    Bayern categorically showed the world last year that they are the best in Europe.

    they should have no less than 6 players in that team, and Bastian Schweinsteiger being omitted is a complete and utter farce.

    it's impossible to objectively defend the selection.

    Its hard to not see some degree of Barca/Spanish Favoritism with Ramos, Xavi and Iniesta in the team and players like Bastian or Vidal not in it.

    Is the team not picked by other professionals?

    International captains, managers and designated media. I think Jimmy McGee gets the Irish media vote

    That'll explain why Platini got a vote with Rijkaard and Hagi.

    Pele looks good for his age.

    If Chewy Suarez wasn't a big racist he would surely have been in team of the year right.

    I'm very happy for Christy, you can see how much it means for him even if he may be a bit arrogant. I don't recall Messi crying on the stage, smug pimp.

    It was fully deserved, I've just never understood the continued love in that United fans have for a man that forced through a move to Madrid.
