That's asking a ton. Asian I can look into though...

But RomaChris, dude, you gotta do justice to this excellent piece by chasing it with the North American, African and Asian teams. Hell, Tomislav Chagall up there gave you a good start with Africa. And maybe you could put Becks on the North American team -- he's officially a Yank by now, isn't he? You gotta love Fips’ all-star teams; szep munka volt!

The '89 Milan squad as it was set up, was easily, and actually voted the greatest team in history. Slot in guys like Zidane and Pirlo and you easily have the best Euro IX.
