    Since in any case I saw probably as much of the 1994 group stage action (for different reasons) as the 2022 group stage action, and have just done a group stage XI and squad for 2022, I'll go with an attempt for 1994 (and one for the whole World Cup too - with just the odd change from post #248, just because the template uses more of a 4-1-2-2-1 so almost Christmas Tree with the left AM more attacking), to finally bring my contribution to this thread to an end (probably), even though I'm using a 2022 squad size actually, not a 1994 one!

    No Marcio Santos?
    (not that I truly remember everything, just, from memories, I think he was the best rated CB. And I can't remember Aldair at all)

    Like you say it's difficult from memory, but for sure I had Aldair in the first XI myself (the 1994 XI I picked is the clearest in my mind still, out of all World Cups), and I'd say in general he was the smoother/classier defender (and to an extent this would have shown in this World Cup at least), while Marcio Santos was more of a 'stopper', but I do think he was himself a key part of the Brazil defence that conceded very few goals - I guess although it wasn't planned as the partnership it worked out well with them playing alongside each other.

    EDIT - I see that according to the Sofascore metrics Marcio Santos came out with a higher average score (whether WhoScored for example would definitely reach the same conclusion is maybe hard to be sure of though, and to a small extent maybe Aldair having one late sub appearance disadvantaged him, albeit not as much as it would have with the Castrol method). According to Titanlux's table, here, Marcio Santos is ahead but mostly the sources have them close (France Football with the etoiles out of 6 method did have him a little ahead, but there is a pattern with the Italian ratings in favour of Aldair on the other hand, with their 1 to 10 ratings method, including half points and sometimes a 'no rating' for games with few minutes or low involvement of course)
    https://www.bigsoccer.com/threads/t...-1994-world-cup.2033907/page-10#post-40600263
    I will just double check the El Grafico (EG) number is correct for Aldair though, because IIRC they placed him in the final team of the tournament (which isn't strictly based on ratings, but still there would be a big difference in verdict between ratings and final XI choices in that case).

    Anyway, yeah, I'm 100% sure I, as a 16 year old, did have him in my XI of the tournament (the group stage a little less sure, but I think I had him making the XI at that point, because I'd started to think about it by then). I'd have more doubts though about whether his performances were a series of games at his top peak level, all in all, though of course.

    They're back available to me now, and yeah I can see his ratings weren't too low in Titanlux's table. but indeed El Grafico do still put him in their 1st team at the end.

    I think that M. Santos was more present at both ends of the pitch. Not discussing about who was more "stopper" and who was more "libero" though as I could agree that if there's a distinguo to be made, it is more like you said, but with the one who is more stopper who goes more forward in this case (it can be, there would be other examples like that). As for who was more "organizer", if ever one was more than the other (so that's especially during this month ofc), dunno.
    Obviously, I did not re-watch. But yeah, they were quite different even though not that much specialized in one thing more than the other I guess. M.Santos was in super-form. Aldair was Aldair (still guessing)? Yes, I have a mitigated opinion on him, at the image of his tournament in two different parts it seems, according to what you say. just a sensation that when I saw him play, he was either fantastic or dunno, the opposite. Admirable during some periods or on a specific game and somewhat confusing at times.

    About the DM's or related, I think that Sunday Oliseh made quite a strong impression overall too.
    I think that my 11 was close enough;) The turnover between Jorginho and Cafu was interesting too.

    11 + most of the subs btw.
    Sergi : yes (although he made mistakes and was more of a LM overall, but who else? Yeah, Chamot was possibly more balanced). Benarrivo and Emmers : I just can't remember. Petrescu or Jorginho (Petrescu has had some flaws perhaps but Jorginho also started to fade when meeting stronger opponents I think). Baresi : at the time I was not blown away by his heroics in the final tbh, it was a bit crazy-crazy imo and he should have passed the ball in the final third. Santos over Aldair for me and Oliseh over Thern, I guess.
    Besides Jonk/ Silva (+ Redondo) I can't remember if the Bulgarian was good, for example. Was it Yankov?
    Forwards and AM's : 100% agree. And a little thought for Ravelli (who was not the best, agreed) and K. Andersson who also was in exceptional form. But then why not Raducioiu and hey, Dumitrescu, yes Dumitrescu still. The Germans are difficult to rate as they were not really forming a team it seems, but they were all not that bad I guess but yeah, difficult to make the cut anyway.
    Also, the Mexicans had some talents at this time I think : Aspe for sure then I don't remember about the likes of Zague and Hermosillo... or Luis Garcia (not to be confounded with Aspe hehe...) Possibly Aspe was not consistant tho. I remember that Hamzah Falatah made me a strong impression too.

