Italy "Victorious XI" (2006)

Italy stunned everyone in 2006 with a surprisingly attacking blend of Football. Led by a brilliant Cannavaro who marshalled a defense which was almost impossible to breach; thus making Cannavaro as the only defender ever to win the 'Golden Ball' award of the World Cup. A peerless Buffon, a magnificent Pirlo and lovely attacking combination of Totti and Toni complemented Italy's quest to win the World Cup.
