The Athletic FC Podcast · World Cup Draft: Picking our Best XIs ever... with a twist · 4 Jun 2026 podcast

Not the Spanish center back I thought you'd go for. matched

My final selection is Will Wim Subaya, the two-time World Cup runner-up with the Netherlands. matched

One of the great proponents of total football, known for just having four lungs, incredible stamina, incredible tactical fluidity. matched

I think he'd be a good right-back to play behind Lionel Messi. matched

I need to get a Dutch player in there somewhere. matched

Wasn't the one in the position I think it'd be, but Wim is my man. matched

But I didn't think it would be... We were talking about this earlier. matched

I was talking about this earlier with Jack Lang about... matched

Was Cristiano Ronaldo going to go early or was the fact that he doesn't have a knockout goal going to count against him? matched

We have our answer. matched

Yeah, there you go. matched

Some players that perhaps didn't win the trophy but had phenomenal runs during the World Cup. matched

So, no Michael Ballack, who to my mind was the best non-Brazilian player at the 2002 World Cup. matched

Yeah. matched

Yeah, no African players, unfortunately. matched

I did have a sort of wildcard list of players like JJ Okocha, Samuel Eto'o, I think would have been picked. matched

Part of me is wondering, I did also have an entire game plan if one of the wildcards was going to be about choosing a player from the Asian Federation, where I was simply going to pick as many members of the South Korean team. matched

2002 team as possible um shout out to homing bow yep yep absolutely yes just incredibly versatile sweeper um even a player like Paco Gento was someone I thought might get selected um and I will say when I mentioned earlier I needed a striker I wanted to know if it was going to be a striker who can work inside the box or work outside the box I was genuinely considering Harry Kane surprised matched

Scalacci. matched

Toto Scalacci is not selected. matched
