Guest Sima Posted May 28, 2006 Share Posted May 28, 2006 (edited) GK: Schmeichel - The best, simply unbeatable on his day DR: Carlos Alberto - Inspirational captain, scorer of the best WC final goal ever DL: Maldini - Multiple European Cup winner, a legend... DC: Baresi - Unflappable, calm and assured. DC: Beckenbauer - Amazing ability bringing the ball out of defence and range of passing MR: Garrincha - The best player ever, just not media-friendly enough to be recognised as that. MC: Maradona - Never has one man dragged his country single-handedly to world cup glory. MC: Rijkaard - A general in every sense of the word, could spit a mean load as well ML: Cruyff - Sublime talent on the left, able to beat a man without him even knowing he was beat FC: Pele - Two footed, quick, good in the air and impotent to boot. FC: van Basten - simply put, the greatest striker of all time, career cruelly cut short by injury. Scores goals from areas no-one would dream of.

Jimbo 175 Posted May 28, 2006 Share Posted May 28, 2006 1. Jose Luis Chilavert - A showman on the pitch, and a mean penalty taker. 4. Carlos Alberto - Legendary captain of the 1970 Brazil team 6. Bobby Moore - As Matt said: legend 3. Franz Beckenbauer - The Kaiser, say no more. 2. Franco Baresi - 6 Scudeto and 3 European cups, does what it says on the tin ! 5. Paul Gascoigne - At his peak, a world beater.... 7. Jimbo - Lobbing them into the box all day long 8. Chris Waddle - Wide right long shots on goal and crossing with the best of them. 11. Ronaldinho - Best player in the world 9. Marco Van Basten - The ultimate forward 10. Gary Lineker - Goalhanger extrodinaire Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GafferTape 0 Posted May 30, 2006 Share Posted May 30, 2006 Didn't want to spoil the game like, but if I must be a starter, then get rid of Maldini, and I'll do a bit of overlapping with Laurent. Also, would need to make sure that Onopko is the left centre halve, to cover for my bombing up the wing and general shitness, while Albert and Barton can manage it themselves on the right. Robbie Baggio and Bellamy can come on at half time for the centre forwards, Pagliuca also, so that every shot/cross he catches he palms onto the post and then catches the rebound ala 1994 World Cup. Dabz to come on for Onopko at half time as well. We'd end up playing for corners with Robert swinging it onto Nikos' head every time. Kaka' can stay on the bench, he's a bit shit.
