Best XI From Each of the 7 Continents
Рет қаралды 103,777
4 ай бұрынThe best XI from every country in the world. The continental world cup starting lineup, if you will. Using the massive scouting engine of Football Manager to determine the best player at every position from every continent seemed like a worthwhile way to spend my time and here are the lists that came out of it. Who do you think wins?
Much Love,
The Zealand

@@isaiahrashid7136 he’s the first Solomon Islander to play in Europe and he was producing as a 20 yr old for one of the top clubs in the Bosnian league but had personal issues(mostly bad homesickness and trouble acclimating) so he went home for a while. That tanked any value he had unfortunately but he is very talented. First time the world will likely see him play will be at the intercontinental playoff for the 26 World Cup. ON paper the Solomon Islands are the second best team in Oceania so they should be their representative in the playoff.
@jacoblind5390 4 ай бұрын
@@gamesretweets9979 it’s not a matter of anyone disagreeing with me. His value, what he had, has dropped since he went back home from Europe so based strictly on value he wouldn’t be there. . I was just saying that would be nice to find a slot for him in the top 11 given his talent. He is the highest valued Oceania player not from new Zealand

Winston Reid came to Denmark in 99 and he got a Danish stepfather. He could’ve played for the Danish National team, but refused back at the 10 World Cup. The competition on CB was fierce and there were both world class CBs on the Danish National squad and wonderkids like Andreas Christensen and promising prospects like Jannik Vestergaard, Jores Okore and Joachim Andersen. So he fancied his chances with New Zealand. I still remember him as a breakout talent in the Danish Super league. Have only seen him in the odd game against United since then.

If it wasn't on FM ability, I would have had at least 3 non-New Zealanders in my Oceania 11: Brian Kaltack is clearly the best pick of the bunch from Vanuatu, the Central Coast Mariners CB who was crucial to their A-league win last season, and I would pick him over the aging Winston Reid. On either wings, it's a bit more debatable, but I would pick Roy Krishna from Fiji on the left and Raphael Lea'i from the Solomon Islands on the right
@smiis3149 4 ай бұрын
This can't be serious. Lea'i is absolutely nowhere close to the ability of McCowatt or Singh, let alone the next ten New Zealand attacking options. Krishna would absolutely make this list a couple years back, but he's declining. However, Kaltak is fantastic and would be the closest here, definitely
