Here are some beautiful portraits by Kareem Gouda, a graphic designer from Cairo, Egypt, showing a ‘stay at home’ 11 of players who have not traveled to the World Cup.
Be it players who had the misfortune of missing the tournament through injury like Riccardo Montolivo or Frank Ribery, or great talents like Zlatan Ibrahimović or Seamus Coleman who’s team didn’t quite make it, it is quite a strong 11 indeed. They’d give Cameroon a game anyway.
