lol what have Gourcuff & Bastos done to be world class?
for their NT the 1st isnt an important player, and the 2nd isnt even called up anymore.

but more importantly, you put them and yet leave out Lloris (a top 5 GK)

Back with the list is a bit.

Milan: Ibrahimovic,Thiago silva,Pato.
Up for debate: Van bommel

a world class player imo is a player who would walk into most (if not all) big european teams.

Also, it's Villarreal... we're going to have to host a class on this, I swear.

It's safe to say pdolson has a very broad definition of world class. Anyways, I'll give it a go:

Barca- Alves, Pique, Busquets, Xavi, Iniesta, Villa, Messi, Mascherano, Puyol
Real Madrid- Casillas, Pepe, Alonso, Ozil, Ronaldo
Valencia-
Villa Real-
Sevilla- Navas
Atletic Bilbao- Martinez
Atletico Madrid- Aguero

Man United- Vidic, Nani, Rooney, Valencia
Chelsea- Terry, Drogba, Torres, Cole

Arsenal- RVP, Cesc, Sagna
Spurs- Modric
Liverpool- Reina, Gerrard, Suarez

AC Milan- Silva, Ibra, MVB
Inter- Sneijder, Eto'o, Lucio
Napoli- Cavani
Udinese- Sanchez
Roma- Totti
Juve- Chiellini

Dortmund- Hummels
Bayern- Neuer, Lahm, Robben, Gomez
Leverkusen- Ballack

Lille- Hazard
Lyon-
Marsellie-
PSG- Sakho

Ajax-
Porto- Falcao
Benfica- Coentrao
Newcastle- Barton

Interesting...though about making a cut down list limited to 23 players as a whole after this. gave it a try, but some very hard choices to make.
