Best world XIs by nationality, 1992-present.

If each country could call upon all their players to have played in the modern era, who would come out on top?

The following thread orders the top 40 nations.
As always, a variety of factors have been applied:

• performance for club and country
• peak vs. longevity
• World Cup, CL, Euros, Copa America weighted highest
• Ballon D’Or voting
• team balance; each side must be vaguely coherent
• some personal preferences
https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="❓" title="Rotes Fragezeichen-Symbol" aria-label="Emoji: Rotes Fragezeichen-Symbol">Why 1992-present and not all-time?

To make the selection process easier, essentially. I started watching football properly around then so using the Premier League / Champions League as the cut-off makes sense for me.

Dunno. Sorry, Hungary, Austria,
Some players may have been forgotten, some selections may be ridiculous.

Feel free to disagree in the replies, but be nice about it. Just a bit of fun.

Ready?
40. https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🇨🇭" title="Flagge der Schweiz" aria-label="Emoji: Flagge der Schweiz"> Switzerland

38. https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🇧🇬" title="Flagge von Bulgarien" aria-label="Emoji: Flagge von Bulgarien"> Bulgaria
37. https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🇬🇷" title="Flagge von Griechenland" aria-label="Emoji: Flagge von Griechenland"> Greece

Kicking off with four European teams. Greece might be the weakest of these on paper, but their 2004 spirit counts for a lot.

Russia’s midfield looks classy, but that defence could be better.
36. https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🇵🇾" title="Flagge von Paraguay" aria-label="Emoji: Flagge von Paraguay"> Paraguay

33. https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🇵🇱" title="Flagge von Polen" aria-label="Emoji: Flagge von Polen"> Poland

Some brilliant players in these teams but all lacking a bit of depth which stops them making the cut for the imaginary 32-team Best XI World Cup.

Nice to reunite that Ukraine strikeforce though.

Egypt’s lack of impact at the World Cup hurts them here, but four AFCON wins and Salah make up for it.

Most of this Turkey side made a World Cup semi, while Serbia’s defence looks virtually impregnable.

Samuel Eto’o wasn’t bad either, while that Japan midfield is lovely. The Ghana strikeforce too, excellent. Great.
