anyways from you guys' point of view a dynasty isn't a dynasty if it slows down after a while. Shit I guess the Greek and Roman empire we're just mere  villages.


We aren't denying their successes. We are saying a dynasty happens constantly. A key word in the definition of dynasty is "succession"

A dynasty is still a dynasty though.... you cannot just remove that title because it slowed down for a while

The only dynasty in hockey is no team because unlike football and soccer every team is competitive atleast 3 out of 10 years spans.

You don't but you get pride, confidence and experience, obviously not worth as much as the Stanley cup, but better than nothing, especially if you got there as a 8th seed underdog

So are you implying that the Brazil national team isn't a dynasty, even with Pele who has more goals than fucking Gretzky in a sport like soccer just because they haven't been winning recently?

Or that the Columbia team who won all those championships back in the days, then lost in the world isn't a dynasty? That one world cup game even got one of their star players, Andres Escbar, killed because he missed a sure goal... Don't bring up soccer dynasties please you are out of your league...

Brazil isn't a dynasty anymore... they used to be in 58-70 and arguably 94-02. You have to win important stuff a lot of times and dominate everyone else within a short span of time in order to be a "dynasty". Since the World Cup is by a long shot the most important international soccer competition you have to at least have snatched it recently to consider a country soccer dynasty. Brazil hasn't been all that dominant lately or made it past the quarter finals in the last two WC's so calling them a dynasty is kind of a joke.

/e And Colombia never even came close to winning the WC, they can't possibly be called a dynasty.

Colombia is a third world country though. It's not like murder isn't commonplace there. Place is 100% run by druggies.

Ah ok, like the habs, in 50s, 70s, and early 80s? :evil:

But seriously, saying brazil isn't a dynasty is kind of an insult.... they have bred the best players, who what if they haven't won the last 2 world cups? They have a legitimate shot at the next one with all their young players who in time will develop a playing a style. The age of the ronaldinho with the big dangerous moves is passed, the young guns just have to find their ways.... Andres, Robinhos, Coutinho..... All amazing players :)

But anyways that's soccer and it's very hard to define a dynasty considering all the different leagues. I guess Brazil being a dynasty is kind of debatable..... but not really since 5 golds, 2 silvers and 2 bronze is remarkable, considering the other teams.

Fuck Italy though :D
