Pick your World Cup team members and earn points!
Photo by Axel Bührmann
Just two weeks into the World Cup and we’ve already seen ingredients for a blockbuster movie. Landon Donovan scored a late goal in added time to seal perhaps the most dramatic time in American soccer history. USA advances!
Now you’ve all had chance to check out the talent from all of the countries participating in the World Cup we want you all to take your pick of your team of the tournament by picking the top 11 players you would have in your own World Cup team for our World Cup featured question:
Who would you choose to be in your World Cup team of the tournament?
To ask this question we’ve partnered with Brooks Peck from our very own ‘Dirty Tackle’ on Yahoo! Sports.
At the end of the tournament Brooks Peck will be choosing his own `Team of the Tournament` and the first response to match his will get the best answer and 110 BONUS POINTS — that’s 10 points for each player on your team!
Remember, as with any soccer team you’ll need to include just ELEVEN players:
- A goalkeeper
- Defenders
- Midfielders
- Forwards
But the formation is entirely up to you! One more `rule`: The players must have appeared in the World Cup, too!
Once you’ve formed your team, why not share it with your Facebook friends by publishing your answer to this question? See what they think of your team choice and if they want to make their own!

soccer sucks. and i’m not just saying that because the USA sucks at it. i didn’t even know what the World Cup was before this year. i saw questions about it and i was like, “You mean the Stanley Cup (hockey)?” haha. it’s boring as anything anyway. fast pace Hockey is where it’s at.
i can’t wait until October 7 for Hockey to begin.
I ♥ Germany! xD
