It just occurred to me today, something very peculiar indeed.
We've just wrapped up our second Premiership on the trot and we're a good shot at winning the Champions League too.
Now look at our squad closely. This summer we'll be sending a grand total of FOUR players to the European Championships.
I'm not complaining. I'm over the moon.
McLaren guiding England to 3rd place in their group gave me a warm fuzzy feeling of contentment.
It's just weird though. If you break it down further, Ronaldo is the only guaranteed starter out of those four.
Evra is brilliant but France have enough top class left backs to fill a team on their own. Clichy, Abidal, Givet & Evra will all be vying for the one spot.
Kuszczak hasn't played for Poland since he let that Colombian goalkeeper score against him from a goal kick. Quite embarrassing.
Nani will also probably be playing but I'd imagine he'd be used more as a sub due to a lack of experience with Quaresma preferred.
Which means I guess only Ronaldo will be playing every match. Does anybody else find that weird for a team of United's stature?
