This thread is fantastic, but here’s the monster version: a Soviet Union World Cup 2026 XI, if it hadn’t broken up in 1991.
Let's start with
GK: Matvey Safonov (PSG/Russia)
USA 2002 (!) beat Brazil 1970 in my first and only go at that; fair enough, they probably have more players still alive, but I’ll stick to the basketball and NFL ones 😁
Inspired by 82-0, here it is - World Cup addition!

Let's see if you can win the World Cup without losing a game! Choose a legendary team, or build your all-time squad, and go get it! 🏆🌎
Going on a mission - trying to find as many beers as I can from all 48 FIFA World Cup countries before the end of the tournament. Some will be tougher than others – trust me, I’ve been researching! But open to suggestions!
A starting player in a squad capable of winning the tournament gets hit by a freedom volley shot by a fan.

On Clint's birthdate: James Dean and Elvis weren't born yet. Wonder Bread started selling sliced bread a year prior. Chocolate chip cookies didn't exist. Picasso was the same age as Charlize Theron right now. The first documented high five wouldn't occur for another 46 years.
@EHDMJU People are complaining he should have picked X or Y, or it’s unfair to X or Y, as if it’s a rank system like a taxi.
How can anything Clarke does be a surprise to people by now.
Clarke’s arrogance is all too emblematic of the culture at the SFA, from
blazers to ref chiefs and to infinity and beyond. Expecting him to change now he has a big pay-off/contract extension is very sweet.
19-year-old Tyler Fletcher - son of former Scotland captain Darren - has been added to Scotland's World Cup squad following Billy Gilmour's injury 🏴
