Zlatan looks like he's about to explode in anger, and some defenseless defender will pay the price.

Which... well, is very Zlatan.

Two of those utterly stumped one. One I would have got through guessing, if I could spell his name. The other one (and the guy in blue on the second line) look nothing like who they are supposed to be, but I guess that’s AI and QM doesn't want 16 that are dead easy.

@JustJoshing. Want to let the AI have another go at Thierry Henry? I agree that the AI did a not great job on that one.

Yes it looks nothing like him. I thought Schmeichel looked more like Ronald Koeman too.

i was certain that Schmeichel was Oliver Kahn. Tbf i feel like i am more right for thinking that. Also George Best looks like Andrea Pirlo to me

Double Henry's actual weight and inflate his face and then that AI version might be close.

When did Peter Schmeichel stop being white?

Pretty sure the picture was changed soon after that comment was posted. I also thought it looked just like Vieira and nothing like Henry.

I realised at the last minute that the hat was not a beret and the guy wasn't French. That's how I got Lev Yashin.

And also, those don't look look like AI at all. Bro made this quiz just to show off his artwork XD

Most of these guys look like they've seen things no one should ever have to see – Ronaldo in particular.

For some reason I couldn't make the connection with Henry and Eto'o. These drawings don't look much like their actual faces to me.

Yes. I was trying to think who had been in "Escape to Victory" as he looks like a French resistance fighter. I could remember that Laurie Sivell was in goal at one end, but not who was at the other.

Roger Miller also wasn't Roger Miller............

........and what's with the Mesut Ozil eyes on all sorts of people that aren't Mesut Ozil.

It doesn't work with the song at all

His eyes are offside

Zlatan Ibrahimovic

His eyes are offside.
