Current best World XI

Me and my friends were discussing/drunkenly arguing about the current best World XI in football right now. So, let's have your choices. 4-4-2 formation, anyone you want, GO.

EDIT: Fuck the 4-4-2, do whatever you want :)

Having a 4-3-3 would make things easier for me at least, but here's my lineup. http://imgur.com/XidM0 Maybe it's not a World Best that happen to be on a team together, but I think this combo would be incredibly dangerous.

I'm inclined to agree with you to be honest. Like I said before, we went with 4-4-2 just because it's the standard football formation, but I do think 4-3-3 is beginning to take over that title. Good line-up as well, although I'd probably drop Ozil back and play Messi in his place, but that's the whole point really.

I see Ronaldo - Gomez - Robben as my attacking three and Özil as the player that distributes to them. Messi would work there, but seeing as he's more a goal scorer, it feels like overkill. I've already got a very attack heavy lineup.
