Thank Pande! Looks much better now and I actually missed a couple of the names earlier. Pretty good and balanced side for what England are going for I guess. Looking like they are going to 1-0 their way to the World Cup haha.

I want to know if there are players from wc2002, ec2004 or wc 2006 are still playing (regularly).
My guess is that there are noone from wc2002, only CR7 from euro2004 and ~20 players from wc2006 are still playing.

Uhm... there are quite a few players from 2002 who were playing in top division clubs in 17/18

An incomplete list:

Souleymane Camara, Senegal - Montpellier Ligue1.
Roque Santa Cruz, Paraguay - Paraguayan top div
Iker Casillas, Spain - Porto (retiring now, I think
Joaquín, Spain - Real Betis, contract is expiring though
Daniel Vallejos, Costa Rica - Costa Rican top div
Emre Belözoğlu, Turkey - İstanbul Başakşehir, Süperlig
DaMarcus Beasley, USA - DaMarcus Beasley, MLS
Landon Donovan, USA - Mexican top div
Samuel Eto'o, Cameroon - Konyaspor , Süperlig
Carlos Kameni, Cameroon - Fenerbahce, Süperlig
Ashley Cole, England - LA Galaxy, MLS
Joe Cole, England - Tampa Bay Rowdies, NASL (not a top div, only mentioned cuz England)
Bartholomew Ogbeche, Nigeria - Willem II, Eredevise
Zlatan Ibrahimović, Sweden - LA Galaxy, MLS
Andreas Isaksson, Sweden - Djurgården, Allsvenskan
Gianluigi Buffon, Italy - Juventus Turin, now retiring, would have played WC if they didn't fail the quals
Rafael Márquez, Mexico - Mexican top div, now retiring, part of the 2018 preliminary WC squad of Mexico (also part of drug smuggling allegations^^)
Hitoshi Sogahata, Japan - Kashima Antlers (his entire life....)
Selim Benachour, Tunisia - FC Martigues, Ligue 2 (he basically never played higher)

I didn't count all the players who are still playing at lower div teams. If you expand the list by all those now sitting at 3rd/4th division teams all over the world, it would get quite a bit longer.

edit: wow rafael marquez started 1997 but he wasn't in wc1998 squad so it seems he is the only one from wc2002.


Buffon! Oh wait
I used to organize tournaments for ESL Italy and referee Go4SC2s, WCSs, and IEMs for ESL SC2.

ok thanks but I meant if they are still playing for their NT. Unlucky for Buffon that he can't play WC2018.

Then Marquez is your man. :D

Buffon, Ibra and Beasley played in the WC quals. Two didn't qualify, one just retired from international games.

Sporting's football director (previously he was the director for other sports) was arrested, along with three others, for bribing referees in handball matches and possibly in football matches too. News media have published very damning WhatsApp messages and voice records where they talk about paying around €2k for referees to fix matches in handball, and up to €6k to opposing players in football. Quite the last few days for the club.

Meanwhile their president, in true nuclear cockroach fashion, still refuses to resign.

Seems Greizman wants a trophy before the world cup as well. Comfortable for Atletico with 25 minutes to go.

3 Europa league tittles and 2 Champion league finals in so few years is quite awesome despite the Madrid Derby + CL final drama.

I thought this piece of trivia was amusing;

Ashley Young is the first player called Young to be the oldest player in a World Cup squad since Choi Young-il in 1998. :D

No idea how welbeck gets into national teams. How many chances must he fluff before managers realise his work rate alone just not justify his selection. Why should Cahill be picked too.

Meanwhile shelvey and lascelles ignored...

Yeah i woulda picked a Shelvey over a Loftus Cheek at the least... Also yeah Welbeck isnt really a football player. His technical ability is amateur level at best. Hes just a good athlete that can hustle. How he makes it in to NT's and even plays for bigger clubs is beyond me.
