I know, but one was going to be made anyway. Figured I'd get it out of the way early.

No Ivanovic?

Hell we could do a Yugoslav team for each decade and it would be loaded with stars.

I cut about 8 players who would get into most other national squads.


Basically, I wanted Srna in and as many FYRs in as possible.

The former Yugoslav countries have impressive sports academies. They've produced great basketball players, and compete well in various olympic disciplines.

Half of the Swiss team would count too. And Janusaj.

Jovetic-Mandzukic


Modric

Rakitic - Pjanic

Matic

Kolarov - Lovren - Subotic - Srna

Begovic

That central midfield I would go with a diamond, and really outside of Matic it's a bit interchangeable. All could play as the 10, all could play deeper.

Need attacking fullbacks for width, and those are pretty good ones.

When healthy I'd go with Jovetic as one of the strikers because he adds something a little different than a Mandzukic or Dzeko. Either Mandzukic or Dzeko as the other striker would be fine.

A pretty legit team.

Ivanovic is better than any defender on that list.

To answer the question though on paper they would be a top 4-5 team in the world imo.

Without question. Creativity in the midfield, good attacking options and a very solid back four and keeper.

10 years ago they would have had Shevchenko from Ukraine and Hleb from Belarus. The pickings are slim now.

If one of them is Shevchenko in his prime, they would. He basically single-handedly got Ukraine into the 2006 WC.
