It's an all-star squad for the Euros but the catch is that we can only have one player per squad number. No, *you've* run out of Euro 2024 feature ideas.
So what we’ve done here is come up with an all-star squad for the Euros but the catch is that we can only have one player per squad number. No,and try to come up with your own versions that don’t absurdly manage to overlook William Saliba at 17, if you like.In part this is a selection born of desire to just make things slightly more interesting given the inevitable big-team bias this very silly feature entails, but it’s no token pick either.
This is our left-back and that’s that. We’re going with Robertson not because we think he’s necessarily the best of the three main contenders we’ve identified but because it keeps things interesting and gives us another country like Slovenia who – and we don’t think this is too much of a spoiler – are unlikely to feature again further on in the list.
We also found ourselves thinking that the familiarity between the centre-backs in this thrown-together squad would be a major boon until we remembered it’s not real and they won’t actually be playing any games.Choice of two sixes for the six role, although in truth they face a pretty tough battle to get a starting spot ahead of our number 16. Camavinga gets the nod because him being a 21-year-old who has won two La Liga titles, two Champions Leagues and been to the World Cup final is just silly.
Yes, there are a hilarious number of brilliant players wearing this shirt in Germany, but only one who does what we need. Sorry, Cristiano, sorry, Kevin, but it’s all about squad balance. You understand.We’ve already explained how he’s going to be player of the tournament You can look at the promise of your Rasmus Hojlunds or the astonishing international record of the Aleksandar Mitrovics of this world, but really you’re overcomplicating things if you’re looking anywhere beyond Kane, Lewandowski and Giroud: a trio of all-timers heading to Germany with 372 international caps and 202 international goals between them. And you’re being equally overcomplicated if you don’t quite quickly settle on Kane as the best of them at this time.
So here’s where things get interesting. Never ideal words to be writing almost 2000 words into a feature, but you see what we mean. We picked our 1-11, for reasons of our own sanity, with a view to it coming out as a coherently feasible starting XI even though it doesn’t really need to. We think we’ve got that, and now it gets a bit more uncertain with even looser guidelines about the post-11 numbering protocols.
We have long accepted that there could be no reconciliation or common ground between those who believe 12 is the correct number for a second-choice keeper and those who know in their bones that only 13 is right. But when did 16 sneak into that particularly niche front of the culture war?
