Let me do the Aussie one, i guess it is worth a few laughs:

Mark Schwarzer

Joe Martson-Craig Moore- Lucas Neil- Alan Davidson,

Johnny Warren- Tim Cahill-Ned Zelic- Harry Kewell

Ray Baartz - Mark Viduka

Jay,

Fernando Couto with Vitor Baia in goal!!

Thinking Paulo Ferraira should be right back.

Ricardo Carvalho can go in as a possibility as well.

I was thinking Ferraira and Carvalho, purely because I can't think of any other Portuguese defenders

pepe
coentrao

after that i'm stuck too

from then on though they have had some top quality.

ronaldo, rui costa, figo, eusebio to name a few.

Surprised no one has done a Dutch one yet, they have had some absolutely brilliant players.

======================

how can you forget Fernando Couto, such a classy defender!

Don't knock Australia! Italy cheated in the last minute to get a penalty into the quarters in 2006 (the year they won it).
Had we not had the refs shaft us we would have won it.

You wouldn't happen to be JohnJensen by any chance?

ROI would stuff the Nordeners every day of the week

Best would make fools out of that defence. He'd get them drunk beforehand and then run rings around them.

Imagine George Best and Paul McGrath in the bar together Looks like it is 10 a-side...

I was having a similar discussion to this the other day with a colleague, best 11s of all time. Managed a fairly decent squad until he put Fabregas in.
