England v Brazil Boro style

Jedi boro

Well-known member
We’ve been lucky enough to have many players represent both nations so what would be your Boro eng XI. To take on a Boro Brazil XI although we’ll have to improvise in goal.
 
Do we have 11 Brazilians?

Juninho
Emerson
Rochemback
Alves
Doriva
Branch
Muniz
Fabio

Any more??

Slim pickings at the back
 
Afonso Alves
Branco
Doriva
Emerson
Fabinho
Fabio
Fabio Rochemback
Juninho Paulista
Ricardinho
Rodrigo Muniz

3-5-2 formation but no keeper

If you include Portugese then Abel Xavier could play in net...

I'm going to go with English players I've seen play for Boro.

Pears

Luke Young
Pallister
Woodgate
Andrew Taylor

Morrison
Mustoe
Downing

Merson
Gascoigne

Hendrie

LB and Striker are tough calls

I liked that before looking properly.

4-3-2-1 formation?

Is that John Hendrie? I know he didn't play internationally but he was born in Scotland & sounds Scottish when he speaks.

Arturo Berhardt (striker in the reserves) in net.

Didn't play for the first team, but then neither did Ricardinho.

Fabinho? Do you mean Emerson's cousin Fabio?
 
Line it up however you want. But yeah I dropped a ******* with Hendrie. Of course, he is Scottish. Struggling for a striker. Will swap out for Christie. We really haven't had many English strikers in my lifetime when I think.about it.

Emerson's cousin was Fabinho.

Fabio was the fullback who played for Man Utd. We had him for a season or so. Rafael's twin brother
Fair enough.

Never seen him called Fabinho before and I'm pretty sure he wasn't called that when he was here.

Morrison is Scottish as well btw ;)
 
Ohhh I'm not having that one.
Played against him for Darlo as a youngster.
Agree one million percent.

He was born in Darlington to English parents, played for England at all levels up to U20.

2 years after leaving Middlesbrough he played for Scotland.

He was English when you watched him play, so he gets in to your team.

Probably should've done a /s rather than ;)

I'll tell you a really underrated English striker who played for us, Paul Wilkinson. Good target man but he also had a very good goalscoring record especially in his first couple of seasons with us. I think he scored 20 odd in his first year and got 15 or 16 in the Premier League the season after that. Which is very decent, especially as he was playing for a team that got relegated.
