In a moment of boredem I have comprised a potential world cup winning "dream team" of gaming heroes, who could set out to conquer the world of football (my god saturdays are slow):-
1. In goal it has to be MARIO. The ITalian plummer may seem pretty small when travelling through Marioland and facing the almighty Bowser, but in the real world he's a nice big fat guy with supreme diving skills (as seen in Mario 64). Also if he gets one of those mushrooms down him, he'll be huge and virtually impossible to put the ball past!
2. Bringing up the rear, possibly in a sweeper role would be MAX PAYNE. Not vastly experienced in the world of "Soccer", Max may not seem like an ideal choice for last line of defence. However, what he lacks in experience, he makes up for in "Bullet time"! How the oposition will get a shot past someone who can slow it down and swat it away as though it were a balloon is beyond me!
3. As part of the line in front of Max, we have STONE COLD STEVE AUSTIN. Again, not too experienced - but as a hatchet man when you really want their star player crunching down and taken out of the game, what could be better than a "Stone Cold Stunner"?
4. As our central defender we have GILIUS THUNDERHEAD. This may be going back a bit, but those of you who remember "Golden Axe" will remember him as the dwarf. He may not have the height, but he's been thwarting evil on the scale of DEATH ADDER since before most of you were born and with an axe as big as that, there's no going past him!
5. Originally I wanted to instill a fear factor for the oposition to deal with. This spot had God's name all over it, but then putting the fear of God in people is not what it once was. So, in steps ANN ROBINSON. Be afraid, be very afraid!
6. In mid field we have someone who regaurds grass as somewhat of a second home. LINK has been up and down Hyrule field more time than I can imagine. He has an array of magic spells to asist him and with EPONA as his steed you know this is one character who will play to the end!
7. As our central man and Captain, we have non other than Captain JEAN LUC PICARD. He may be old, his knees may have gone but whether it be the silver screen, the small screen, or the computer screen, he always makes a superb captain. Who better to lead the men to victory than a man who won't give up even after having been assimilated by the BORG?
8. An unusual choice for a mid maybe? But RODNEY MULLEN (of THPS2 fame) can provide distractions like no other! His cunning freestyle trickery with a board at his feet can captivate audiences for hours! Just keep the ball away from him, he may become confused.
9. Starting the attack grid we have TIDUS, no not the fox, but the protagonist from FFX! His Blitzball skills will asure that he'll be good at working as part of a team, but this kid really shines in the pouring rain! When the others are slipping and falling everywere, Tidus will feel like his back on the blitzball pitch.
10. As our star striker we have SOLID SNAKE. He's a fairly nippy mover with good improvisational skills. However, its his stealth skills that have won him this spot - beating the off side trap has never been so easy.
11. Every team needs a star winger and the faster the better. SONIC may well be getting on a bit and still have a bit to learn about the sport, but ain't nobody gonna catch this hedgehog.
Providing this blue streak can be taught to cross the ball, he may just be the edge that they need!
Thoughts? Possible substitutions and reasons?

Gah! I was half way through doing a topic just like this!
I suppose I would be just copying if I finsihed and posted it now.
That will teach me to start something and get distracted by something else and leave it for too long.
Anyways good ideas IAMT! :-)

They're not as goos as the classic megadrive team of the nineties, you know.
In goal: Earthworm jim
Very Stretchy. Throws cows at those who oppose him.
Left back: Axel from streets of rage.
You wouldn't mess with him
Right back: Dwarf from golden axe.
You've seen his axe right?
Center back: Zangief from SF2.
Need I say more?
Center back: Bloke from road rash
Complete with a big metal chain.
Left wing: Super Sonic
Much better in his prime than he is now. Super sonic was obviously much better and faster than an ordinary sonic.
Right wing: Zool
Because he's a bit like sonic. Not quite as good though. The weak link of the team.
Midfield: Cool spot.
Smooth. untouchable.
Midfield: Shinobi
Again, passes players without even being noticed.
Forward: Dynamite headdy
Just you try and stop his headers!
Forward: Janco Tianno.
Best forward in Fifa International soccer. (Named after a programmer, I think).
