    Excluding Liverpool, who is the greatest team you have ever seen?

    For me it has to be the Brasil team of 1982

    Agree 100%.

    Worryingly I can still name the full 11.

    Waldir Peres
    Junior
    Leandro
    Oscar
    Julio Cesar
    Cerezo
    Falcao
    Socrates
    Zico (the God-like genius)
    Eder
    ....and the donkey Serginho (which was akin to Timmy Mallett appearing on stage with the Royal Shakespeare Company).

    I've always hated Paolo Rossi for knocking them out.

      What an awesome team that was.

      And I preferred those lighter blue shorts than the current deep blue ones worn by Brasil.

            If only they hadn't opted to play a 2-2-6 formation, they'd have pissed that World Cup.

            Then again, that's probably what made them so good to watch.

                The mighty RABA ETO GYOR, they won the Hungarian league in 1983 by beating Ujpest Fc 6-1 in the last game of the season.

                  He may well have been making a reference to our truly spectacularly **** five a side team.

                      I once heared that, as a young medical student in Ireland, the great Socrates was told by Shelbourne that he wasn't good enough. Has anybody else ever heared that one. It would be amazing if it were true!

                        Arsenal a few years back.
                        Football they played was on a different planet to the rest.

                          National team...Brazil 1982, Argentina 86 comes very close.

                          Club team.....Milan with Sacci as manager.
                          Just believe and you never know what will happen.

                          According to Benitez it's important not simply to go out to win but to go out prepared to win, which means players have to put in the same level of work on a daily basis. Anything else is unacceptable.

                            No - the story is that he studied at UCD for a while in the 70's before he played for Brazil and turned out for the UCD reserve XI. The reason he didn't make the first XI was down to choice - the reserves played on a Saturday, and the first team played on a Sunday. He preferred playing on Saturdays - ergo the reserves.

                              Remember when he turned out for Garforth Town a couple of seaons back? I think they had Socrates and Lee Sharpe in the same team.
