In a month of FIFA World Cup firsts, here is the tournament's Best XI and most memorable moment, according to DePaul men's soccer coach Craig Blazer.


Goalkeeper: Iker Casillas (Spain)

Right back: Sergio Ramos (Spain)

Center back: Gerard Pique (Spain)

Center back: Carles Puyol (Spain)

Left back: Giovanni van Bronckhorst (Netherlands)

Center midfield: Andre Iniesta (Spain)

Center midfield: Xavi (Spain)

Right wing: Diego Forlan (Uruguay)

Attacking midfielder: Wesley Sneijder (Netherlands)

Left wing: Arjen Robben (Netherlands)

Striker: David Villa (Spain)

Manager: Vincente del Bosque (Spain)


Most Memorable Moment: Van Bronckhorst's long range goal against Uruguay was outstanding, but for me Landon Donovan's goal in the closing minutes of the second half against Algeria created a new interest in U.S. Soccer.

The best 11 players are most from Spain, how about Muller from Germany? Spain was not the best team... they just were lucky to win the World Cup....
