FIFA.com - Name your CONCACAF best XI
« on: August 07, 2009, 08:45:40 AM »
Just stumbled on this online.

http://www.fifa.com/worldfootball/news/newsid=1082099.html

In this weekend's Have Your Say feature, FIFA.com asks you, the users, to name your best CONCACAF XI. There is no need to restrict your selections to those mostly young guns participating in the current CONCACAF Gold Cup, but perhaps a few of them have turned your head and earned a place among the region's crème de la crème.

Cameroon-born goal machine Ali Gerba is in fine form for Canada, alongside the always impressive Julian de Guzman. Young USA ace Charlie Davies has sparkled again, after an impressive FIFA Confederations Cup in South Africa where he linked up with Clint Dempsey, Michael Bradley, Landon Donovan and Jozy Altidore in a shock run to a historic first-ever global final.

Mexico's captain Rafa Marquez is always a popular choice among CONCACAF aficionados, as is Andres Guardado, Pavel Pardo and beloved Club America goalkeeper Memo Ochoa. Costa Rica have been producing some dazzling young talent of late like Bryan Ruiz and Celso Borges, who link up well with the old warhorse Walter Centeno. Neighbours Honduras have among their ranks playmaker Amado Guevara, oft-injured, but always brilliant, David Suazo and the England-based pair of Wilson Palacios and Maynor Figueroa.

Let's not forget about the Caribbean, though, with Trinidad and Tobago still boasting Dwight Yorke and Kenwyne Jones. Jamaica's Ricardo Gardner is still going strong over in England's top flight as is Grenadian sensation Jason Roberts.

So now it's over to you, the users. Pick the best XI from North, Central America and the Caribbean, put them in your favourite formation and have your say. Click 'Add your comment' to make your opinion known, remembering to keep your posts clean, respectful, on-topic and in English.
