Wondering if we could come up with a couple of XI's, first of a team of players not selected for the world cup squads. Second a team of players whose countries didn't qualify.

Wish I knew enough about keepers since I tend to research them the most.

The world cup is missing some excellent players. It's sad that talents like Bale for instance will never be able to show his skills at a World Cup.

Bale may get a crack at Euro 2016 with 23 countries qualifying plus France as hosts.

The Euro's though, isnt the World Cup and I doubt Wales will ever qualify for a World Cup. Although they do have two outstanding talents in Ramsey and Bale. If they can surround them with some half decent players. Oh they have Joe Allen too. You never know I guess.
How did they go in their group for the World Cup qualifying?

Not the easiest group for them. No one unbeatable but no weak countries either.
They're in our group again for the Euros, alongside Bosnia & Herzegovina, Israel, Cyprus and Andorra. You'd think they have a chance here.

They have to finish top two right to qualify for the Euro's? Belgium will finish 1st. Seems a straight s**t fight between Wales and Bosnia for 2nd spot.

Cant believe Tevez isnt going to the world cup. You cant let personal beef get in the way, same with Nasri. It's ridiculous, it's the world cup for gods sake. You have to take your best players and go hell for leather.

Disagree. If a certain player is liable to cause trouble then don't take him no matter how good he is. Nasri & Tevez are major trouble makers & twats off the field and I personally wouldn't have selected them for either country if I was in charge.

Exactly. No doubt as a player Nasri improves France but if his being there brings down the rest then that value quickly diminishes. It's the players own fault at the end of the day.

I was under the impression though that in both cases it's more the manager and player that doesnt get along rather than the player and his teammates. Am I wrong on that one?

Not sure on Tevez but was under the impression it was both in Nasri's case.

Tevez doesn't get on with Messi and Kun. Who would you rather pick.
******* rubbish.
Abidal has retired from internationals and so has Tevez, and Clichy at CB is ******* ridiculous.
Guy who did this is a ******* moron

VDW had the world at his feet after the last WC, amazing how much he's slipped down isn't it?

I would have Gomez in a team. Still shocked he hasn't been picked even in the provisional 30 man squad.

Does Landycakes get a spot on the bench? He didn't make the US squad.
