Just in time for new year's eve, Sporting Daily has come up with its' own team of the year for 2006. There may be some surprises in there, but they have all been well thought through. Either that, or they are the one's at the end that are just there to make up the XI. Don't judge me.
Guus Hiddink - I know it is blasphemous to name a living man a deity, but gosh darn it I have to do it. Guus Hiddink is a god. The man can actually do no wrong. Even when he picked Kalac for the Croatia game, it was all part of his shrewd psychological plan to make everyone else think he was crazy.
Dale Begg-Smith - He is not in here for the minor achievement of winning gold at the Winter Olympics. He is here for the major achievement of having a name that, with the addition of two letters, could make a full sentance.
The Opals - The girls deserve huge credit for defeating Russia and taking the World Championship. What I can't work out is why none of the other nations have worked out that wearing skin-tight uniforms gives you a huge advantage in womens basketball. Not mens though.
Roger Federer - Why is it that when someone is one of the best cricketer's of all time he is labelled a genius, while someone who is one of the best tennis players of all time is labelled boring? On second thoughts, don't answer that.
Darryn Lockyer - Managed to lead the Broncos, Queensland and the Kangaroos to victory in all their respective night of nights. All while not even getting in a fight, drink driving or sexually assaulting anyone.
Tiger Woods - Read Roger Federer.
Melbourne - For giving a toss about the Commonwealth Games.
West Coast Eagles & Sydney Swans - For allowing Stephen Quartermaine to use the most obviously pre-rehearsed line in sports commentary history.
Yasunari Iwata - The jockey of Delta Blues makes the cut for his fantastic post-Melbourne Cup interview. "Very Happy".
Shane Warne - Managed to go the whole year with just one photo of himself in his underpants reaching the pages of an English tabloid. Good areas, Shane.
Layne Beachley - Once again, in the team for her name and not her sporting achievement (winning her 7th World Surfing Title). Have you ever actually noticed her name? Say it a few times until it sinks in. Layne Beachley. Layne Beachley. Weird.
Footnote: The Ashes makes it in the squad as 12th man. Showed some promise, but not quite enough.
