In other sports, people look at "draft of 84" in basketball as the best draft of all time, for example.
In football, I want to take a look at what decade provided the best starting eleven. 4-4-2

what do you guys think

surely it would be a mix of players from each generation

but id like to think that modern footballers are better. so 80's

Marcelo

and World Champion Mats Hummels > this second hand defender from city

Give me a better one. I can't have Lahm at both RB and LB rofl

Fabregas in for Ribery as cm, drogba or sheva should be inthe 70's

this
marcelo is a complete joke player
not even among the 10 best full backs atm

70s are best for me

nesta
zidane

Drogba over Henry or Ronaldo? No way.
I have like 50 midfielders I'd pick before Cesc..

70s team omg

Definitely the 1970s..


----------------- Buffon --------------
Cafu - Cannavaro - Nesta - Carlos
---- Beckham ---- Makelele ----
Figo ----- Ronaldinho ---- Zidane
---------------- Ronaldo ------------

Subs: Viera, Del Piero, Henry, Puyol
