[PolishPower]

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...

 

[Neutral]

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.

 

[Lord]

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!

[astolfo]

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.

 

[celtic fc]

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

 

[Lord]

Ahhhhhhhhh...

More 5 minutes to recover...

Good Joke Celtic!

 

[Sella]

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?

 

[GOONERBHOY]

At last someone with some sense CELTIC FC.

Lord,

[Renato]

My Team of the History...

4-Beckenbauer

[PolishPower]

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?

 

[ZZUB]

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

 

[GOONERBHOY]

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.
