Description

The Athletic's Adam Hurrey, James Maw and Michael Cox warm up for the Euros by selecting a team of players who are most disproportionately known for their international exploits, from Mexican goalkeepers to 100-cap right-backs, a controversial Croatian, cult playmakers, an Englishman who got caught in a tug-of-war before we even knew him, World Cup goal machines...and David Healy.
They also discuss a worrying new case of football nicknaming and run some candidates for the Everton job through a sophisticated Athletic Long-Read Headline Generator to examine their long-term prospects.
