In this bonus 2022 World Cup-themed content, Laura O’Leary, Daniel Jones, Tommy Pitman, and Jon Squires create what they believe is the best possible XI using only players that are U23 and under at the Qatar 2022 World Cup.

Rules:

• The player must be at the 2022 World Cup
• The player must have been U23 or under just prior to the first ball being kicked at the World Cup 2022
