Tooj Posted July 12, 2010 Share Posted July 12, 2010 Brazil in 1994 were the last truly great side to win the World Cup. I don't think that Brazil side were actually that great. How dare you disagree. They had some cracking players - but they weren't really that exciting to watch. The '94 World Cup as a spectacle was great though.

Delima Posted July 13, 2010 Share Posted July 13, 2010 I think some of you guys are a bit premature posting your prefernce now. I'll attempt to come back to this thread and submit my vote when I'm 78. Granted, I'll probably be pissing my pants, dribbling and won't remember what happened 5 minutes ago, let alone 50 years. But I'll certainly try. Hence why we discuss and predict ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delima Posted July 13, 2010 Share Posted July 13, 2010 Decent thread by delima. Must be his first non-Man Utd reserve thread. No. This thread serves as a brilliant reminder to my detractors who scorned me for suggesting to buy Pique from Man U. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Village Idiot Posted July 13, 2010 Share Posted July 13, 2010 Xavi ain't a #10, very different players. Xavi can't do what Zidane did, but certainly Zidane couldn't do what Xavi does either. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keefaz Posted July 13, 2010 Share Posted July 13, 2010 Spain, tbh. Also, there probably hasn't been a better WC squad in recent memory. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ketsbaia Posted July 13, 2010 Share Posted July 13, 2010 Spain definitely. And from a personal view, I never understood the hype about Zidane. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

madras Posted July 13, 2010 Share Posted July 13, 2010 spain would have won but france were better to watch. just me or are spain at a turning point, pass teams to death or dominate games with flair also as they did in the euros and did till the end of last year. (wonders if the downgrading of senna has stopped the likes of iniesta, xavi getting forward so much ?) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronaldo Posted July 13, 2010 Share Posted July 13, 2010 Had Torres been on form, they would have scored a fair few more. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
madras Posted July 13, 2010 Share Posted July 13, 2010 Had Torres been on form, they would have scored a fair few more. not so sure, spain without torres recently before the finals had been very easy on the eye and scoring for fun, i honestly think this spain team froze a bit and actually won without getting anywhere near what they are capable of.

Now basically every team they play deploy Mourinho esque, anti-football style tactics against them. At Euro 2008 it wasn't the case and they had the freedom to play a much more direct, passing game. At this WC it was more a case of being patient and wearing teams down. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest firetotheworks Posted July 14, 2010 Share Posted July 14, 2010 I'd rather have Xavi than Zidane, purely because I think he's a more useful player, not a better one. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flip Posted July 14, 2010 Share Posted July 14, 2010 WHAT? Have people gone mental? Honestly, im pretty young but the best player ive ever watched is Zidane, and then Ronaldo. Crazy how people would prefer Xavi (good player) to Zidane. There no question about it who is hte better and who will be the best remembered. However, it is a hard question answer which one of France 98' or Spain 2010 is the better team. I'd go for Spain 2010, purely based on the fact that they can still achieve more and the 98' France was pretty old tbh. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Incognito Posted July 14, 2010 Share Posted July 14, 2010 The French 2000 team was better than both tbh. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
