Nordic XI

Here's a quest for you. Me and my mate recently argued about how you'd form the best possible eleven out of the nordic countries Norways, Finlands, Swedens, Icelands and Denmarks player material. He's a manc so he refused to acknowledge the Liverpool players. My eleven, however, looked like this:

 

GK: Thomas Sørensen, DEN

DF: John Arne Riise, NOR

DF: Sami Hyypiä, FIN

DF: Daniel Agger, DEN

MF: Morten Gamst Pedersen, NOR

MF: Kim Källström, SWE

MF: Christian Poulsen, DEN

MF: Dennis Rommedahl, DEN

FW: Eiður Guðjohnsen, ICE

FW: Zlatan Ibrahimovic, SWE

FW: Johan Elmander, SWE

 

SUBS:

Jussi Jääskeläinen, FIN

Hermann Hreiðarsson, ICE

Olof Mellberg, SWE

Teemu Tainio, FIN

Jesper Grønkjær, DEN

Jon Dahl Tomasson, DEN

Daniel Braaten, NOR

 

Is this the best possible 11? If we manage to settle we'll probaly just move on to the south american, northern american, asian and caribean best eleven.

Seriously, Concha? I'd never rated him - altough I've seen alot of him. Besides, Concha is "female genitals" in spanish.

I reckon you've started this thread just to show off all your fancy foreign vowels.
