[Football] All time international teams: starting with Germany's

Garry Nelson's teacher · May 28, 2018

In the build-up to the World Cup this might be worth watching out for. The Guardian is doing a series of the greatest XIs and it starts with Germany. This looks like a pretty damn good line-up:

What a luxury of choice the Germans have there. No room for Klinsmann or Klose, the all time highest goalscorer in World Cups (though could overtaken by Thomas Müller at some stage maybe?). Maier or Neuer. Not sure about Hummels myself, but I admit I'm no expert on German football.

Presumably they're not doing this exercise for ALL the World Cup nations, as I'd struggle to name the all time best Iranians, I confess.

It's a wait and see............I guess they'll leave England until last.

I bet Gareth Bale could name all of the mighty Icelandic team that beat the English, a while back!

Regarding England: I'll start with Bryan Robson. Anyone else?

Toss up between David Nugent and Jay Bothroyd for me.

Saunders · May 28, 2018

I disagree with half of that team plus Beckenbauer/Matthaeus played the same role so you cant have both well you could but it wouldnt work.

Stat Brother · May 28, 2018

Matt Derbyshire could do a job.

albionfan37 · May 28, 2018

Shilton
Moore
Charlton
Lineker
Gazza

Would be in my all time England team

I hope you're going to say the same to BG when he turns up on this thread and suggests, in all seriousness, somebody who literally nobody else would ever think of picking

I think it would bounce off him like s Sherman tank shell against a Tiger!

No room for Toni Kroos in midfielder in a Germany all time XI. What an embarrassment of riches.

As for England you have to have Lineker, Scholes and Gascoigne.

Gunter Netzer was the classiest German midfielder ever. Should be in the team. The team that blew england away at Wembley 1:3 was for me their best team https://www.google.co.uk/amp/s/impromptuinc.wordpress.com/2012/12/01/germanys-best-match-ever/amp/
