Hereward Posted April 15, 2020 Share Posted April 15, 2020 OK, I lost most of my interest in football quite a long time ago, so I may have missed something here, but here is my line-up: Schmeichel Bergomi Moore Beckenbauer McGrain Socrates Kante De Bruyne Boniek Blokhin Cruyff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corvinus85 Posted April 16, 2020 Share Posted April 16, 2020 This is tough. Slowly making my way by national team, and looking at their club history. I would very much like to not count where they played on loan, or where they went to play very late in their careers merely for a paycheck and to stay in shape. And of course, youth clubs.

BigFatCoward Posted April 16, 2020 Share Posted April 16, 2020 Old people have it easy. Imagine being able to pick the best goalkeeper of all time who spent their whole career with Dynamo Moscow. Or Pele never playing in Europe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigFatCoward Posted April 16, 2020 Share Posted April 16, 2020 I just tried to do a newcastle team based on one player per country and it was fucking shit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was gutted when I remembered Gazza spent time at Everton and he clashed with my keeper. I dont think loans/youth teams should count, but late career pay checks should.

Messi is a must have, which knocks out all Barcelona alumni. But I was born in 1977 so I can lay claim to players like Zico, Gerd Müller, George Best, Dalglish and Platini (can replace Zidane, they’re both Juve but Platini doesn’t remove Real Madrid). Jimmy Greaves is even possible but he had a short stint at AC Milan. Ian Rush’s year at Juve knocks him out. Here’s my attempt to mix several eras: Jan Oblak John Terry Alan Hansen Wim Suurbier Paulo Maldini KDB Zico Messi George Best Gerd Muller Mbappe Edit: I just realized that Terry and KDB were both at Chelsea Best and Müller have three things in common. 1. They were generational offense players in their time. 2. They were both alcoholics 3. They both played for the Fort Lauderdale Strikers (ofc in Florida, where else would two drunks meet).

Rorshach Posted April 16, 2020 Share Posted April 16, 2020 Haven't tried the popular one here yet (yes, yes, will do and embarass myself), but I did one for Everton when a twitter thread was going round. Criteria: no same nationalitites. Ended up with Southall Yobo Watson Materazzi Kanchelskis Arteta Gravesen Richarlison Pienaar Lukaku Sharp No, we do not defend. Defending is for sissies!

ljkeane Posted April 16, 2020 Share Posted April 16, 2020 The three games De Bruyne played for Chelsea are pretty annoying. Why does Mourinho always have to ruin things for everyone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soylent Brown Posted April 16, 2020 Share Posted April 16, 2020 I'm just relieved mine managed to get through, even though I'd completely run out of steam trying to think of a good right back I could pick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not the best player, certainly, but Son could fit in, perhaps. May have to play Zidane sort-of-half-wide right, but that shold be okay ..ish. So Southall, Maldini, van Dijk, Godin, Gilberto, Zidane, Scholes, Son, Maradona, Drogba, Mbappé Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

john Posted April 16, 2020 Share Posted April 16, 2020 Man, what an annoying game. I’m sure it’s been said before been said before but fuck the Germans if they all want to play for Munich. Right, have it - Casillas Carlos Alberto Torres, Lizarazu, Baresi, Kompany Gazza, Maradona, Best, Reus Dalglish, Bergkamp Not bad representation of my personal preferences, got one from one of the best defences ever (90s Milan), the best CB of the last ten years, some legendary players, a Scot, a Rangers star and one from the best team in my football viewing history (late 90s Arsenal) Don't really give a fuck about Marco Reus. I’d’ve loved to have Matthäus in there but that messed up too much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
