Strikers: Clint, LVC, Nero (offensive firepower)
Midfielders: Volonte and Kinski (great hussle and an almost maniacal tenacity on the pitch)
Fullbacks: Garko, Steffen, Lawrence, Hilton (experience and reliability)
Sweeper: Spencer (special enforcer)
Goalkeeper: George Eastman (occasionally susceptible to low shots)
Currently sidelined with injury: The legless dude from GBU.
Coach: Fernando Sancho (He always does an admirable job of leading the Mexican gangs)
Assistent manager: George Martin (just like in the Ringo films)
Referee: Jose āSilvanitoā Calvo (you canāt bribe him!)
Team Captain: Anthony Steffen (the most career caps, famous for his āgun of godā goal in '68 which I believe was a ārolling divingā header if Iām not mistaken.)

I like the āRolling diveā especially.
Nice team, but despite Eastmanās height I donāt think he is psycho enough to be a proper goalkeeper. Those guys are all certifiable. He may be a short arse, but it has to be Kinski in goal. Imagine him bawling out the defense every time they conceded a goal. ;D
And speaking of which, no matter how good a team you put together you know itās inevitable they will lose on penalties to the German Winnetou DEFA Alliance team in the end. :ā(

This Team will never lose !!!
;D[/quote]
It will with this goal keeper.
Steffen with his stiffness has not the reaction time he needs. And then, about a minute too late, he will do this affected roll and dive routine to please the audience, when the ball is already wriggling behind him in the net.
Or Peter Schmeichel. A magnificent keeper who seemed to resent every save he ever had to make. His pointing and screaming at his defenders was pure Kinski
Steffan would be the coach. Coaches need to be stoic & refrain from emotion. You canāt get too high or too low. Clint in goal. You need someone tall. Kinski, Horst Frank & Lee Van Cleef are my strikers. My offense needs attitude, toughness & a little insanity. Cooler heads would provide my defense. Iām thinking William Berger & Franco Nero. I would also have Mario Brega & Bud Spencer as thugs off the bench. For when you need a little discipline dealt out if you know what I mean.
Not bad for someone who doesnāt know much about soccer ;).

Paco van Gaal that is[/quote]
;D Maybe I should replace Steffen in the Goal. Eastman would be a good choice.
