Re: The Greatest

Cant agree with many of the team selections. Holland '74? Wasnt it Argentina who won the World Cup that year? Brazil '82? See previous answer. Cruyff's Barcelona? Weren't they the ones who didn't touch the ball during the 1994 European Cup final? Are France '84 and '98 and Denmark '86 better than, say, Argentina '78. And where are Il Grande Torino and Penarol?
As for the greatest matches, much better. But please dont tell me that Liverpool's ridiculously unjust and almost entirely accidental six-minute pantomime comeback in the 2005 Champions League final makes the game the second best ever. The best team didnt win. It was football at its worst, not its best.
