England defender John Terry has been named in the Fifa World Cup All-Star squad.

Chelsea captain Terry is the only English representative in the 23-man squad.

World Cup finalists Italy and France dominate the squad with seven players coming from the Italy side and four from Raymond Domenech's French team.

Arsenal goalkeeper Jens Lehmann is one of the three goalkeepers picked along with Portugal's Ricardo and Italy's Gianluigi Buffon.

Ze Roberto is the only Brazilian to make the squad following their disappointing campaign.

Italian duo Luca Toni and Francesco Totti are also somewhat surprise inclusions in the squad as Italy's progress to the final has been based on their solid defensive displays.

All-Star squad: 
Gianluigi Buffon (Italy), Jens Lehmann (Germany), Ricardo (Portugal), Roberto Ayala (Argentina), John Terry (England), Lilian Thuram (France), Philipp Lahm (Germany), Fabio Cannavaro (Italy), Gianluca Zambrotta (Italy), Ricardo Carvalho (Portugal), Ze Roberto (Brazil), Patrick Vieira (France), Zinedine Zidane (France), Michael Ballack (Germany), Andrea Pirlo (Italy), Gennaro Gattuso (Italy), Luis Figo (Portugal), Maniche (Portugal), Hernan Crespo (Argentina), Thierry Henry (France), Miroslav Klose (Germany), Francesco Totti (Italy), Luca Toni (Italy)
