This team that Phudge picked well that is a good team,

Goonerboy I see you only have the English league in your video collection, your choices make me laugh...

No i have a video of football greats and old Celtic games. Try Brittish not english...the best Football in the world for 120 years.

This team would beat any...

GK Schmeichel
CB Maldini
CB Beckenbauer
CB Koeman
LM Duncan Edwards
CM Cruyff
CM Puskas
CM Mathaus
RM Best
CF Pele
CF Van Basten

SUBS:
B.Charlton
Rivelino
Papin
Jarzinio
Maradona

As I said this team would be unstoppable!

Football greats according to who? the English Premier league propaganda brochures?

You picked 10 out 11 of your current team from English league by the way. Also 10 out of 11 in "British" leagues for team of decade, and 11 out of 11 for century team.

Also you spelled Schmeichel wrong...

I know everyone puts Schmeichel as their number one goalie of all time, but for those who can remember, the finest goalie of all time was the great Lev Yashin, the 'Black Panther' was the greatest goalkeeper ever, when he retired in 1970 a 100,000 people went to see his final match which included legends like Pele, Eusebio and Franz Beckenbauer who all went to Moscow for his farewell match. I understand for a lot of us The Great Dane has been one of the best goalies but Yashin was the best ever.

Ï remember Yashim as the black spider", isn't it?

I like Schmiechel very much, but Yashim change the way goalkeeper play, they play as they play today thanks of Yashim.

After many of this Team of the century, I start to think that 80% of the guys at this msg group didn't what a game before the 80's.
On the last 5 players of the century, Berkamp, Beckham and Schmeichel get more votes than Puskas.

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh...

1 Minute to recover...

Goonerbhoy - I will understand that you only have the Celti's tapes, because if you have the 54, 74, 70 and 86 WC tapes...
120 years? Uh! Just remember to tell the rest of the world that...

Sometimes this group is funny! http://www.soccergaming.com/ubb/smile.gif


[This message has been edited by Lord (edited 12-11-1999).]

Well, I'm too young to make the "TEAM OF THE MILLENIUM" but I can do my Palmeiras of the 90's:
Marcos - Velloso - Sergio
Arce - Cafu
A. Carlos Zago - Junior Baiano
Cleber - Roque Junior
Roberto Carlos - Junior
Cesar Sampaio - Rincón
Rivaldo - Alex
Djalminha - Mazinho
Zinho - Amaral
Evair - Asprilla
Edmundo - Muller

I hope I've not forgot anyone.

Goonerbhoy's team of the millenium could kill any of your teams.Because all the best football comes from Britian!

Ahhhhhhhhh...

More 5 minutes to recover...

Good Joke Celtic! http://www.soccergaming.com/ubb/smile.gif

British teams, although maybe not the best ever, have certainly made lasting impressions (and might I not that 2 of the treble-winning teams hailed from the great UK) and supplied many of the best players ever, and still do today. (And, of course, they play the most beautiful football in Europe, something you can't accuse Italians of.)

As for Schmeichel? How can there be any doubt? Even without naming his accomplishments and multiple awards (but how can I ignore a TREBLE), his commanding presence as captain of the defense (and often the team) and offensive abilities can do nothing less than name the best goalkeeper today, tomorrow, possibly (probably?) ever. Also, some of us like to factor in *style* as a criteria - something a certain Dane had none missing.

And about the Decade team, some players who I feel aren't getting the recognition they deserve for their participation in club and national competitions: Bierhoff, Del Piero and Rivaldo. Their teams (local and national) hold them as key players and their influence is immense.

What do you think?

At last someone with some sense CELTIC FC.

Lord,
What`s with the recover sh1te, wheres you team?

GK: Yasim
LB: Nilton Santos
CB: Beckenbauer
CB: ... Hard...
RB: Carlos Alberto
CM: Maradona
CM: Puskas
CM: Cruyff
CM: Di Stefano
CF: Garrincha
CF: Pele

Mine would hammer yours, you could minnimise the damage though by putting Adams in your ...HARD...Spot.

My Team of the History...

1-Yashin
2-Carlos Alberto Torres
3-Djalma Santos
4-Beckenbauer
6-Nílton Santos
7-Garrincha
11-Maradona
8-Didi
5-Cruyff
10-Pelé
9-Puskas

Goonerboy: your team of the century contains maybe 1 player who could be on the real team of the century.
Half the people on your team would not even make top 100 of the century.
How do you put Bergkamp on the team of the century when any reasonable person would say both Cruyff and Van Basten were better than him?