    I'll just give a quick reply wm (with an eye on the TV as Brazil try to score a 5th goal of course edit: and Alisson tries to stop a South Korea goal too!). Yeah, I think it is a World Cup we were both able to watch quite a bit of and 'memorise' quite well due to our ages maybe (though for me it helped that I did choose an XI and memorise that I think...and I remembered vaguely how that was developing....but also players outside it like Garcia Aspe indeed I remembered about, and Luis Garcia with his goals vs Ireland indeed). Yankov was not really a name I remembered (or picked out as an option for an all-star XI at the time), but actually in hindsight I have certainly noticed his contributions in games I have looked back on a bit (highlights or watching portions of games on Footballia), and I think he'd be a good contender among outright DMs yeah (but also he did assist both Letchkov's goals for example). Ravelli and Mihailov I'd have pretty much interchangeable maybe - both doing increasingly well as the World Cup progressed and their teams went far, I think, and making some impressive saves including from penalties. If I had also done a 'knockout stage' version I guess Dumitrescu would come into the equation yeah, and Raducioiu did well in the group stage and then got goals vs Sweden too of course (missing the Argentina game though), and yeah Andersson similar with contributions in the group and knockout games and seeming to be in top form in general I think. Yeah, I think it's a contender for best Mexican World Cup side maybe (they played pretty fluid football IIRC), though there would also be 1986 and 1998 that have claims and maybe more recent ones too.

    I did make an attempt just for the knockout stage now too (even though I'd suggested a slightly different team/2nd team, in a diamond system, before) 1994knckoutstgexi.png
    It's probably more like a Christmas Tree, although it works well that Hagi is more the AM for example like this anyway, and for sure Brolin did play mostly from the right wing in the knockout-stages. It's hard to choose the perfect system for this World Cup anyway maybe (considering that a lot of the top performers were central attackers, not necessarily strikers, albeit 4-4-2 was probably the system of the time if anything....but several teams that got far played a different system to that anyway). The Onze Mondial team you posted was good in the respect of fitting players to the roles they played I think actually @wm442433 (maybe Maldini as sweeper is not really right, but it could be they represented things like that to show him as more of a full-time defender and Albert almost like an old-fashioned wing-half in some respects, getting forwards more often).

    Having made that squad too now, if anything I'd be tempted to put Redondo back in for Mauro Silva in my 'overall' squad, but it's hard to be sure on that - I guess it represents things better in some way to have the more pure defensive player who went far with his team and has the better collection of performances cumulatively I suppose (Mauro Silva), while Redondo's case might be for the peaks of performance and the creative/progressive capabilities moreso. I could have moved Jonk to where I just put Albertini in the above line-up of course but then I'd have Jonk and Thern as more central players (especially Jonk) mixed in with options more for a right side and/or attacking role, like Letchkov, and Hassler for example, all in contention for the one place. When I originally picked an XI at the time, I ended up with Thern and Hagi as CMs, which is maybe a stretch, considering Hagi's role especially (although he was more like a Platini type number 10 in the sense of involving himself quite deep in midfield quite often I would have said, as opposed to a Zico type number 10...although vs Argentina he played as the second most attacking player for sure, with Raducioiu missing, and generally roamed around quite a bit and had the likes of Lupescu behind, and Thern had Schwarz alongside/behind too: at one point I had had Jonk in the equation I remember at the time too, but maybe Thern vs Saudi Arabia and Hagi vs Argentina, albeit in an attacking role, sealed their places in effect despite Jonk scoring a goal in that last 16 round too - making himself space nicely too, albeit Bonner made a goalkeeping mistake that time to be honest with the shot!).

