Its actually always been that way - not only now. All the worlds best play in La Liga. Thats why they will always have a fair amount represented in Fifa teams/World teams.

:o nah don't have dstv :(
I wonder if the lack of Italian players is due to them being too old or no young potentials....
I hope Gussipi Rossi will become a great talent for italy in the future

DSTV or not, Ribbery is known all around the world even if you dont watch German football. I know of him in the WC but his performance was so poor I just never followed german football to notice how much his improved that's all hence I asked how he got there

He was one of the finds in the world cup. Maybe we were watching two different world cups.
No wonder why Barcelona and AC Milan have been after him for months

Ok let me put it this way...
If you know anything about world football (ie outside of the team u support), you would know about Ribbery, Fck every team is after the guy.

Because the side is based on cl viewing mostly. If they went on league performance k a k a wouldn't be in that team. He was very disappointing last season.
Ibra and Torres should be the two strikers in that side why they picked two guys who are basicly wingers as the strikers I have no idea. Midfield is also unbalanced, no defensive midfielder.

He can but he shouldn't. He is best as an attacking central midfielder.

Ribery got knocked out and taken off on a stretcher when some defender ran straight into him in Euro 2008 but yeah he's damn good.