Jimmy Johnstone was god, anyone who says anything different needs nuking

PP,
I believe that the mojority of the players today are better than the majority of yesterdays. There are some exceptions and these are the greats of the game Because modern football is the toughest ever and to me Dennis Bergkamp is the perfect player he does not only diserve to be in the team he is the greatest in the team. You `ll have your opinions and i`m not discrediting Van Basten or Cruyff infact they are favourites of mine but my view of the perfect player is different to the next person and so on.

ZZUB,
no shlt.

OK, here we go...

GK Lev Yashin
LB Alberto Cesar Tarantini
CB Alan Hansen
CB Franz Beckenbauer
RB Giacinto Facchetti
LM Johan Cruyff
CM Asa Hartford ("what the f***?", you say..)
RM Kristen Nygaard
LF Marco van Basten
CF Ian Rush
RF Kenny Dalglish

How's that for a strange brew?
Cheers to my "fellow Scots", hope I've done you proud.

and also, phudge, can you tell me st about breitner????

Goonerbhoy: How could you say today´s soccer is better? You were there?
It´s a marketing word.

Today It´s more physical, but it makes the players better? They have to play hard but not better.
It´s just marketing! You are going to buy a shirt from a medium player? No! So the market needs 109098 great players! Like the great players that disapear after 1 year. (Just like music)
Today soccer is 50% technique and 50% marketing.

After you say Bergkamp is the best we could end the discussion, because... nevermind...

PS: How old are you?

Only 17, but i know my football.
Todays players do have to work harder your right, with more cup`s than ever before. And why do you say "century" It britian we`ve been playing professionally for 120yrs, how old are you?

Goonerboy:
I have to agree with Lord, once you start saying things like Bergkamp is in best 11 of century or that Scottish league, or English 1st division is better than Seria A, etc. you lose all credibility. You can't make crazy statements like that and think people will take you seriously.

I ment that the scottish prem and english 1st div are better to watch, you don`t need money to put on a show. I think you`ll find there is alot of people agree with that.

Hey Idiots, Soccer/ Fotball is what it is Today because of these guys who would be any eleven on this planet or any other no one can pick a squad without picking at least half of these players

1.Banks Best Goalkeeper ever ask Pele
2.Vogts nuf said
3.Brietner best ever in that position
4.Krol check out Hollad 70 - 78
5.Beckenbaur Every Honor in the game
6.Charlton ask Beckenbaur
7.Cruyff only Pele was better in the 70's
8.Maradonna ask England,ask Germany ask anyone
9.Muller greatest striker ever
10.Pele no need to explain
11Best only mistake was being Irish

No Goonerbhoy not many people will agree with that.
In Brazil no open TV shows the English Championship. We watch Italian and Spanish Championship. The cable tv (ESPN) shows few English games, very few. We don´t like it, they way they play.
And I think Argentina and the rest of South America feel the same way (pls someone from Argentina, Paraguay... help me here).

And I don´t think someone from Italy or Spain will say they like English championship that much.

Just because they have to work harder, be more physical, it make them better players?!
I assume you didn´t watch Puskas, Pele or Cruyff games. Not just WC finals, but at their clubs, at national team...

So you grow up watching Bergkamp playing? Uh... Now I understand... http://www.soccergaming.com/ubb/smile.gif
My best player will be Paulo Vitor! Fluminense Goalkeeper in 80´. That´s the guy I want to be when I was young!
But when we talk about the best team of the Millenium I have to see the facts. And Yashin is better...

PS: 120? Ok let´s talk about the best player of the last century! From 1880 to 1900!
Duh...

Century Team

Gk-P.Schmeichel(Denmark)
Def-P.Maldini(Italy)
Def-F.Beckenbauer(Germany)
Def-Djalma Santos(Brazil)
Def-F.Baresi(Italy)
Mid-J.Cruyff(Netherlands)
Mid-Puskas(Hungary)
Mid-D.Maradona(Argentina)

St-M.Van Basten(Holland)

Reserve
Gk-D.Zoff(Italy)
Mid-M.Platini(France)
St-M.Laudrup(Denmark)
Mid-D.Passarella(Argentina)
St-P.Rossi(Italy)

Lord,
I think you`ll find that more people worldwide are supporters of the english premiership than the SIERI A and SPANISH PREMERA put together!
And More people support a brittish club than any other!
WHY...it`s obvious!

