Let's have a look at the Dynamo Kiev Squad:

Goalkeepers

1 Olexandr Shovkovskiy
31 Stanislav Bogush
55 Olexandr Rybka *
74 Artem Kychak *
Defenders

2 Oleh Dopilka
3 Betão
6 Goran Sabljić
7 Carlos Corrêa
15 Pape Diakhate
26 Andriy Nesmachniy
Midfielders

4 Tiberiu Ghioane
5 Ognjen Vukojević
9 Mykola Morozyuk *
11 Roman Eremenko
17 Taras Mikhalik
18 Serhiy Kravchenko
19 Florin Cernat
20 Oleh Gusev
30 Badr El Kaddouri
36 Miloš Ninković
37 Ayila Yussuf
38 Diogo Rincón
49 Roman Zozulya *
Forwards

8 Olexandr Aliyev
10 Ismaël Bangoura
16 Maksim Shatskikh
22 Artem Kravets *
25 Artem Milevskiy
70 Andriy Yarmolenko
77 Guilherme

now we can see that most of the Dinamo Kiev squad are Ukrainian.

Interestingly all of them play their club football in the Ukrainian league.

They have 4 Brazilians, which is more than a third of the number of Brazilians that make the first XI of the national side.

They have a Georgian player, the Georgian flag looks a little bit like the England flag. Georgia is in the Caucasus, the Caucasus is also home to Europe's highest Mountain, Mount Elbrus. The highest mountain in the world is Mount Everest which is located on the border between Sagarmatha Zone, Nepal, and Tibet, China. Dinamo Kiev do not have any players from these regions, although they do have a player called Maksim Shatskikh whose name is fun to say outloud.

Klimenti Tsitaishvili is English I think.

Can comparisons between rai and bobo be drawn?

he's more the hybrid lovechild of Dicanioo and Target Man.

as you can see, the 2007 Reading squad has a nice blend of English and foreign players:

Mikkel Andersen (DEN)
Adam Federici (AUS)
Marcus Hahnemann (USA)
André Bikey (CMR)
Ulises de la Cruz (ECU)
Michael Duberry (ENG)

11 Scott Sellars, 5 Ruel Fox, 10 Lee Clark, David Batty, 7 Robert Lee

14 David Ginola, 9 Les Ferdinand, 28 Paul Kitson, Darren Huckerby, 8 Peter Beardsley, 18 Keith Gillespie, 21 Malcom Allen, Faustino Asprilla

I think the real interesting point raised by this thread is that Reading have possibly the strongest array of Right-Backs in world football

How many of that Newcastle team would make todays? Not sure any of the goalkeepers would get in in front of Steve Harper, but Albert, Ginola, Beardsley, Ferdinand and Huckerby would all have a good chance.

*had

de la Cruz went to Birmingham and Murty went to Charlton.

Huckerby would get into their first team now, he is playing at San Jose Earthquakes and forget about Beckham he is the real star of MLS.
