Dream Team

here's my starting XI not based on the World Cup roster.

gk: emma byrne (arsenal, ireland)
dl: ingrid ryland (arna bjonar, norway)
dc: katie chapman (arsenal, england)
dr: alex scott (boston, england)
mc: anouk hoogendijk (bristol, holland)
mc: julia simic (bayern, germany)
mc: caroline seger (west new york, sweden)
aml: lara dickenmann (lyon, switzerland)
amc: kelly smith (boston, england)
amr: louisa necib (lyon, france)
fc: lotta schelin (lyon, sweden)

this is a lineup that won't work on the field, because it is too attacking, and the fullbacks are really fullbacks. and katie chapman, while she can play in central defence, is essentially still a central midfielder. but pretty centre backs are rather hard to find.
