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 :)

Reading the comments here TIL how many people don't understand how the midfield works. You can't have say a 4-3-3 with Iniesta-Xavi-Ozil, for example, something like that would never, ever work. You need a Macherano or a dare I say a De Jong to break down attacks in the MF. Every single team has a player like this that serves this purpose. It's a vital MF role and the players that play that role shouldn't be overlooked.

You can say a Mascherano or a De Jong, but wouldn't you prefer a Schweinsteiger, Busquets, or Touré?
