All time line-ups

[moomba]

Boyata >> Vertonghen cos medals

Don't think Dedryk has one does he? Maybe one of the cups.

In either case Stefan Savic >> Vertonghen for the same reason sounds good to me.

Cantona was shite for France. Unfortunately Kopa loses out to Zidane & Platini for the attacking midfielder positions.

 

[moomba]

Did Cantona do much for France? Fell out with the manager or two IIRC.

 

[Zidane98]

Traditionally France haven't produce great keepers so that's why I've got Lloris down there. He is probably the best French keeper ever.

 

[Cruyff14]

I think the Ajax side would be hard to stop. With Michels at the helm and total football on display, it would be ridiculous. Add van Basten into the mix, with Koeman, van der Sar and the powerhouse of Rijkaard in the middle, near unstoppable IMO.

Play a diamond, Platini at 10, Kopa and Zidane wide-ish.

SFA. Ginola was another one who was all flair and fancy hair cuts but ultimately didn't do it at international level for Les Bleus.

 

[Cruyff14]

Also, the Bayern side has slid under the radar.

Kahn
Beckenbauer
Lahm Schwarzenbeck Breitner
Effenberg Matthaus
Rummenigge
Robben G. Muller Ribery​

Have to drop Tigana in that case. Petit also unlucky to miss out.

That's up there with Real & Ajax in the best GOAT lineups.

Well yeah, I think I covered well in the OP but it seemed everybody ignored that

Juve team is nice too.

Can't discredit Barca either with their midfield and attack too.

The five clear for me are Bayern, Madrid, Barca, Ajax & Milan (in no particular order).

 

[Bojan KantKick]

Cantona had a reasonable record for France. Unfortunately for him he fell out with every manager he played under except SAF.

 

[moomba]

Man City 2019.

Both the United & Liverpool teams are pretty close to them aswell.

 

[Magma]

ribery?

Disagree in all due respect.

I half understand why people think so (but again it's really only fans from those clubs who mentioned them), but I just don't believe they're on the level of the other teams.

ribery?

Been doing heaps of reading, many consider Ribery among great Bayern players.

 

[Magma]

im sure by the end of his career thomas muller will be a shoe in for that wing spot

Scholl?

 

[Cruyff14]

Probably. Schweinsteiger, Ballack, Maier and Uli Hoeness all on the bench too. Not bad either.

 

[Stan_Darsh72]

Im prepared to make the big call that Alaba will be in there too.

 

[Cruyff14]

Scholl?

Rummenigge has him covered.

 

[Cruyff14]

The Juve team is ******* ace too. Thuram, Scirea and Zoff all in defence. Oh boy.

Not saying they are exactly on the same level. They aren't far off though.

 

[Cruyff14]

So you're agreeing they're inferior to the sides I posted in the OP?

Exactly my point

 

[Stratton_Gun]

An interesting read this thread has been. Can't say I've seen much of the older players but suggesting Ronaldo was never the best in the world at United?

Would it matter if Cantona did much for France anyways? He wouldnt replace Henry in a million years.
