Good afternoon Not606ers! RobSpur has been leading the way with threads recently of favourite spurs players/ commentaries plus others so I thought I'd join in the on the action. With the European Championships around the corner, I'm challenging you all to name an XI of players plus a manager BUT you can only select one person from a nation. The qualified teams for the tournament to help with your choices are as follows: France England Czech Republic Iceland Austria N. Ireland Portugal Spain Switzerland Italy Belgium Wales Romania Albania Germany Poland Russia Slovakia Croatia Turkey Hungary R. O. Ireland Sweden Ukraine My side is as follows: 4-4-2 Lloris (FRA) Piszscek (POL), Kompany (BEL), Chiellini (ITA), Alaba (AUT) Bale (WAL), Modric (CRO), Iniesta (ESP), Reus (GER) Kane (ENG), Zlatan (SWE). Manager - Fatih Terim (TUR). Bit lightweight in the midfield but try winning the ball from those four anyway! Hopefully this can pass a bit of time at work (or home) if your day is as boring as mine so far
Trying to avoid using any of the same players as SoS: Neuer (Ger) Coleman (ROI), Pique (Spa), Cahill (Eng), Rodriguez (Swi) Pogba (Fra), Veratti (Ita); Ronaldo (Por), Yarmolenko (Ukr), Hazard (Bel), Lewandowski (Pol) Manager: Coleman (Wales).
Neuer( Ger) Coleman,(Ire) Williams, (Wal) Kompany,(Bel)Zhirkov,(Rus) Dier (Eng)Pogba,(Fra) Silva,(Esp)) Ronaldo, (Por),Konoplyanka(Ukr) Zlatan (Swe) Manager: Lagerback (Ice)
Akinfeev; Vrsaljko, Pique, Hummels, Digne; Marchiso, Turan; Yarmolenko, Sigurdsson, Bale; Lewandowski Manager: Martin O'Neill
Lloris Walker Wimmer Vertonghen Bale Modric Holtby Keane Soldado Sigurdsson Pavlyuchenko Manager Villas-Boas
I'd have to find a place for David Alaba (Austria) based on qualifying. Lewandowski with Ronaldo and Bale either side is a nailed on front three, although where would Muller play?
Zlatan over Lewandowski....who is having a good streak. Muller in the middle with Busquets...who can be the defensive of the two.
