2005 UEFA's Dream Team

Below are the top players in Europe, for 2005. Right beneath each player's name, in parentheses, is the club which he defended in 2005.
Except for Samuel Eto'o, below, all players listed should be contesting the 2006 World Cup. Unfortunately, the Cameroon (Eto'o's country) did not qualify, so we will miss seeing this fabulous striker in action, this Summer.

The above team was the outcome of a poll at the UEFA Web site, at the closing of 2005.
As remarked above, most of the players listed will be contesting the 2006 World Cup.
A real pity we will not be able to watch Eto'o's exciting football, this Summer, in Germany.

Incidentally, he started the 2006 African Cup in a devastating fashion: scoring
three goals in Cameroon 's victory against Angola and
a goal in their victory against the Togo Squad
(both of Cameroon's opponents playing in the 2006 World Cup,
respectively, in Group D and Group G)!
