Didn't even start the video but I'm sure team Maguire clears them all

[@alexvlkvkna]

Team Antony is better

[@needfoolthings]

All qualifying games of Team Maguire ended 17-18 with Maguire scoring 35 goals each.

Team VVD scoring 4 identical goals in extra time is peak comedy

[@benstudd]

"Terrible goalkeeping from Lionel Messi" is not a sentence I expected to hear today.

[@edwinlam4679]

This tournament is proof that jumping reach, heading, teamwork, and work rate are OP based on how many center halfs won matches they wouldn’t on paper

[@avienated]

Perhaps. From my experience heading isn't really needed to score heading goals though, high jumping reach gets the job done for some weird reason. I know personally in real life that's not the case ;)

[@reaper_sower]

I'd imagine having a backline of elite defenders and every player being tall goes a long way too

[@JeffJeff-bh5vm]

@@reaper_sowerhaving a *full team* of elite defenders.

[@tajj7]

I think it was more the impact on their gk and set pieces. They seemed to make much better GKs. Plus all those centre-backs that did well are decent on the ball and not slow, Rudiger and Van Dijk are both pretty quick as well as the jumping reach and strength.

[@spinyslasher6586]

@@reaper_sower Height has no effect on jumping reach. Zealand proved this.

Pep: I can win with 10 midfielders FM: hold my CBs

[@klemengrdina4996]

I don’t think he was wrong. You have different type of midfielders and 10 midfielders have a better chance to win then 10 defenders and 10 forwards. You need a mix of Modric, Kante, Debruyne, etc. to win, but I think it can be done.

[@JJJackson777]

the way I see it Pep plays with 4 MF CBs and 6 MF midfielders

[@melone8833]

So when someone asks: "11 messi's or 11 Ronaldo's" I should answer 11 VVD's?

[@dlewis1701]

All the Ronaldos should do the celebration in sync when they score. Would have been quite a sight.

[@sallagjanos7288]

They barely scored bro

[@ZealandonYT]

Rip in the space time continuum

[@lucasmuraguchi7961]

Watching Messi pass to Messi, who then gives an assistance to Messi goal is a thing of art.

[@YouTubeStoleMyName759]

This is brilliant. I just imagine Team Ronaldo all standing on the edge of the box with their hands on their hips, blaming each other, as the opposition walk the ball into the goal.

[@losk3442]

you know that wouldn’t happen if it was a possibility of a complete squad of Ronaldo’s

@@megaplexXxHD "Rent free in your head", wtf are you banging on about? I said "This is brilliant" and talked about a full team of Ronaldo's, how is that not talking about the video's content? As for wasting time writing comments ... maybe you should relax and enjoy a joke rather than white-knighting Ronaldo - who, by the way, I think is an amazing footballer.

[@MrEjwheeler]

No team of James Milners. Sadge.

[@danabdol1267]

Came to say he’d have won

[@rockandrollbit]

I love this concept. If you haven’t yet considered this, maybe another video with all former Ballon D’Or winners.

[@weewhiskydram1294]

Great suggestion 👍🏻👍🏻

[@willmena96]

I don't think it's weird to see attacker struggling when they have to defend, but watching the defenders dribble and finish chances as if they were prime Henry is funny as hell

[@Benfica38-xt7de]

Van Dijk plays proper Dyche ball

Last match was definitely a battle of giants. Both VVD and Haaland physically dominated their way to the final, and in the final match they seemed very evenly matched physically.

[@coachrazvan04]

That cheeky Varela at CB in team Messi

As an English person, this is one of the best impressions I’ve ever heard. He actually sounds like derek Rae 😂

[@iamotaku7234]

“Attack wins you games, defence wins you titles,” Ferguson

[@arlasoft]

Would be interesting to put players like Chris Sutton, Dion Dublin or Paul Warhurst into the mix, who played both centre-back and striker. Or Southgate who started at Palace as a box-to-box midfielder with an eye for goal before converting to centre-back.

[@erwinverberkmoes3645]

Van Dijk actually used to be a striker too in his first season with FC Groningen

[@calgon5689]

[@LFCKopites]

Do this with past legends like Maldini, Beckenbauer, Gullit, Cruyff, etc (OBVIOUSLY THERES OTHERS THESE JUST CAME TO MY HEAD).

[@HarmsFootball]

Matthäus, Di Stéfano, Charlton, Rijkaard, Passarella, Koeman, Edwards, Nedved… And a few specialists just for fun - Gentile to kick people, Matthews to spam crosses etc.

[@HarmsFootball]

Loved Kylian and Mbappé & De Br… insert random sound…ne 😂 Great stuff though. I wonder if there’s a good classical FM database anywhere, I’d love to see teams of Beckenbauers, Cruyffs, Gullits & Matthäuses battle it out, especially if they are proficient in all of their historical positions.

[@danidm5820]

So, this is like that old Looney Tunes episode where Bugs Bunny plays an entire baseball game by himself against a full team.

[@ahha6304]

If there's a Team Philippe Albert then it will be both great at defence and offence

[@randommashedpotato]

Should be called the world cup of jawlines

[@arjunsatheesh7609]

Now do a cup with Antony, Harry Maguire, Lukaku, Onana, Phil Jones, Timo Werner, Neymar, Jamie Vardy, Darwin Nunez, James Milner, Nicklas Bendtner and a few more choice names that I can't immediately think of, right now. Call it the 'Lords Cup'. I know that they are all different eras and that might be an issue but it would surely be entertaining.

[@berri2692]

Do wonder how Goalkeeper stats are done for their outfield play

[@Anone_Anone]

Competition with same attributes would be interesting

[@harveyburton7]

Any time I thought of this question about a team of the same player I always thought van dijk would come on top how can you beat 11 of them beasts.

[@jekanyika]

Indeed. Haaland's run was surprising though, considering he is known for being extremely good at one thing and not so good at the others.
