Starting eleven
What does the football term “starting eleven” mean?
How to understand the “starting eleven” in football?
Who is considered the starting eleven?
Most football teams have a squad of about 25 players but only 11 of these can start a game and so the team that a manager picks for a match is known as the starting XI. The phrase is sometimes written simply as XI in the media – in Latin, the symbol X refers to ten and I to the number 1 so XI means eleven. The phrase starting XI can be interchanged with the word ‘team’ as in the starting XI for Saturday’s game was named by the manager the day before.
- Example: Rooney was omitted from the starting XI after a bust-up with the manager.
- Example: It appears that the manager does not know his best starting XI much to the frustration of the supporters.
