London's top football clubs have launched a viral campaign today to promote England's bid to host the FIFA 2018 World Cup.

 

Most major cities have two significant football teams - AC Milan/Inter Milan, Liverpool/Everton, Celtic/Rangers and so on. But London is exceptional.

 

The Premiership is usually made up of at least 5 London clubs - ie. 25%, while another eight or nine clubs populate the Championship and Leagues One and Two.

 

I've always thought London United would hammer anyone in Europe. But who would be in the first 11?

 

For me it would be:

 

Green, Sagna, Terry, Carvahlo, Cole, Lampard, Fabregas, Arshavin, Essien, Van Persie, Drogba.

 

Sorry Spurs fans.

Alternatively they could do a version of the 'State of Origin' rugby league series in Australia. You can only pick players from the city. So, Rio Ferdinand for example would represent London rather than Manchester. That would be good...

Green, Sagna, and Van Persie. Suspect goalkeeper, inconsistent defender and striker who needs 10 chances to put it in the back of a net when he's fit.

Cudicini, King, Bassong, Woodgate, Corluka, Palacios, Lennon, Fabregas, Lampard, Defoe, Drogba.

that will do it

Maybe a London United team would be what it takes for London to see the European Cup. Nottingham 2 London 0....
