When you commit one of the dumber fouls in football and get yourself suspended for your teams penultimate game on the way to the title, you do not deserve to make a best XI.

Where's James???

You can make an argument for Ochoa and Howard at GK, but it's tough to disagree with Neuer.

Rodriguez, Sanchez, Benzema, Neymar, etc had a better showing than Klose. I feel like he put him there simply because he broke The Ronaldo's record.

It's hard only pick 4 defenders, but I have no problem with the ones chosen.

Also hard to argue against the midfielders.

Not bad, but I like my 11 better:

GK - Neuer

RB - Lahm
CB - Vlaar
CB - Hummels
LB - Blind

MF - Mascherano
MF - Khedira
AMF - Messi
AMF - Ha-mes
AMF - Robben

False 9 - Muller

Meh, 5 or 6 are absolute shoe in's, can't really say the same for the rest. There are some downright laughable choices, but a few are toss up's.

Worst list ever. Only Germans and Argentines there. Sounds like he only watched the finals and then put in Medel to throw us off his trail. I'm not falling for it.
