Oliver Kahn showed that his concentration level and alertness were never decreasing. With his superb goalkeeping, a decent defence is all that is needed to keep a clean sheet.

Roberto Ayala has been absolutely wonderful, no question asked. Phillipp Lahm has attacking possibilities, while Lilian Thuram and Fabio Cannarvaro can add to the defence which is already solid with Ayala around.

Cristiano Ronaldo and Anderson Deco did very well for their country. C.Ronaldo determination and showy skills are undeniably a top player's stuff, while Deco's inspiring play adds on to it. Its a pity C.Ronaldo missed the chance of getting the Best Young Player award due to a stupid Spin-A-Rooney. Juan Riquelme was just simply great for Argentina and Gattuso's never-say-die attitude earns him a place in every dream team.

Carlos Tevez and Lionel Messi. What more can i say? Both of them can create endless possibilities. And if they can't take up the job, who else can?