    Maybe it's worth clarifying that Witschge is Rob Witschge (not Richard Witschge that played for Barcelona, who I remember Carlito asked about once because of a particular assist). Both were left footed, and they were a bit more similar than the Koeman brothers I suppose anyway (Erwin Koeman played in the same team as Ronald in Euro 88). Maybe wm442433 you remember both quite well, but @PuckVanHeel is probably the best one to ask, if anyone wanted to know more. Funny that both were in two major tournament squads in the 90s, but different ones (Richard, the younger brother, in 1990 and 1996, and Rob in 1992 and 1994).

    Yes. Lupescu and Albertini (and Dumi) coming into the picture. The Hollandese laterals...
    P. Andersson (no recollection but it rings a bell), Branco...

    Perhaps we're snobbing Dunga, idk?

    Perhaps so - my impression (maybe more from viewing footage of late, rather than memories) is probably that Dunga was if anything better near the start of the tournament. Lupescu I think was good vs Argentina and Sweden (again I go by reviewing footage a bit, and even looking at the ratings he got). But yeah, Dunga gets included/mentioned by other people/sources (although not always in terms of teams of the tournament - it seems like Mauro Silva shows up more in those IIRC but on the other hand Dunga gets better stats sites average ratings as Sofascore indicates). Andersson I think probably also did better in the knockout games (though he was a right CB and someone I hadn't mentioned yet, and Marcio Santos played left centre back and I'd earlier on mentioned him and potentially included him in a knockout-stage XI also, so those reasons played a part perhaps - Andersson cleared a shot by Romario off the line I think vs Brazil in the semi-finals so maybe I felt that counted positively too!). Maybe good to vary away from Brazil a bit, but I think my choices might be similarly good to picking the Brazilians at least, for knockout-stage (and possibly Lupescu over Yankov for knockout-stage seems feasible even though he played less games; on the other hand Sammer for example played less games than Lupescu).

    I noticed a preview of the semi-final games in the Daily Mirror - there are comments on the right about Brazil/Sweden by Mike Langley (I'll show in a following post), but whether the head to head selections are penned by him exclusively too I'm not sure (it's possible even they come from John Edwards whose name appears on the page, although I think it's because he conducted an interview with Trevor Francis who was pointing out how much better Romario and Stoichkov have played in the tournament compared to in the Champions League Final and suggesting Johan Cruyff must be shaking his head about that; while there is also a little piece citing Krassimir Balakov saying Bobby Robson is a great guy who he learned so much from in one year and "Italy have the best league in the world, but I'd like to play in England" on the page too).

    Those are Mike Langley's comments I mentioned.

    Maybe the head to head comments were if anything harsh on Pagliuca (not without any basis behind the gist of them though, as far as that World Cup goes, though he was active in making some saves in the Final when it came around of course and some sources rewarded him with high grades in that game), so I'll paste this in here as compensation (not that it has much to do with the 1994 World Cup)

    I'll add this one too, though it's a bit of a random one in the scheme of things, being from a local newspaper of Hull, a relatively small city in the north east of England. It's a selection of an overall World Cup XI by the sports desk team of that newspaper (and reference to a winner of a competition, who had a similar line-up - Ravelli; Jorginho, Aldair, Marcio Santos, Maldini; Brolin, Letchkov, Caminero, Hagi; Romario, R.Baggio, whereby he had Aldair in rather than Wagner with Maldini the centre like the sports desk team did, he had Brolin in rather than Donadoni, and Roberto Baggio rather than Bergkamp, likewise).

    There's a decent write-up along with the line-up so maybe worth posting I thought....

    There are some ratings from The People for this World Cup I see actually - I'm not sure whether for all games or not (I think not maybe because it seems like there wasn't even a proper report or any ratings for Spain vs Switzerland for example, but just a short summary below the report by Brian Glanville on Germany vs Belgium) but I think probably not all the issues of the newspaper have been uploaded yet (so not all the game reports that were made can be found anyway).

