Galaxy 11 Squad---#winnertakesearth by Nobody: 6:40am On Dec 19, 2013
Franz Beckenbauer has chosen his all-star line-
up and it features many of the planet's finest
football talent but will the best of Earth be
good enough?
It started in October with the sightings of
mysterious circles at landmarks across the
globe and was followed by the arrival at top
football grounds of a group of strange robed
figures. The curiosity of football fans was
raised by #WINNERTAKESEARTH until the
extraordinary riddle was solved... with the
setting of a unique global challenge.
Franz Beckenbauer revealed last month he was
compiling a team of "the world's finest" and
the concept of the GALAXY11 was born. Details
of its purpose remained ambiguous but
Beckenbauer was clear that the mission was
linked to mysterious circles beamed onto
Sugerloaf mountain in Rio de Janeiro and Times
Square in New York. The huge hole gouged into
London's Hackney Marshes by a ball bearing
was also connected.
Beckenbauer himself was also photographed at
Stamford Bridge in London alongside a strange
robed figure and similar characters were
spotted at Munich's Allianz Arena and Turin's
Juventus Stadium. The former Germany player and coach
announced he was taking responsilbility for the
selection of the GALAXY11, immediately
enrolling Barcelona and Argentina's Lionel
Messi as his captain.
Over the next few weeks, a host of other star
names were added. There was Bayern Munich's
Germany playmaker Mario Gotze, Chelsea's
Brazilian ace Oscar and outstanding Chinese
midfielder Wu Lei.
AC Milan's Stephan El Shaarawy was also
selected by Beckenbauer, along with Nigeria's
Victor Moses and Radamel Falcao of Monaco.
The former World Cup-winning captain and
coach wasn't finished there though, with
Korean winger Lee Chung-Yong added to his
ranks, so too Real Madrid and Spain goalkeeper
Iker Casillas.
Manchester United striker Wayne Rooney and
LA Galaxy star Landon Donovan followed, with
big-scoring Russian forward Alexander
Kerzakhov also called up. Real Madrid's
Portuguese superstar Cristiano Ronaldo
rounded off Beckenbauer's impressive 13-man
squad.
In terms of playing positions, the emphasis is
clearly on attack with Beckenbauer preparing a
special offensive plan to showcase the array of
talents at his disposal. Few believed he would
be able to assemble such a star-studded
collection and yet he managed it. Football fans
the world over have since been discussing the
choices at #GALAXY11 with the hottest topic
for debate being how Messi will play alongside
his great rival Ronaldo.
It is an incredible line-up but it needs to be.
As Beckenbauer said himself: "Only football
can save the planet." Is he correct? Does he
have the right weapons to achieve this
objective?
Anticipation is building by the day ahead of
the GALAXY11's mission so join the debate: #
