Abra Dubravka Posted March 11, 2021 Share Posted March 11, 2021 Your all time XI, but your only allowed to pick one player from each national they play(ed) for... GK; Shay Given - Rep of Ireland RB; Aaron Hughes - N.Ireland CB; Colo - Argentina CB; Albert - Belgium LB; Jose Enrique - Spain RM; Solano - Peru CM; Speed - Wales CM; Tiote - Ivory Coast LM; Hatem - France ST; Shearer - English ST; Demba Ba - Senegal Sub1; Dubravka - Slovakia Sub2; Dabizas - Greek Sub3; Emre - Turkey Sub4; Hamman - Germany Sub5; Almiron - Paraguayan Sub6; Ketsbia - Georgian Sub7; Ferguson - Scotland Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
leffe186 Posted March 12, 2021 Share Posted March 12, 2021 All right, here's a Spurs one: GK; Pat Jennings - N. Ireland RB; Stephen Carr - Ireland CB; Richard Gough - Scotland CB; Toby Alderweireld - Belgium LB; Gareth Bale - Wales RM; Son Heung-Min - Korea CM; Ossie Ardiles - Argentina CM; Luka Modric - Croatia LM; David Ginola - France ST; Dimitar Berbatov - Bulgaria ST; Jurgen Klinsmann - Germany Sub1; Erik Thorstvedt - Norway Sub2; Hoddle/Waddle/Gazza/Kane/King/Campbell/whoever Sub3; Christian Eriksen - Denmark Sub4; Rafael Van Der Vaart - Netherlands Sub5; Gylfi Sigurdsson - Iceland Sub6; Sergio Reguilon - Spain Sub7; Adebayor (Togo)/BAE (Cameroon)/Palacios (Honduras) Tough to choose one Frenchman. Went for Ginola, but you could put Lloris in, push Bale to LW, and have Reguilon/BAE behind him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happinesstan Posted March 12, 2021 Share Posted March 12, 2021 How can you discuss an international XI and overlook Brazil? Mirandinha was great. Got to be worth a place on the bench. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingxlnc Posted March 12, 2021 Share Posted March 12, 2021 Other good shouts: Asprilla- Columbia Acuna- Chile Kluivert / Krul / Janmaat / Willems / Wijnaldum - Holland I agree with Ben Arfa but spoiled for choice from France. Potentially could go with Santon at left back - Italy Although you could maybe put Perez or Merino in, I’d go with Rafa to manage the team. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

stozo Posted March 12, 2021 Share Posted March 12, 2021 Krul (Netherlands) Hughes (Northern Ireland Coloccini (Argentina) Albert (Belgium) Enrique (Spain) Solano (Peru) Speed (Wales) Cabaye (France) Asprilla (Colombia) Ba (Senegal) Shearer (England) Slightly odd formation but desperately wanted to include Cabaye and then subsequently realised that all our decent left wingers have been French (Ginola, Robert, ASM).

Stal Posted March 12, 2021 Share Posted March 12, 2021 Gonna try and do this without the difficult choice of shoehorning players into roles they really weren't the best at (but I liked them). Gonna be tough. ~~Disclaimer~~ some of these I just liked, dont care if you judge me Srnicek - Czech Reuplic Hottiger -Switzerland Dabizas -Greece Albert - Belgium Pistone - Italy Solano - Peru Speed - Wales Ketsbia - Georgia Papavasilou - Cyprus Kluivert - Holland MacDonald - England Subs: Given - ROI Acuna - Argentina Hughes - NI Allen - Scotland Tiote - Ivory Coast Mirandinha - Brasil Almiron - Paraguay No way am I picking shearer with his current wankfest/lack of criticism over bruce. I wanted beardsley too but I couldn't after his conduct at the club. Honourable mention to Rob Lee who I would have liked in there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted March 12, 2021 Share Posted March 12, 2021 Think the closest we’ll have came would be Friedel on trial but couldn’t get a work permit. I checked David Edgar’s dad because I remember hearing he was a keeper and played for us but no, born in Jarrow. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colos Short and Curlies Posted March 12, 2021 Share Posted March 12, 2021 I'm going to take you all on with an English XI (Premier League era only) - and I'll even allow Shearer to remain in the World XI seeing as pretty much everyone has selected him Harper Watson Woodgate Lascelles Beresford Batty Lee Clark Beardsley Ferdinand Cole Darlow Peacock Barton Sellers Nolan Beardsley Shola Elliott Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 12, 2021 Share Posted March 12, 2021 I’d put Peacock or Howey over Lascelles, Venison right-back, and Dyer for Clark. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
