Re: Greatest European XI of all times?

That is actually a great list. Good to see Dzajic there. Very, very underrated player. One of the best wingers in history. Didi and Dzajic are arguably the best CM and best LW of all time, but no one puts them up with Maradona, Pele, Di Stefano, Cruyff, Beckenbauer etc. It's a shame.

I myself find the Cruyff to be more deserving of a spot over Zidane.

Also, a Van Baste, Muller front two would obliterate anything.

Would have appreciated if Carlo added a bench.

For all of Cruyff's talent he didn't really achieve much at the Euro's. In fact as far as International careers go Germany '74 was his only real great tournament.

As for the rest of the team it very good and hard to disagree with considering the criteria.

I would have liked to see Panenka for the lulz though. Also Amancio deserves a shout.

Here's the team

-----------------Zoff-----------------
------Kaiser----Sammer-----Maldini---
Van Moer-----Netzer--Zidane-- Dzajic
---------------Platini----------------
--------Van Basteb---Muller---------

I only later realized he was purely talking about the Euro's in which case I agree completely.

Could probably have done with a dane from the 1992 team, probably the biggest upset in the history of any NT tournament, but it is hard to single anyone out from that year, because everyone played as a team.
I agree with the few ones i have seen in this team in the Euros, Zidane, Maldini and Van Basten, but I don't have that much to compare with

Greece 2004 is the biggest upset in the history of NT tournaments.

Well i wrote probably, but i still think it is our upset which is the biggest, the teams we had to face was imo better than the ones Greece had to face, we beat a France team, the defending champions from Holland and a Germany team that had been amazing the whole tournament. All this with a team without some of our biggest profiles, most noteable Michael Laudrup, and we weren't even qualified

Netzer was a beast. I've only seen him in a hand full of games but man the guy was good.