Prove your point about England having twice as many supporters Italy and Spain etc. based on what? On your delusional dreams?

No, no, actually something you are lacking, COMMON SENSE!

British football is the best football to watch.I would watch a scottish or english priemer league match before I'd watch a serie a or spanish primera match!

Wow big surprise hearing that coming from a mouth of someone who is Scottish or English or whatever your home country is.

Goonerboy what you call "common sense" in your neighborhood is known as "bollocks" in the rest of the world...

PP,
Your talking a fair bit of shlte there. Where`s your team anyway?

I'm from Argentina and I like english footbal. But, if I have to qualify what I like more, that will be south american football, italian, duch, french and spanish.

I don't know how to make the best team ever, but I'm sure that Pele, Maradona, Cruyff, Platini, Eusevio and Garrincha should be there.

I agree with PolishPower.

English Premier is not the most popular.
I look at ESPN site and ESPN international didn´t show the English Premier, but the Spanish League. Why? Don´t know about Japan, Kprea or Africa, but here in Brazil and South America I know why.
Nobody cares! One open channel brought the English Premier sometime ago, but it was a failure, they just show 10 games, no one watch. We just don´t like the way they play.
We like the Italian and Spanish League.

So South AmericaN don´t like the Premier, now what about the European? I don´t think the Italian will say they like the Premier league more... Or the Spanish.
About Sweden, Denmark... I don´t know.

But watching the marketing, the midia cover (ESPN) I would say that Spanish and Italian league are more supported.

BTW just for curious how much fans Manchester United has?

Well I just did this online. SO here is my team:

GK = Dino Zoff

LB = Paolo Maldini

RB = Carlos Alberto

LH = Bobby Moore
RH = Franz Beckenbauer
LM = Johan Cruyff
RM = George Best
RCM = Johan Neeskens
LCM = Michel Platini
striker = Paolo Rossi
striker = Pele

Did you see the results for Best players of 20th century in World Soccer?
1.Pele
2.Diego Maradona
3.Johan Cruyff
4.Franz Beckebauer
5.Michel Platini

PP,
Acording to who, not me and that`s all i wrote about .I didn`t expect mine to be anything like the majority that`s why i posted it.

Lord,
Here in australia we have Fox sports and we get 3-4 live English games and one Scottish. All of which are repeated the next day and we also have 3 different highlight shows.

But for the rest of the world we have one Italian and one Spanish game none of which are live. And we get 20 minutes of highlights from the entire rounds of the Spanish, Italian, Dutch, French, German and Sth American leagues just to fill in time at the end of the English Prem, Nationwide and Scottish highlights. The aussie media obviously recognises good Football.

What, did you expect any different in a country which is part of the Commonwealth?

The coverage in USA(if you have digital dish) blows your coverage out of the water.

And what is the population of Australia, 8 million? Population of Brasil is about 150 million!

PP,
I hope for your intelegances sake that 8 was a spelling error, try 18.

yep it was just typo 17,086,000 to be exact according to my Webster World Atlas 1995 edition...
by the way heres the 11 of the month for november(3-4-3)formation:
Oliver Kahn(Bayern)

Hoegh(chelsea)-Adams(Arsenal)-Marquez(Monaco)

Djorkaeff(k.slauternt)-Djalminha(Dopor)-Vanderhaeghe(e.mouscron)-Stankovic(mallorca)

Cole(Man U)-Raul(Real M.)-Overmars(Arsenal)

Certainly domestic leagues in certain regions of the world (like S. America) are going to be more popular than the Premier League. But a lot of people look to the Premier League as a model. And if you asked them what club comes to mind first they would probably say Manchester U. I saw this on a special (might have been a news report, I can't remember) but people out in the deserts & jungles of Africa and Asia were trying to tune in Man U. games on a radio, t.v or whatever they had with a large group gathered around like a tribal meeting. They even styled their own local clubs after Man U. So if all these people are passionately following Man U. which league do you think they follow? The answer is obvious. I'm not saying it's most popular league in the world (it could be) and I definitely DON'T like Man U. but it's something to think about...

