With germany home and away tops on offer, we asked YOU to to pick the best team containing only players from teams competing in World Cup 2014.
You replied in your dozens.
But two sides have emerged.
Neuer
Lahm, Hummels, Blind
Mascherano
Muller, Pirlo, Vidal, Robben
Rodriguez, Messi
(Trev c)
Neuer
Lahm, Hummels, Garay, Ghoulam
Kroos, Mascherano, Schweinesteiger
Robben, Muller, Di Maria
(Damo C)
Which side would WIN a hypothetical match? Damo’s defensive caution or Trev’s midfield flair?
And who will win the very real jerseys?
Only YOU can Decide.
Lines MUST close at 4.30pm
Previously: They Think It’s All Über
Trev C for Pirlo alone
Cyztalizer believez Pirlo had a poor World Cup (with the exception of the England game)
having him in the bezt XI angerz Cryztalizer
With that midfield it has to be Trev C
Trev C
Trev C
James Rodriguez has to be in the team so Trev C
+ whatever his shirt number was. He comes free with an insect familiar too.
seeing a the level of interest in responding to this post is thin I say call it a draw and send the
jerseys up to some kids in Crumlin hospital!
+1
Eh wha?… excluding messing, there were over 50 entries for this. The above are the final two…
Trev gets my ‘I know nothing about the soccer’ vote.
Damo’s team is much better balanced though it has the less-heralded players
Playing four top strikers in one team (the other guy) is top heavy which would result in them getting in each other’s way constantly and complaining about not getting the ball, plus no-one to tackle back when possession is lost.
+11 for Damo’s team.
Actually, I’ve changed my mind. Trev’s team, but I wouldn’t have Pirlo or Messi in there. Put an Algerian midfielder in there for me instead of Pirlo.
You are not allowed to change yer mind
Neuer
Lahm, Hummels, Blind, Kuyt
Mascherano, Schweinesteiger
Rodriguez, robben, Messi
RVP
Damo C
Damo C
I want a Spanish football jersey or a Barcelona football jersey.
I want to be Xavi or Iniesta, I don’t want to be Kroos or Khedira.
I don’t want to be Bayern Munich, I want to be Barcelona.
Damo’s team makes the most sense
We all dream of a team of Gary Breens, a team of Gary Breens, a team of Gary Breens
Damo C
Touch of the Graham Tayors about Trev’s team, picking players first then slotting them into positions. It’d get overrun in midfield. Trev’s Mascherano would get sent off for constantly fouling Damo’s Mascherano.
Mascherano the best DM in the tournament with Vidal the best box to box mid in the world and Pirlo the genius who is always four steps ahead ain’t gona get taken easily
Damo C for me.
Damo C winner for me, the other lad is trying to sneak as many strikers as possible
Bring back Paul Warhurst & Dion Dublin why don’t you :-)
As its hypothetical and we can’t actually see it take place then I’ll assume some kind of Schrodingers Cat logic whereby both teams are drawing, losing and winning at the same time.
No smart arse answers?
Then Trev C.
Damo all the way although i’d personally swap Di Maria with Rodriguez or a less bitey Suarez
Damo C’s team only because he has MVP Mascherano
Firstly, I dont understand me not winning with my team of G. Breens…
but I don’t think any team with Messi deserves to win.
What are we deciding here?
Who (out of the two lads) wins the two jerseys?
Who (out of the comments above) wins a jersey?
I’m more confused that the time Who was on first base.
The world cup proved that overly defensive teams suffered, so its Trev all the way for me
Damo C because he didn’t ask me to or anything
Trev c’s back 3 would get battered with protection from Robin and Muller!!!. Damo’s is the better balanced and therefore gets my vote.
Damo C clearly better team
Damo C
Damo C
Damo C’
How exactly did these 2 teams emerge? They are both terrible.
They were playing Ireland in the group stages.
Damo c
Damo C
Damo C
Trev C
you’re all kidding yourselves there….sorry Damo C it has to be Trev C’s outfit…..I’d say a fairly handy 3-0 margin as well
Trev C’s defence looks rock solid there. Pirlo is on form, his smarts will deliver the game on a plate. Messi is tired but that won’t matter because Mr. Pirlo will feed James Rodriguez and Muller, Robben will run that Damo C defence into the ground and also nail one
3-0 to Trev C
Seems a bit of a match fixing scandal on Damo’s part by those last few votes
Damo C because this is a fake account
