higuain. He scored a hatrick of tap ins yes, but his all round play wasn't exceptional comparatively. There's more to football than stats (ie. Gyan with two penalties doesn't really mean much).

what about Maicon on the right side? And definitely Donovan

yeah ultrasPNT pretty results orientated imo.

pretty reasonable 11 i'd say. obv impossible job when hundreds played and you have to narrow it down to 11

other decent shouts are perez/arrevalo rios in DMF for uruguay. the uruguay keeper didn't concede a goal, but wasn't tested that much i suppose.

ozil has been great for germany

also funny no brazilians in the team. they have crept under the radar haven't they. maicon should be there instead of isla imo, gilberto silva has had a great WC also

Yeah obviously Maicon is the best right back in the world, but he didn't necessarily stand out specifically for his group stage performances. Isla was maybe a niche choice, but I was particularly impressed having never seen him play previously.

(I did take Lucio as my token Brazilian)

As for Donovan, he was just unlucky in playing the same position as Alexis Sanchez who has been a real stand out for me so far.

niman kenkre at bfp did something similiar http://www.bluefirepoker.com/blog.aspx?blogid=30
I did the same thing with some buddys of mine and we nearly came to the same conclusion as you did, exchange isla with lahm/maicon and de jong/wtih schweinsteiger/perez and there you are, cb lucio was also discussed, but tbh no cb besides grichting really catched my eye
