Name Your World XI

Here's a fun game I've played with my mates on Whatsapp

Name your World XI players, but no two players can have:

The same nationality

Played for the same club

And they have to have played in your lifetime.

It's quite tricky. I think I got a decent team out of it but will post it after a few replies (if any) to see how others did.

Get the ball off these Dudes !!

Strange how many players seem to have played for Juve and Barc Real or are Brazilian etc
Couldn't get a right-back if I used Cafu or Carlos Alberto then I had to leave out the greatest player ever in Pele certainly the greatest Brazilian

So I only need 3 defenders as my keeper sweeps up nicely and was way ahead of his time.

Moore and Best = Fulham

Fair point, It's very difficult to get world-class players who have only played for one club isn't it, especially modern players who have all seemed to play For Real Barca Juve Man Utd AC etc at some point.
I started by Nationality and tried to find the best player ever from each country and make a team but then you find they all played for one of about 6 clubs.
I think world-class players are household names even non-football fans have heard of Pele Messi Maradona Cryuf Ronaldo Best Beckenbauer Eusebio Bobby Moore Banks and a whole raft of Brazilian players Etc Etc
 
.........................................René Higuita

.......John Terry ........Franz Beckenbauer.......... Paulo Maldini

.......................................Graeme Souness.

...............................Michel Platini..........Luka Modric

......................................................Pele

George Best ......................................Lionel Messi ...........................Eusebio

I think I managed 7 World-class players ?
 
I was going to have Charlie Aitken at Left back but it would have meant leaving out Pele as they played together for New York Cosmos :Fingers:


Edit I now give up as Beckenbauer and Pele both played fro New york cosmos :shake:

This is hard. Here's my go but I can't guarantee the accuracy.

Phillip Lahm... Bobby Moore... John Charles... Paolo Maldini
