Team of The Time #2

That's right kids. Team of the time is back careering into the blogosphere like a tubby South American, shortly to Klinsmann it up on some sodden turf:

1. Hugo Lloris - That's right Liverpool fans. He was on fire no? Liverpool-Lyon was a great game for so many reasons, the top notch keeping at both ends being one of them. The only difference is old Hugo was on the winning team and should be plying his trade in the knockout rounds now. Oh Snap.

2.Aleksandr Ryazantsev - Who? Sheesh, the guy that scored the super screamer against Barca. My Lord what a goal. You have got to admire a man who turns up at Camp Nou and thinks ''Check this Catalans'' and proceeds to launch it from miles out. The finest goal ever to come out of Tartarstan.

3. Sean St Ledger - Going for the outside picks at the minute, but his diving header in the Italy Ireland match was sublime. For sure the most composed and solid diving header I have seen in months. And he plays for Borough you say? Hmmmm. Well, it is that kind of stepping up to the occasion that could see Irish eyes smiling in November (Cliche fives).

4. Andrea Pirlo - So everyone new AC Meelan are aged and creaking, and that Pirlos knees having seized permenantly into imovable blocks. I may have to rethink my calls for a
reshuffle of the Azzurri if Pirlo gets back in the groove, something which based on the sublime goal he put past Madrid to take the lead for the 2nd time. There was just nothing on, so he unleashed a screamer. It is like Pirlo '05 that we all know and love is back again

5. Ivan Klasnic - And so, due to More Than being complete dicks about insurance, we come to a pick from a recent game. I like Klasnic I do. He plays for Bolton, showing he is all about the football, so much so that he plays for Bolton, when he could be making a living on the banks of the med. Respect for that. Even more respect for scoring a goal like 3 minutes after being passed out on the floor. Woot.
