My team


DINO ZOFF

BERTIE VOGTS FRANZ BECKENBAUER BOBBY MOORE PAOLO MALDINI

LOTHAR MATTHAUS SOCRATES DUNGA

JOHANN CRUYFF PELE DIEGO MARADONA

Have gone for solid but classy defenders. Balance of flair, hard working and stylish midfield. Attackwise the ball has to be played on the deck.

Have a go and post your teams and your reasoning.

 

I went Buffon, Cafu, Maldini, Baresi, Beckenbauer, Matthaus, Zidane, Pirlo, Zico, Maradona, Muller.

I know, no Pele, but Muller's goal record (at WC's) was better when arguably football had advanced. Don't hate me.

 

hate, hate,

 

That's a tough one to beat.

 

------------Ronaldo (fat one)---Maradona-----


-----Ronaldo-------Zidane-----Pirlo-------------Zico------
--(spoilt brat one)


---R. Carlos--------Desailly---Beckenbauer---Maldini



-------------------------Buffon------------------------------

Reckon the inevitable punch-up when it came to who took free-kicks would be hilarious

 

Good line up I'd maybe put Gordon Banks in as goalie.

 

Zico

Carlos Alberto - Moore - Beckenbaur - Maldini (I really do think that beck and moore is simply the 'correct' answer for the back two)

Ronaldo - Platini - Zidane

Maradona - Pele - Cryuff

There is a question whether realistically any of these teams would play well together.

 

no geordies?id put gascoigne and shearer ahead of a a few on that list

 

For my eleven it would have to be Socrates or Gascoigne. As much as I love Gazza and would say he was the best 18yo I ever saw live I don't think he went on to fulfill his natural talent especially after the Notts Forest Cup Final. Socrates on the other hand.......

Shearer again a great centre forward old school style but I still couldn't pick him ahead of Cryuff, Pele or Maradona.

 

Definitley agree on that point.

I've sacked common sense in favour of all out attack. I reckon my back line can deal with anything Basically I found it impossible once you think of Moore, Beckenbauer, Bergomi, Zico, Mattheus, Rikjaard, Gullit, Platini, Zidane, Vieira, Keane, Garrincha, Pele, Hagi, Laudrup, Schmeichel, Banks, Charlton...................................its ****ing endless!
