Wonderful!

No worries, I understand why Americans call it that in the first place (to distinguish it from gridiron football of course). I’ve gotten use to folks across the pond calling it soccer that it doesn’t annoy me anymore haha

@EddersCPFC  
I understand. Many British people constantly try to force calling soccer football down my American throat.
 
It gets super obnoxious.

@OneOverTwo  

 
I don’t care where the characters are from. I’m from the UK and we call it football, so that’s what I’m calling it. No issue with you or anyone else calling it soccer, but don’t force it upon me.

@EddersCPFC  
Shouldn’t it be soccer lineup considering where all the characters are likely from?

@mycarhasaMoustache  
Why not? It’s just a picture of a football lineup featuring some of the characters. No harm in it.

There is no logic or reason to this picture.

@Background Pony #6FCB  
No worries. I never bother with the national team anymore and I hope they lose against France on Tuesday.

@EddersCPFC  
Wow, I learned a lot. Thank you.

England generally do not preform well (They did go on something like a 16 unbeaten run mind, but these were all against crap teams). Many people believe that Roy Hodgson (England’s manager) is biased and picks mediocre players for play for big clubs, instead of good players who play for smaller clubs.
 
For example, Phil Jones is not a highly rated defender, but gets picked because he plays for Man United. On the contrary, Scott Dann is a much highly rated defender, but doesn’t get picked because he plays for Crystal Palace.
 
Even worse example is that Fabian Delph (who plays for Man City) has been called up despite the fact he’s been injured for most of the season. He’s picked over players like Marc Albrighton (Leicester City) or Mark Noble (West Ham) who have preformed well recently.
 
Even players who play for smaller clubs DO get picked (like Jamie Vardy who plays for Leicester, and is on a 9 goal game streak in the league) barely play.

@Background Pony #6FCB  
Even if it isn’t, it’s still a brilliant comment. (if unintentional :P)

@EddersCPFC  
So it’s the problem why England team played not well? I’m wondering.

@EddersCPFC  
Well, nope. It’s a line of principal Cinch from Friendship games.

@Background Pony #6FCB  
Is this a dig at certain players being picked for England because of the team they play for? If so, that’s a genius comment.

@Red Cedar
 
Beacuse Canterlot High continues to pick its competitors in a popularity contest.

Strikers look good, midfield is strong, but I don’t see any good coming out of those three as defenders.

Also a slight mistake here. Traditionally, the number 4 is usually the midfielder and 6 is the defender, not the other way around. It doesn’t matter mind, but everything else is spot on so it kinda sticks out.

Lyra’s a goalie, Trixie and Derpy are full backs, Bon Bon’s a centre back, Pinkie and AJ are defensive midfielders, Rarity and Flutters are wingers,Twilight’s a attacking midfielder and Dashie and Sunset are forwards. Huh interesting. I suppose Celestia’s the manager then?

@AaronMk  
Ye.
 
Oh, well. Get her ass back in the goalie seat, and I’ll fill in for defense! You can count on me! This can’t be that much different from gator all, can it?

@RighteousIndignayshun
 
To inspire false confidence by not only arranging the team as if to say “Just score here” but by putting an inferior goalie in?
 
But what they don’t understand is Safest plays all positions perfect.

Why the heck is SAFEST HOOVES not the goalie?

Is this the proposed field placement of /mlp/’s 4cc team come the Winter Cup?

Soccer team, they’re from the USA or Canada so it would be called a soccer team.
