It's time for our latest FourFourTwo quiz and this one's for the geography fans out there.

We've drawn up 20 line-ups consisting of flags only and want you to name the team from the players' nationalities. The flags are – funnily enough – in the positions that those players played. Make sense?
So, whether it's an all-English centre-back pairing, a Spanish midfield or a South American attack, you've got to figure out the club sides from the nationalities in each position.

All of these line-ups won finals, which should help. We just need the team name. You may not remember the specific game, but here's a tip: you can recognise some of the players. For example, who had a Bosnian striker in a front two? Who had an all-French left flank? There are 20 teams to guess and there's no time limit for this quiz. Good luck!
