What do you guys think?

Let's see:

Overrated:

1. Manchester United
2. Real Madrid
3. FC Kaiserslautern/Leverkusen

I just can't see what is so good about those teams. Everyone thinks they are so good. Well, Manchester United didn't even make it to the semi-finals of the Champions League last year. Real Madrid, well Real Madrid....And Kaiserslautern, is consider an above average team in the German League, yet, this year, they seem like they deserve to be relegated. And Leverkusen just chokes when it comes down to the wire.

Underrated:

FC Schalke 04
FC Porto

Two I can think of. FC Schalke is doing good right now up their with the top teams of the Bundesliga. FC Porto was a tough competitor last year, and no one gave them credit. Other then that, I don't know. (Although my mind is more towards the German League).

Just right:
Chelsea - England
FC Bayern Munich - Germany

They're gonna win it all this year!

I had to laugh at your last comment. http://www.soccergaming.com/ubb/smile.gif

Actually, you seem to know quite a bit.

Stephane Henchoz!!!

ROFL You think Stephane Henchoz is overrated? WHO RATES HIM? Who even says a word about this guy? Are you on crack?

Everytime people mention Liverpool's defence they talk about Sami, not Stephane. Sometimes I feel sorry for the guy because he doesn't get any respect. Even if people did mention him I'm not sure how you could say he's overrated - he's one half of the best defensive pairing in the Premier League - just look at last season's stats.

Highly Overrated:

England

They didn't even make past the group stage in Euro 2000.
