From every World Cup, I tried to make a first XI with 4 players from winning side, 3 players from runner-up and 2 players each from 2 semi-finalists. Then I took a 12th man from a side that didn't reach semi (and SA had some of these 12th men too). So, that makes 12*10=120.

In terms of planned ordering,
1. 12th man from 1975 WC
2. 12th man from 1979 WC
and so on.........
10. 12th man from 2011 WC
11-14. 2 players each from 2 semifinalists of 1975
15-18. 2 players each from 2 semifinalists of 1979
and so on..................
47-50. 2 players each from 2 semifinalists of 2011
51-53. 3 players from the 1975 runner-up
54-56. 3 players from the 1979 runner-up
and so on.................
78-80. 3 players from the 2011 runner-up
81-84. 4 players from 1975 champion
85-88. 4 players from 1979 champion
and so on........
117-120. 4 players from 2011 champion

Thought someone could pick up the ordering midway through the game

Guys, I was thinking of a draft regarding the upcoming worldcup. Ten or twelve participants would draft the players who are taking part in the upcoming world cup and the result would be decided by who has the most points. The points would be calculated based on how many points each player accumulates at the end of the world cup. What say?

SK has such a strong team that we forgot to have a Poll for this :D It will still be interesting to see who actually wins this draft.
