Have to feel for Chile and Mexico there...
He constantly threatened the Mexican defense and was their best player imo.Why Robben? He may have won the penalty but Huntelaar both scored the penalty as well as gave the assist to Sneidjer's goal
Hamsik over Mkhitaryan and Handanovic over Cech for me, honorable mentions to Eriksen and Subotic.So i got thinking... how well would a hypothetical team made of purely players whose countries didn't make the world cup do?
Seems to me they coudl actually be legitimate contenders, with a squad looking something like
cech
piszczek/benatia/ivanovic/alaba
ramsey/matic
bale/mkhitaryan/turan
Ibrahimovic
With lewandowski coming off the bench (might be able to tweak it to get him in, not sure best way to go about doing this though...)
anyone have any suggestions on other ways to build the team or thoughts on how strong they'd be?
I just had to clean my laptop keyboard. Twice.Costa has signed for Chelsea!
