Squad Explanation
-- This is one of my more crazier all-time teams. The title "Miller's Time" is based upon the slogan used by Miller Brewing Company from the United States. For more information, please take a look here.
-- I have too many strikers and forwards, but I cannot trim it down. The team is unrealistic.
-- There are 10 Germans on this team.
-- The surname Muller is the most common surnames in Germany. I have 6 Mullers from Germany: Manfred Muller, Gerd Muller, Thomas Muller, Dieter Muller, Hansi Muller and Nicokai Muller. None of them are closely related. But if they digged deep into their ancestry, they are all probably related somewhere. Then, I have another German Swiss, Patrick Muller, a Brazilian Muller and a Frenchman Lucien Muller
-- I have four players with surname Miller. They are Alex Miller (Scotland), Willie Miller (Scotland), Roy Miller (Costa Rica) and Markus Miller (Germany). And they are all defensive players.
-- Of course, most fans know Roger Milla from the World Cup Finals in 1990. His original name was original name Albert Roger Miller. He changed it to a more African spelling Milla. He is the fifth Miller on the team.
-- Willie Miller's central defensive partnership with Alex McLeish had kept Alan Hansen from playing for Scotland. Hansen only earned 26 caps. Alex Miller was a club legend with Glasgow Rangers playing around the same time as Willie Miller.
-- I have two other alternative goalkeepers, Dwayne Miller and Alan Miller. Dwayne Miller is a Jamaican goalkeeper with 34 caps.
-- Hansi Müller was a star at Euro 1980, but injuries kept him from fulfilling his promises.
-- Lucien Muller was a forgotten player with Real Madrid.
-- Dieter Muller was the hero at the 1976 European Championship, which was the first major tournament where West Germany played since the retirement of Gerd Muller. West Germany was trailing 2-1 against Yugoslavia in the semifinal when Dieter Muller came on as a sub. Then, he scored a hat trick, helping West Germany to a comeback win. Two of his goals were scored in the extra time. He also scored another goal in the Final. He was the top scorer of the tournament with 4 goals. His namesake and his performance were newsworthy back then. He really lived up to his namesake.
-- Dieter Muller's birth name was Dieter Kaster. Muller was the name of his stepfather.
-- West Germany had a player named "Muller" or Moeller from the World Cup Finals of 1970, 1974, 1978, 1982, 1990, 1994, 2010, 2014 and 2018. Besides Gerd, Thomas and Dieter Muller, there was Andy Moeller.
-- Klaus Toppmöller's name is close enough. Roger Milla, Danny Mills, Mick Mills and Frank Mill are also close enough.
-- Youri Mulder is the son of Jan Mulder.
-- Klaus Toppmöller was a top striker in the Bundesliga, but he only played a handful of games for West Germany.
-- The real name of Brazil's Muller is Luís Antônio Corrêa da Costa. I do not know how he gets the name "Muller". He is somewhat a forgotten player even through he was on the 1994 World Cup winning team. I remembered him for the 1990 World Cup Finals.
-- At one point, Thomas Muller wore Gerd's number 13 for both club and country. Both of them won the World Cup wearing that number.
