Where do i put in my complaint,  Ferenc Puskas a deep lying midfielder not an out and out striker, this is squeezing him out of my team,alias i picked the best of what on offer, you cant look by Pele, Maradome and Cruyff up front.

Cafu, Beckenbeur, Maldini, Alberto,

Garrincha, Matthaus, Rivelino,

They are lucky they didn't have Paul McGrath marking them.

Banks;
Passerella, Moore, Beckenbauer, Carlos Alberto;
Charlton, Revelino, Jarzinho;
Maradona, Pele, Cruyff

Doffing a cap to the best era of world cups (in my opinion), the 70s. (even if Diego was an 80s star).
To find his equal an Irishman is forced to talk to God!

Escobar in 94. Brilliant strike

Because a man getting shot dead is funny. Moron.

Depends on how you are looking at it. I viewed it as the greatest 11 players that have played at a world cup as opposed to the greatest 11 performances at a world cup. If you are basing it solely on world cup performances then Toto Schillachi, Robert Vittek, Mark Wilmots, and half the South Korean team of 2002 are all better than Wayne Rooney, Robbie Fowler, Francesco Totti, and Lionel Messi!!

But these things are just opinion. In my opinion Cristiano Ronaldo has reached a level of excellence that would see him walk into any team in history. So I have no problem finding a wing berth for him, The other options would be Garrincha, Jairzinho, Ronaldinho, Stoichkov. I think he is better than any of them.
