YGD United ready for Euro 2012 kick-off

With Euro 2012 starting today we have created our dream team for the tournament called YGD United.

With a budget of just £50.0m we have managed to create a team that would be the envy of many a club manager. We opted for a 4-3-3 formation, and upfront we have bagged some of the worlds best midfielders and strikers. This has however meant that the back four and goalkeeper may be a bit weak, but with Ashley Cole and Per Mertesacker in defence hopefully Portugals Rui Patricio won’t have too much work to do between the sticks.

Here’s a full run down of YGD United’s starting XI

1. Rui Patricio, Portugal (Goalkeeper), 2. Simon Poulsen, Denmark (Defender), 3. John O’Shea, Republic of Ireland (Defender), 4. Per Mertesacker, Germany (Defender), 5. Ashley Cole, England (Defender), 6. Andres Iniesta, Spain (Midfielder), 7. Rafael van der Vaart, Holland (Midfielder), 8. Steven Gerrard, England (Midfielder), 9. Cristiano Ronaldo, Portugal (Striker), 10. Robin van Persie, Holland (Striker), 11. Lukas Podolski, Germany (Striker).
