Who would WIN - Albion Rest of the World XI vs Albion England XI

[Mendoza]

following on from the 11 different nations thread. And Giraffe asking who would win, I had to do a thread and see what ye good olde people of the kingdon of NSC thought...

Both 4-4-2. 90 minutes, no extra time, no penalties. There HAS to be a winner after 90 minutes (including injury time and Fergie stoppage time).

Venue: Withdean Stadium

[Forster's Armband]

Rest Of The World because they have LuaLua!

 

[JGaleBHA]

Rest of the world would.

 

[Silent Bob]

ROW because they'd be managed by Poyet rather than Oatway.

 

[Glees]

the rest of the world would win hands down

 

[Mendoza]

I think the English have more goal scorers and would create more chances. But they would probably hoof it instead of flicky flicky it

 

[sam86]

I am sticking with the English!

The inexperience of Batti, Baz and Adlstein, and Adam at CB will cost the ROW dearly.

What a midfield that is -

Bennett (England)
Navarro (England)
Sparrow (England)
Caskey (England)

 

[perth seagull]

It looks pretty close but I think the Rest of the World would edge it.

 

[y2dave]

Tried n tested, just!

 

[8ace]

Rest Of The World because they have LuaLua!

LuaLua would absolutely RAPE Whingy.

 

[poidy]

An unusually good thread Brett and id say that although the England midfield is particuarly strong the ROW would just edge it. The telling factor being the England sides weak back four and inexperienced goalkeeper which would clearly be exploited.

Caskey is NOT a left winger, will be a disgrace if he is seen as that.

 

[Biscuit]

How FLAIR is Brighton now?

I'm going for the TRIED and TESTED, ENGLISH players mind.

 

[The Merry Prankster]

Poor Dicker still doesn't get a start.

 

[Biscuit]

I know. What an idiot.




Anyone who knows anything about soccerball knows he's a goal tender.

 

[Mendoza]

Well there's a free Saturday on 4th September

Let's get an exhibition match at Withdean going GUS. The PEOPLES match. It would be free to get in for West Ham stub holders, the rest would have to pay an entry fee of £4.27

I know Caskey isn't a left winger but he got the nod ahead of Hart

 

[Munkfish]

He's a centre fielder and a very good one at that too, just becuase hes got a left foot doesnt mean he can play out on the left.

 

[Spiros]

Although the England midfield edges it over the ROW midfield, the keeper / back 4 for ROW is virtually our first choice defence so would expect Murray and Holroyd to have a hard time getting through. ROW but only just (IMO England would be stronger with Hart in for Holroyd, playing Murray as a lone striker and ROW would be better if they had Dicker in for Batti)

 

[Mendoza]

ROW would be better if they had Dicker in for Batti)

Dicker didn't get in as Painter was already represting EIRE. I was going with 11 different nationalities in the starting XI

Quality thread Mendoza,

Engerland for me.
