Football Dream Team (All-Time) - 15-04-2004, 06:33 PM

Alrite.....enough of the cricket dream team......too many cricket fans.... So how about 1 in football. Spanning eras (to avoid the Henry v RvN v Ronaldo v Raul feud )

Here's my 11:

1. Lev Yashin
2. Paolo Maldini
3. Franz Beckenbauer
4. Franco Baresi
5. Lothar Mattheus (I know ther's gonna be a debate on this one)
6. Alfredo di Stefano
7. Eusebio
8. Johann Cruyff
10. Diego Armando Maradona
11. Pele
9. Marco van Basten (Please note the number!!!)

Post yours ppl....let's see if we can have a better discussion than the cricket thread (read: less bickering)

Cheers!
Mike

Errrr....Mueller/Klinsmann instead of Marco van Basten???? I don't generally like criticizing....but y'know you're leaving out a man who's a 3-time European Player of the Year, 2-time FIFA World Footballer of the Year....and was the highest goalscorer (per season) in the Dutch as well as Italian League...also holds the record for max. goals in a single UCL match...has won the UCL several times and the European Championship with the most spectacular goal ever seen in a Championship final......and all this within the span of a 7-year career!!!!!

I really don't think Mueller and Klinsmann can evern think of rating themselves even close to his sheer class!!!!! It shows in uefa's Top50 Players of the past 50 years.....MvB right at the TOP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
