Yugoslavia National Football Team … today? (Part 3: Midfielders)

                           

How would Yugoslavia rank among the top national teams in the world today? After breaking up into eventually 7 countries (including Kosovo), Yugoslavia has become a thing of the past. But what if, hypothetically, we could create a starting 11 for this team today? Who would start? And, more importantly, how would this starting 11 fare against the big powerhouses of today, countries such as Spain and Germany?

Note: For the starting 11, I will simply pick one goalkeeper, four defenders, four midfielders, and two forwards. Most positions will also include some runner-ups. Lets begin!
