I was seeing the list of the classic teams in the site and i noticed that it could include two more teams. They are the national team of Portugal'1966 that althoug never have won a world cup is one of the best teams of soccer history (remember Eusébio), and the other is SL Benfica'1960-1962 that won two Champions Cup one against Barcelona and other against Real Madrid (that have won the 5 first editions of the cup)
What do you think?

How can they not include Juventus in the classics .Like the one from 1931-35(They won 5 straight scudetta ,a record)or the team in the 80's when they had Platini or the recent one ,when they won the Champions league in 1996.

When it comes down to it i think EA tried to put as many teams in there as possible to have broad representation and appeal to a wide audience including Africa and Asia. That's why there are some crap teams in the "Rest of the World" section (all the ones that begin AL) and some not so classic teams in the "Classics" section.
The teams you mentioned (SL Benfica 60-62, Portugal 66, Juventus 31-35) should probably be in there but since the Italian League (with Juve) is in there they put other clubs from other countries in where they could (like the classics section).
I don't agree with it, they definitely made some bad choices. I'll never understand why they left out not only the Portuguese League (Israel?? give me a break) but also the Portuguese national team! You guys got screwed! They also left out Rep. of Ireland and Russia. And who did they put in? Egypt, Lebanon, Singapore, Taiwan, Thailand and UAE.
I would say the team that worked on this version did a piss poor job.
