Watching a 16-year old put on a great display and score a goal for the ages in a Euros semi-final yesterday underpins how impressive teens have been at this tournament. Güler and Mainoo have also been the best players for their nations... there we already have three players who are very strong candidates for a world teen xi.

Can you fill out the rest of the positions?

Gavi, Rico Lewis and Leny Yoro are there. That’s six.

And Endrick probably.
 
Zaire Emery and Mathys Tel of course. Just need a goalkeeper, a full-back and a CB then.

Or like this:

Keeper

Hato Yoro CB

Lewis

Mainoo Zaire-Emery Gavi

Yamal Tel Güler

… Endrick from the bench.

Kendry Paez, Estevao and Lingard could fit in somewhere in that team.
 
-----------------Endrick------------------
Gavi-----------Guler----------Yamal
----------Mainoo-----WZE------------
Hato--Cubarsi----Yoro----Lewis
------------------Restes------------------

Never actually seen Anselmino play mind you, but that's my bid.

Edit: Actually Cubarsi over him obviously!
 
Was about to question Garnacho not being in these but realised he's just turned 20.
 
Restes
R. Lewis----Yoro----Cubarsi----Balde
Mainoo---WZE
Yamal/Paez/Estevao-----Arda-----Tel/Lingard
Endrick

Notable mentions: Vermeeren, Bardghji, Miley, Gavi, Hato.
 
There was a 16-year old playing last night?? I thought that would have been more of a talking point during the game
 
The question is who wins the teen 11 or the over 34 11
 
A team that could work IMO, and looking at team balance instead of just listing the biggest names in each position

Restes - Lewis Yoro Cubarsí Dorgu - Neves Gray - Tel Güler Yamal - Ferguson

Yeah, but he did feck all. Can you imagine the hype if he scored actually did something, like scoring a wonder goal from 25 yards.
 
Reus - Lewandowksi - Messi
Mkhitaryan - Modric
Busquets
Alba - Hummels - Acerbi - Navas
Neuer


Edit: Matic for Biscuits?

I think I'd back the teen 11, but don't know if that's just because they are more exciting. Feels like that older team would struggle to keep pace.
