Why Figo and Henry shouldn’t be in world team: Avijit Ghosh

My next follow up, to Goal.com announcing their World XI for the decade 2000-2010, and to Sir Avjit Ghosh's blog, 'Addictions'.

No doubt the presented arguments are convincing. I agree with most of them, especially that of Kaka. Kaka has been a pillar of strength and agility combined for the AC Milan team, and his achievements and prowess also won him the World Player of the Year. His incredible speed and superior vision even got him transferred for a (then) world record transfer fee.
Since the team is for 2000-2010, probably Ronaldo, and I am talking about the Portuguese this time, doesn't deserve a place considering that his career spans the later half of the decade. However, overlooking him and even Messi is something which created a lot of debate. Both are world class players, no doubt.
I feel the site's naming of a World XI was probably a publicity stunt - obviously, it has created a furor among the pundits. But no doubt the select XI are all great players. All hail!