For us non dish people in the states, the Premier League gets top priority and full show on Fox Sports. ESPN occasionally shows Spanish Liga and Italian Serie A matches. And thanks to the International channel I get Fox Sports coverage of the German Bundesliga and the Chilean League. Yay!

today:

GK: Francesco Toldo

DC: Jaap Stam
DC: Marcel Desailly
DR: Lilian Thuram
ML: Ryan Giggs
MC: Roy Keane
MC: Rivaldo
MR: David Beckham
FL: Christian Vieri
FR: Alan Shearer

what do you think about it ??????

So you watch English Games in a Comonwealth country... Uhm... Uhmmmmm...

I still think you didn´t watch Puskas, Cruyff, Di Stefano... playing to say Bergkamp is better.

PS: The last time I remember it was 142 Millions.

First of all, i'd like to state that this topic is very retarded. allow me to explain why. actually, the answer is very simple. organized football has only been around for a little more than a century. a millenium refers to a thousand years. that would mean back to 1000 AD. therefore, please rephrase the question to the best team of the last century and a half or since the beginning of organized football. thank you.

Soccer leagues....

Right, I feel I must express my opinion on the world's different soccer leagues.

I agree what most have said, English (or more accurately, British) football is the best in the world. At least the most fun to watch. Now, in Iceland we can watch the Icelandic, English, German and Italian leagues, and sometimes we see something from the others as well. (Brazilian etc...) Anyway, German football is generally boring, since the players prefer not to take any chances, but play heavy defence, and when they finally score, they rush back to defend their goal, to ensure their win. Icelandic football is like German football in slow motion. Now, Italian and even more so south american football is booooring. Ok, not boring perhaps, the games can be really fast, really exiting, but usually it's 5 secs of play and then a penalty/free kick/someone lying (<- geddit? lying?? http://www.soccergaming.com/ubb/smile.gif on the ground holding his leg, and then suddenly he's back on his feet shouting at the ref for not blowing his whistle. I mean, look at Ronaldo. In WC france, didn't it get on your nerves how he kept falling down and, oops! accidentally onto the ball? You'd NEVER see anyone do anything like that in England!

Ok, maybe I was too harsh, maybe I was generalizing... There are exceptions, of course. Dortmund's Lehmann springs to mind in the game vs. Rangers when he (quite clumsily, but still did it) put up the goal that ensured a penalty shootout for Dortmund. Those who don't know Lehmann, he's Dortmund's goalie, and he was playing a striker at the end of the game http://www.soccergaming.com/ubb/smile.gif Now that's risky! http://www.soccergaming.com/ubb/smile.gif And so on... But, generally, English football is the fastest, most brutal, most fun-for-the audience.

Right.

Someone's going to be angry now.... http://www.soccergaming.com/ubb/smile.gif

Why would anyone be angry that`s spot on. Although you forgot to trash the Spanish league which has to be one of the worst in the world.
I watched Celta Vigo V Athletic Bilbao this morning and i must say i must have only seen a hanful of challenges that were clean. Apart from these every tackle clean or not was awarded with a freekick because of the winging pussy that can`t handle being tackled either that or it was a foul because the defensive quality is non existant.

PS: i knew that Spanish football wasn`t popular but i at least thought the home fans would watch it. But i hear the commentator say that they gave hundreds of school kids free tickets to make it look like they had a crowd, pathetic eh!

BRITTISH FOOTBALL #1

OH my... Oh my now the Spanish league is not popular...

Oh my... Next will be that Celtic is better then Brazil 70, Hungary 54 and Holland 74...

BTW if England made the best players in 120 years, why they just won 1 World Cup? Curious...

This English vs Latin football discussion is not going anywhere!!! It's a cultural matter. English like to play with a fast transition from defence to attack (kicking the ball to the air) and they like that, and they have their league, so good for them.
But we, south american people, love to see how the ball receive a good treatment. It's slower but the ball pass from one player to another and the players get into the area with the control of the ball. We love that way, and thanks God we have ours leagues.

