There are also ones on Japan and Nigeria, but let's be honest, most don't know much about those two national teams outside of Jay Jay Okocha.

 

Decent picks there Quill.
I'd personally replace Tigana with Raymond Kopa - wonderful player.

 

I don't like to pick players way too far before my time, Fontaine is the exception due to exactly what he did in that World Cup.

I could've very easily just put the 1998 winning team, but ignoring some of those 80s players is wrong.

 

A bit rich when you can afford to leave out Thierry Henry!

 

Well, when Thierry Henry breaks the record for most goals at a single World Cup, I'll put him in over Fontaine...

 

That team is a joke Quill, it’s laughable.

One word.

Stephane Guivarc’h.

Endex.

 

My point was that someone like Henry can be left out. Embarrassment of riches and all that.

 

I'd have the current Spurs keeper in, I've forgotten his ****ing name, never rated barthez.
The defence does pick itself.
Not sure if you've shoehorned some into the midfield. Fans like two up front ya know...
I'd drop tigana, deschamps was such a great foil for ZZ can't drop him, for Henry or trezeguet.
I'm trying to remember a centre back they had late 70's early 80's he was great but still wouldn't displace them.

 

Chazz - you thinking of Tresor ?

 

There's a free pint for that tc.
Socks rolled down bringing it,out of defence.
Good memory

 

I remember him well - he modeled his game on my style of sweeper game
He scored a few more goals than I did mind

 

If Jean-Pierre Papin had played more than one WC (1986) he'd be in there, I'd exchange Tigana for him or Kopa/Henry

 

We need one of there for Germany..

 

Platini is banned from all football activity for being ****.

He should be banned further for breaking his ban by appearing in this idiocy.
