Re: **Official Other Teams & Games Thread, Season 2012/13**
Luka Modric has been nominated for one of the midfield slots in the FIFA World XI team for 2012.
As he spent some of 2012 at Spurs, we can take some credit if he wins the place.
Rather strangely, Gareth Bale was nominated for one of the defenders slots.
The 15-man shortlist for the FIFA/FIFPro World XI 2012 Midfielders:
Xabi Alonso (Spain, Real Madrid), Sergio Busquets (Spain, Barcelona), Cesc Fabregas (Spain, Barcelona), Steven Gerrard (England, Liverpool), Eden Hazard (Belgium, Chelsea), Andres Iniesta (Spain, Barcelona), Frank Lampard (England, Chelsea), Luka Modric (Croatia, Real Madrid), Mesut Ozil (Germany, Real Madrid), Andrea Pirlo (Italy, Juventus), Franck Ribery (France, Bayern Munich), David Silva (Spain, Emirates Marketing Project), Bastian Schweinsteiger (Germany, Bayern Munich), Yaya Toure (Ivory Coast, Emirates Marketing Project), Xavi Hernandez (Spain, Barcelona)
