OlympicsFan 782 Posted December 6, 2022 #4442 Share Posted December 6, 2022 49 minutes ago, rafalgorka said: 61 French players in 10 teams at this WC, papers say here https://www.sport.pl/mundial/7,154361,29229505,niewiarygodne-jeden-kraj-wyslal-61-pilkarzy-na-ms-2022-graja.html They have by far the best depth of all nations. Not sure if we have ever seen something like this, maybe Brazil had a comparable depth some decades ago. If we assume that Benzema would normally be in their starting team, then this would be their 2nd/3rd team: Maignan L. Hernandez Fofana Saliba Pavard Camavinga Kante Coman Nkunku Diaby Giroud Areola Mendy Kimpembe Konate Kalulu Pogba Ndombele Saint-Maximin Fekir Rutter Kolo Muani Digne, Disasi, Ndicka, Soumare, Kamara, Lemar, Thuram, Simakan, Badiashile, Koné, Guendouzi, Kalimuendo, Lacazette, Gouiri, Ekitiké, Bamba, Aouar, Mukiele, Lukeba, M. Dembele, Cherki, Ikoné, Martial, Cho, Gusto, Tolisso, Lenglet, Gourna-Douath ... I think their 3rd best team would still be at least on par with any other team except Portugal/Brazil/England. Attachment is the great fabricator of illusions; reality can be obtained only by someone who is detached. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heywoodu 13,540 Posted December 6, 2022 #4444 Share Posted December 6, 2022 (edited) Rafael van der Vaart on Dutch TV talking about Pepe (they played together at Real Madrid): "Everyone hates him because he has kicked everything that moves, but really, and you won't believe it by just watching his matches, but once you get to know him you'll see he's the sweetest and kindest guy you can imagine."
