Can you believe that all of the players in the official FIFA team of the year all came from La Liga? That's crazy when you consider players from Chelsea and Bayern Munich (two team who contested last year's final) were overlooked. What does this mean for the EPL and other leagues in Europe?
The team of the year is:
Iker Casillas (Real Madrid)
Dani Alves (Barcelona)
Gerard Pique (Barcelona)
Sergio Ramos (Real Madrid)
Marcelo (Real Madrid)
Xabi Alonso (Real Madrid)
Xavi (Barcelona)
Andres Iniesta (Barcelona)
Lionel Messi (Barcelona)
Radamel Falcao (Atletico Madrid)
Cristiano Ronaldo (Real Madrid)

Rob, I think the front 3 is fair.
All had remarkable seasons. Falcao's exploits in the Europa League probably gives him the edge over RVP.
Drogba was good in the CL but crap in the league so doesn't deserve it.

RVP puts goals past PL defences for fun. Do you honestly think Falcao would even get a sniff of goal v the likes of Chelsea??

Also how can there not be a Spanish striker in the world 11 when at the Euros they were so well known for their strikers? Absolute joke!

Would love to know how Pique is in there? Kompany should be. Of course, it's so much easier to judge via reputation rather than actual performance.
Pirlo for Alonso is another change that should be made.
No arguments with the forwards, although Van Persie is a bit unlucky to be left out.
Marcelo appears to be very underrated on here. Whenever I've seen him he's been a class act.
