Your Matchday squad from the Big four

[dww]

I have to say that was my biggest surprise in anyones team. That along with a back three I didn't see coming from anyone. It's interesting to see that people have a spread of opinion though.

[-V-]

Just thought id be different. Since everyone else has gone with the usual 442

**** it, with those 3 at the back and the Monster protecting them im happy with that. I feel Babel has come on a lot this month and i think we'll see the best of him between now and end of the season

I've chose a 4-3-3 formation, but one in the Rafa mould where it can become 3 at the back releasing Evra in to the midfield thus becoming a 3-4-3, or when defending pushing Rooney in to the left midfield spot for a 4-4-2.

So anyway back to one of my original points, could a mini tournament between a top four select team from say 8 Euro Nations get off the ground in between World Cup and Euro Championships?

Would it generate enough interest and monetary incentive to the clubs, leagues and of course TV stations?

I reckon it could and would also be a good way to showcase the sport by televising it globally.

i dont think it would get off the ground to be honest, which teams would people support? where would games be played? if it was a european thing i would find it hard for, say, torres, to play for an "english" dream team against a "spanish" dream team.
Also how would the team be selected? Opta Index stats or fans votes?

its a good idea but i just think theres so many different points that could prove stumbling blocks that it could never realistically happen

[Reaper]

Its not a national dream team, tho is it, thats the point the national tournaments are in between.

We have often had a world 11 vs a a [insert player name here] 11 for charity

To be honest I think that it would be a great call if Gerrard was willing but having seen his attitude at RM even I think it is a non starter. So given your hard core attitude who would you replace him with when he stropped off?

If Stevie had a tizzy over it I'd chuck Gallas in there and have Toure on the bench in his place. Don't think that would be as inevitable as suggested in this scenario though - being played out of position for your club week in week out isn't the same as for a tournament held every 4 years, especially when you might otherwise just be watching from the bench.
