O/T Greatest World Cup XI

You really don't need to read past the first paragraphs. No right back will have a career as successful as him.

He played in 4 tournaments, came runners up in one and won two, one as captain. The last one he was a 36 year old and i'm sure he'll admit that he wasn't up to it.

Awful.

 

See my Kenny Sansom post.

I could have looked good in some of those Brazilian sides.

 

I'll take you seriously as soon as you name a right back that's was as good as him.

 

Yashin
Carlos Alberto Moore Desailly Brieghel

Jairzinho Deshamps Charlton Rivelino

Maradona Pele

Everyone picks Maldini, Brieghel had a ****ing brilliant WC, beast of a man thundered up n down the left flank

Everyone picks Pele and Maradona all hypothetical but theres no way in the world would they play together. Pele would kick **** out of the midget.

 

I think Asbo has revealed an embarrassing blind spot in his football knowledge here - anyone who saw Cafu play enough would recognise his quality.

His main argument against Cafu seems to be that he won a lot of international caps, which is curious.

 

I'm only picking players I was around to see. So that's France 98 onwards.

Buffon
Cafu Thuram Cannavaro Maldini
Figo Zidane Sneijder Ronaldinho
Ronaldo Klose​

 

I have massive gaps in my footballing knowledge- I don't profess to know the be all and end all about players, I don't watch La Liga etc

Was Cafu as good as Dunga?

 

Considering Dunga was a DM and Cafu was a RB, it's hard to compare.

 

Try....

 

Steweys really making him self look a **** here, well a bigger **** than usual.

 

Banks
Carlos Beckenbauer Moore Alberto
Cruyff Zidane Maradona Garrincha
Pele Puskas

Unbeaten so far

Never tire of seeing this.

Remember it at the time, a genuine "WTF?!?!" moment- all too rare watching football.

Roberto Carlos in 1997 Le Tournoi was another one.

 

Well, why don't you?

You seem to think you can.

 

Mine is the best

 

Is Emile Heskey a better player than Ruud Gullitt?

I think Ruuuud was better.

There.

Easy.

 

Mental moment. Remember being sat in Bass House watching it.

Great tournament considering those sort of things are normally ****.

Scholes ripping Italy apart was class, as was the last minute winner v France.

You think he's taking the piss with that run up.......and then.....

Ben Kingsley rooted to the spot.

 

Wow, you picked a really **** player with a ****ign horrific strike rate and a midfielder generally considered one of the best Dutch players ever.

Why not compare, say, Cafu and Dunga?

 

heskey is one of the best English players, just cause he didn't score much omg so typical he is so good

 

You've started drinking early.
