Jamie Carragher names his best-ever World Cup XI using one player from each country

Jamie Carragher has named his all-time World Cup team and has opted to leave modern-day greats Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo out of his XI.

With the Qatar World Cup experiencing a brief lull between the last-16 ties and this weekendâs quarter-finals, some pundits have had a go at picking an all-time XI. Their decisions have been made harder by the rule that you cannot choose two players from the same nation.

That means you canât pick Pele, Ronaldo and Roberto Carlos in the same side and you canât have Messi and Diego Maradona, or Miroslav Klose and Franz Beckenbauer either. The idea is to choose players from across the eras who stood out at tournaments.
