If you could make up the best world cup 11 from different eras and countries, how would your team look. Mine wold be..... Dino Zoff Cafu Bobby Moore Franz Beckenbauer Paulo Mandini Gascoigne Zico Lothar Matthaus Zinedine Zidane Pele Diego Maradona
while i can't see a weakness in a ide like that there are so many more players or combinations of players that could be named, players like Cruyff, Muller,baresi, Banks, Charlton, Rossi and one of my all time favourite players not necessarily a world cup superstar Gunther Netzer thought he was fantastic
Peter Schmeichel Cafu (awesome call crumble) Jaap Stam Fabio Cannavaro Paolo Maldini George Best Paul Scholes Zinedine Zidane Ronaldinho Cristiano Ronaldo Romario As you can see I'm a firm believer that football has evolved for the most part. I've unbiasedly (if that's a word) left out Eric Cantona, in favour of having that awesome front three. The team looks a little suspect in midfield with no holding midfielder but the back five is basically a brick wall anyway. Obviously no Messi, Pele or Maradona in there, just purely personal preference.
Did it on line (bbc sport I think) and my team was Banks Carlos Alberto Moore Beckenbaur Brietner Matthaus Jairzinho Zidane Maradona Pele Ronaldo (Brazil)
Buffon Carlos Alberto Baresi Beckenbaur Maldini Zico Eder Socrates Falcao (the entire 1982 Brazilan midfield) Pele Maradona

Oh no doubt about it. The game has changed so much, the likes of Beckenbaur and Moore would probably get sent off in every game nowadays, not just because of the speed, but the divers, the cheats, the pansies.
