DREAM TEAMS

Written by Jamie Harris

 

Someone told me the other day that there used to be a match when a representative team of the best South American players took on Europe’s finest in a kind of Ryder Cup of Football. Now, I know that I should have at least checked this out on Wikipedia but that would have wasted my time wishing this game could take place today, and picking my South America XI V Europe XI…
