What is the all time WC team?

[Belgian guy]

What is according to you the best side you can put toghether out of all WC players of the past?
my entry:

Zoff

Carlos Alberto - Passarella - Beckenbauer - Maldini

Boniek - Zidane - Garrincha

Cruijff - Pele - Maradonna

In my defense, a lot of attacking impulse and constructiveness, which means that Passarella would have to do most of the dirty work, but he wouldn't mind.

My midfield is pretty basic, allthough i know i'm very unorthodox by putting Boniek on the right of midfield, but he could handle it.

The three maestros of the game make up my attack, allthough one of three should drop back in midfield, i'll let them decide among themselves who it should be

[lanman]

Lev Yashin

Jozsef Bozsik Franz Beckenbauer Bobby Moore

Lothar Matthaus

Johan Cruyff Pele Diego Maradona

Sandor Kocsis Ferenc Puskas

Gerd Muller

A quite attacking line up. Matthaus would be the holding midfielder, in front of 3 outstanding defenders, and could cover when Beckenbauer comes forward. Pele would play deep as the playmaker, with Cruyff and Maradona given free roles. Kocsis and Puskas would flank Muller, who would also drop deep along the lines of Hidgekuti in the classic Hungarian side.

[Blueberry]

my starting 11 would be :


Zoff

Thuram - Beckenbauer - Moore - Breitner

Matthaus

Cruyff - Maradona - Garrincha

Pele - Muller




My 'B team' :


Yashin

Carlos Alberto - Desailly - Baresi - Maldini

Charlton

Zidane - Platini

Romario - Puskas

wow, sanneh in the all time wc team :-)
he would have a big lough if he read this.

[Nobby]

I just thought I'd freshen up the all-time greats lists with some overlooked alternates. I chose players selecting one from each from a list of countries that never won the WC. USA and right-back were unused so... why not? Sanneh did have a very good tournament. I think my team would give Pele, Beckenbaur, Maradonna and company a good match.

I don't.

[Soccer Star]

I don't know? Eusebio would run circles around most of the players you all named.

[minorthreat]

Zamora
Maldini, Baresi, Beckenbauer, Carlos Alberto
Suarez, Platini, Maradona
Kubala, Pele, Puskas

[lanman]

Nice call on Zamora. Easily the best pre-WWII keeper, and the only serious rival to Yashin as best ever.
Unfortunately, I'm not sure that Kubala played in the World Cup. (although he was a truly great player, it's just a pity most of the world hasn't heard of him)

[Playable Back]

How many of you have actually seen all of the players listed in your personal teams you mentioned ever play a game?

[lanman]

I've seen substantial video footage of all of my team, with the exception of Boszik (just slight clips), whose inclusion I base on partly his reputation, and partly from speaking to several people who have actually seen im play.

[Rabon]

Nobody remember one of the best players of the world. Maradona think he was much better than him.

ALFREDO DI STEFANO

[lanman]

Di Stefano never played in the World Cup.

[edmundo animal]

well how about the 58,62 & 70 brasilian national team.
if i had to choose it wud be the following:
Ronaldo, Pele, Garrincha, Carlos Alberto, Cryuff, Neeskens, Beckenbauer, Eusibio, Maradonna

[Fender playa]

mine would be........

Yashin
Maldini Beckonbeur moore

Matthues

Maradona Garrincha eusebio Cruyff

Pele Puckas


Maradone would run on the wing using his speed and skill and eusebio would control the midfield..........:)
