[Albion] The Brighton and ex-Brighton World Cup thread

[Stato]

The Albion stand sixth in the table of EPL clubs sending most players to the World Cup. https://www.theguardian.com/footbal...xed-risks-of-sending-players-to-the-world-cup. And to think that we used to have t-shirts celebrating Gary Chivers's non-existent Malta cap.

From Steve Foster in '82, Steve Penney in '86 to Eight this time around, not bad. Hopefully they will all get some game time.

Ali Mac is in.

Brighton & Hove Albion have a midfielder in the Argentinian team going to the World Cup. Tell that to your 25-year-younger-self.

Tell it to my Albion under Chris Hughton self

Seemed a good thread to post this. The top 60 players to watch (from the NY Times/Athletic) in the world Cup, we have 3 (Caicedo, Mitoma and Lamptey). Not too shabby I thought I would share. (Sorry there is a paywall for some). 5% of the top talent in the world at little ole Brighton!
