Let me preface this by saying that I am by no means a pro at this, and unfortunately my ability to watch Spanish and German football is very limited, but here are my picks for the best XI of 2011. This is surely the highest honor these players will ever receive.
GK--Iker Casillas, Real Madrid
RB--Dani Alves, Barcelona
CB--Vincent Kompany, Manchester City
CB--Nemanja Vidic, Manchester United
LB--Philipp Lahm, Bayern Munich
MF--Yaya Toure, Manchester City
MF--Andres Iniesta, Barcelona
MF--Bastian Schweinsteiger, Bayern Munich
F--Robin Van Persie, Arsenal
F--Cristiano Ronaldo, Real Madrid
F--Lionel Messi, Barcelona
No surprise, my player of the year is Lionel Messi.
I'd like to thank everyone who takes any time to read my little blog. I have a good time writing it, and I hope maybe it at least stimulates some of you to think more and write about the Beautiful Game we all know and love.
I hope the end of 2011 has been good to you all, and that 2012 is better than you can even imagine.
Peace be upon you, good luck in 2012!