I'm not saying that ALL south american leagues and teams are good, but please do not judge those leagues based in one game of an small league. Try to see Brasilian teams like Corinthians, Palmeiras, Vasco or Argentinian River, Boca, San Lorenzo or Velez

I belive that the most popular leagues are the Italian and Spanish leagues for one simple reason they have the best foreign players in their squads.example argentinians will watch fiorentina games just to see Batigol and Brazilians will watch Inter to see Ronaldo.the same goes for chileans wih salas in lazio and the dutch want to see half their national team that plays in Barcelona.theres also a lot of small countries that will see these two leagues because their star player made it there.example george weah and i bet many paraguayans are watching bayern games because Santacruz plays there....about the team of the century all i know is one name cant be left out MARADONA with or without coke Diego did it all even scored with his hand kissed cannigia in the mouth shot reporters with his bb gun did numerous interviews drunk called havelange a crook was banned from the u.s.a has nuerous urecognized kids all over italy ,won a worldcup all by himself and was kicked out of a world cup,took napoli to the top ,Destroyed competion in the U-17,drove a tank to practice, scored the gratest goal in worldcup history and he critised nike for adding another color to the boca jrs blue and gold saying "im not wearing this shirt until they take out these silver stripes" while wearing a puma shirt (what a way to cut a promo) and last but not least he dethroned PELE.....the only thing he didnt get to do was get a monkey drunk this was acomplished by non other than o'animal Edmudo my other hero ....

Lord,
The reason that england only won 1 WC is because most of the greats in the english prem were scots. And the reason that we haven`t got past the 1st round is because it`s against our nature to win anything.

and hey the 66/67 Celts could hammer any lineup!

First of all ,how can you say the premier league is the best .I find it boring .Second ,Im not italian ,in fact I live in Canada ,but we get to see only the premier league and serie A here.At first I like the premier league cause that was the only league I knew at first .Then during the World Cup ,after witnessing Vieri's performance ,I started to watch the serie A and I found out how the premier league sucked compared to serie A.You people can say watever you want about how theres many goals scored in the premier league ,but the fact is the games interesting.Look at Man Utd .Im not sure who they r facing saturday but Iknow there oponents sucks.In italy ,we have Juventus against Fiorentina ,Parma vs Rome and dont forget the top 6 are so close to each other.Last thing ,you got to be kidding when you say that the premier league is seen more than the italian league and spanish league together.Id like to remind you ,most of South American would love to watch Serie A than the premier league .Even though Canada is not a soccer country ,I've notice that serie A has more viewers than the premier League .If you wanna prove that the premier league is better ,fine ,but youll be wasting your time cause nobody can change my mind or any others.

Ok i`ll watch my Brittish Football (Real Football), and you watch you Sieri a & Spanish Premera (Europe`s version of a terrible sit com)

NOW LETS GET BACK TO OUR TEAMS OF THE MILLENIUM!

Yes this discussion is going nowhere and now some guy comes here and rips the Bundesliga? It is one of the most exciting leagues you can watch! Its as fast paced as any league out there.

You rip these leagues like the were the worst garbage, and in reality they are all great leagues. You who rip Italian leagues are blind and those who rip English must be blind, they both play great football! Spanish league has highest attendance figures of any league in the world last time I checked. Celta Vigo in second place and the stadium was not full? hard to believe...

I do agree with Italy 82, week after week there are great match-ups in Italy, this week you get Parma - Roma and Fiorentina-Juventus. Meanwhile in England we finally have one decent match up: Chelsea-Leeds.

Chelsea Leeds (tommorow isn`t it) Did you see ManU V Westham now thats the prem!

A few changes to my Millenium Stars!

GK: Peter Schmacael
LB: Franz Beckenbauer
CB: Tony Adams
RB: David O`leary
LM: Ryan Giggs
CM: George Best/John Collins
CM: Denis Law
RM: Jimmy Johnston
LF: Pele
CF: Dennis Bergkamp
RF: Kenny Dalglish

Didnt see Man U -Westham, it was the early 10am game here and I was just not in the mood to make the trip to the pub to watch it. Man U won so you know it wasnt that great. Tottenham-Man U now that was a great game but what 2 months ago? And yes finally we get a game on Sunday that could be called match of the week!

By the way I see your picks are starting to improve as far as players and all, I think you are beginning to see the light...

I could have added Salenko (Russia) who scored 5 goals in a single match in World Cup'94 against Cameroon, and who won the golden boot that world cup)

PP,
the reason i didn`t put giggsy in my team to start off was cause i hate manu and my team had already started to resemble them but i just couldn`t leave him out.
