Who are the Euro stalwarts who couldn't make the World Cup?

Phil Neville has famously figured in three European Championship squads but has never been picked for a World Cup. Does any player share this sorry failure to go global despite attending the European finals so many times?" ponders Tom Mann, kicking off our Euro 2008 special edition by redefining the adverb 'famously'. After literally minutes of noodle-scratching, we are going to employ the age-old GCSE technique of responding to a difficult question by, er, simply posing a slightly different query which we do know how to answer and hoping no one minds the difference.

Phil Neville may well be on his own with his three Euros and no World Cups but here's an equally interesting teaser: which players have in fact found it a doddle to make it to the World Cup but (enforced absences through injury and country qualification failures aside) have surprisingly never been deemed good enough to attend a European championship? Roberto Baggio may have appeared in three World Cups in 1990, 1994 and ... more.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