    For Germany vs Belgium these are the ratings:
    Germany - Illgner 7; Matthaus 7 (Brehme 6); Berthold 7, Kohler 7, Helmer 7; Wagner 6, Hassler 8, Sammer 7, Buchwald 6; Voller 7, Klinsmann 9
    Belgium - Preud'homme 9; De Wolf 6; Emmers 6, Grun 7, Albert 7, Smidts 6; Staelens 5, Scifo 5, Van der Elst 6, Nilis 5; Weber 6

    For Ireland vs Italy these are the ratings:
    Ireland - Bonner 7; Irwin 7, McGrath 8, Babb 7, Phelan 7; Houghton 8 (McAteer 6), Sheridan 7, Keane 7, Townsend 7, Staunton 7; Coyne 6
    Italy - Pagliuca 6; Tassotti 7, Costacurta 7, Baresi 6, Maldini 7; Donadoni 7, D,Baggio 8, Albertini 7, Evani 6; R.Baggio 7, Signori 6

    On the other hand, I have been able to compile 17 ideal teams, two of them, up to the round of 16. Several of the sources propose two, three or even five championship teams. Scoring 5 points for the first ideal team, 4 for the second and so on, the maximum score would be 81 points, with Romario being the only one to score 100%. Changing percentages for stars, these would be the best according to this criterion:
    Romario: 100 % (*****)

    Accumulating the stars by both criteria, we may be able to find the best of the championship:

    Hagi and Romario: 9 stars.
    Preud'homme: 8
    Maldini: 7
    Roberto Baggio: 6
    Caminero, Brolin and Ravelli: 5

    Finally, my proposed ideal XI. For me it is difficult to place all the best players in that set, because it would mean that this hypothetical ideal team would be without a holding midfielder, such as Redondo or Mauro Silva, which is why I am going to put an alternative team to the first one.
    In goal, Preud'homme, although Ravelli was close to his merits. Among the right backs, although Jorginho did not get outstanding ratings, there seems to be no doubt that there was no other better than him. As center backs, three options: Marcio Santos, Belodedici and Maldini, the latter, with a splendid championship after Baresi's injury, which makes me stick with Maldini as left center back and keep the Brazilian on the other side. With the gap left by Maldini's change of position, Sergi would be slightly above Chamot, Leonardo or Benarrivo. The midfield according to the merits previously explained in the criteria I explained would be occupied by Brolin, Caminero and Hagi, a lot of talent, but less defensive work, something that could be solved with the alternative of Redondo instead of Caminero. Baggio would be the playmaker and Romario and Stoichkov the strikers.

    Maldini and Hagi: 93,75 % (****)
    Roberto Baggio: 92.71 % (****)
    Jorginho: 84.38 % (****)
    Brolin: 77.08 % (***)
    Stoichkov: 68.75 % (***)
    Preud'homme: 67.71 % (***)
    Ravelli: 56.25 % (***)
    Marcio Santos: 55,21 % (***)
    Redondo: 46,88 % (**)
    Letchkov: 44,79 % (**)
    Caminero: 37.50 % (**)

    Finally, we should change the number of stars, which would change a little bit:

    Hagi and Romario: 9 stars.
    Preud'homme: 8
    Maldini: 7
    Roberto Baggio: 6
    Caminero, Brolin and Ravelli: 5
    Klinsmann, Redondo, Bergkamp, Jorginho, Bebeto, Mauro Silva, Sergi, Stoichkov and Marcio Santos: 4
    Raducioiu, Belodedici, Letchkov, Owairan, Kenneth Andersson, Dunga and Balakov: 3

    And as for my ideal XI proposal, I reaffirm it, since Caminero and Redondo have not "unbalanced", but, on the contrary, have added merits to be in the team after consulting the latest sources:
    Preud'homme; Jorginho, Marcio Santos, Maldini, Sergi; Brolin, Caminero or Redondo, Hagi; Roberto Baggio; Romario and Stoichkov.
