Title: Carragher Challenge Post by: bergeroo on April 18, 2020, 11:13:20 AM Best football team with players from the 90s onwards. None can have played for the same club team or be from the same country. (not just at the same time, but ever) - Who you got?
Title: Re: Carragher Challenge Post by: HutchGF on April 18, 2020, 11:32:32 AM That is really hard......
Title: Re: Carragher Challenge Post by: arbboy on April 18, 2020, 12:38:52 PM Neville Southall (wales)
Lahm (Germany) Hansen (scotland) Baresi (Italy) Dennis Irwin (Ireland) Messi (argie) Bergkamp (dutch) Kante (france) Son Heung Min (south korea) Alan Shearer (english) Raul (spain) Title: Re: Carragher Challenge Post by: arbboy on April 18, 2020, 12:39:53 PM Pretty sure none of them overlap club wise. I wanted Ronaldo in but i couldn't find another left back that fitted as well as Irwin country wise and club wise so raul will have to do. Not a bad replacement.
Don't think one of them played for Man City either! Was going to list the clubs but big nev has had too many on wiki to list them all! Title: Re: Carragher Challenge Post by: bergeroo on April 18, 2020, 01:47:52 PM Not many Spanish players who haven't played for Barca or Real but I found a good one. I will share my team later. Actually really tricky. Getting that last man in is tough, I almost ended up with David Batty as my holding midfielder.

He never played for Scotland effectively. Was retired for the whole of his prime. Wasn't part of Fergie's Aberdeen Mafia. Hansen was part of the team that won the league in 1990 playing 30+ games albeit his last season! He just squeezes in! Rolls royce defender Title: Re: Carragher Challenge Post by: Juperjiper on April 18, 2020, 02:30:46 PM Buffon

Title: Re: Carragher Challenge Post by: Rubbish2407 on April 18, 2020, 11:23:02 PM Wild shout by Rubbish. Blonde moment. Why did I think Dijk played for Man City? Who was I thinking of? I've been trying to do a sudoku for three hours, brains frazzled. Does anyone use cracking the cryptic? Some awesome stuff on there if you like that sort of thing and it doesn't half pass the time. Title: Re: Carragher Challenge Post by: scotty2hatty on April 19, 2020, 05:26:06 AM Can't believe C.Ronaldo isn't making these teams.
Title: Re: Carragher Challenge Post by: Newportlad on April 19, 2020, 08:29:44 AM Can't believe C.Ronaldo isn't making these teams. It's really difficult. I started with Schmeichal in goial, then realised that ruled out Giggs, Ronaldo. I'm nowhere near finishing my team. Title: Re: Carragher Challenge Post by: DropTheHammer on April 19, 2020, 09:15:17 AM Can't believe C.Ronaldo isn't making these teams. He’s just played for too many top clubs, so he’s only good for being born in Portugal. You need as many one-club players as possible so I went for: Neuer, Robertson, Ramos, Baresi, Zanetti, Giggs, LeTissier, Lampard, Ljundberg, Son, Neymar.

Le Tiss and Lampard, both England internationals. Title: Re: Carragher Challenge Post by: DropTheHammer on April 19, 2020, 09:20:11 AM Didn’t say caps it said where they were from. LeTiss is from Guernsey. And I’ve swapped Stoichkov for Neymar as I realized I didn’t have any Brazilians.

Title: Re: Carragher Challenge Post by: kukushkin88 on April 19, 2020, 10:29:44 AM Neuer, Maldini, Roberston, Vidic, Adams (c), De Bruyne, Iniesta, Zidane, Zanetti (in a defensive midfield role), Trundle (Lee), Asprilla. Two left backs (Maldini will switch), other than that I think it's a decent team. Please point out if I've missed anything.

Title: Re: Carragher Challenge Post by: bobby1 on April 19, 2020, 10:40:37 AM Rene Higuita, Columbia Traianos Dellas, Greece. Franco Beresi, Italy. Virgil Van Dijk, Netherlands. Landon Donovan, USA. Lionel Messi, Argie. Kevin De Bruyne, Belgium. Ryan Giggs, Wales. Raul, Spain. Erling Brut Halaand, Norway Didier Drogba, Ivory Coast. Not a lot of defending going on in that midfield but with that back 3 who needs defensive midfielders eh? Title: Re: Carragher Challenge Post by: bobby1 on April 19, 2020, 10:44:22 AM Giggs on the left btw.

Otherwise you can have John Barnes, Owen Hargreaves, Terry Butcher, Graeme Le Saux, Raheem Stirling.

Throwing caution to the wind, Pablo Aimar in for Zanetti. Halaand from Bobby has to be a good shout. If we were combining efforts for a best team, he’d be a good shout imo.
