Same!Fucksake you had me worried when I saw that title pop up. What a player.
Baby gravy by the sounds of itSaw an article about romario as well, just still shagging. That era of Brazilians were different gravy.
Didn't have me worried at all. Just thought we were interested in signing him for the Premier.Fucksake you had me worried when I saw that title pop up. What a player.
I think when it comes to 90s/early 00s football we're very much on the same page. One of my favourite ever players. Was watching a goal compilation of his just the other day.What a player btw , this just popped up on my twitter and i just felt a wave of nostalgia ..

Just that whole champions league commentary / vibe proper nostalgia .. a great Football eraYou'll remember this one too Evo...
The best mate. Take me back. I have absolutely zero interest in it these days until around the semi final, I've not even bothered to try and understand that mess of a group stage.Just that whole champions league commentary / vibe proper nostalgia .. a great Football era
Romario was incredibleSaw an article about romario as well, just still shagging. That era of Brazilians were different gravy.
Football was still great then , i think that was 2006Great player. Though my favourite striker from Serie A around that time (maybe slightly later I suppose) was Francesco Totti.
Mainly for this goal alone:

It's too difficult as there was genuinely too many good players. Most people would land on a similar GK and back 4 i think, I'd kick Thuram out for Nesta, wasn't Thuram more a RB? He's be my second choice RB after the one you have in. I'd change the rest of your team other than Zidane, i think i'd struggle to get Henry in even though he's my favourite Prem player of all time! I absolutely loved Rivaldo, he'd have to be in somewhere.Joint 90s/00s dream team

Shearer scored nearly 300 PL goals and was just my favourite player growing up. Giggs and Beckham for me the two iconic wide players from that awesome Man Utd team.I think I'd have Ronaldinho in for Giggs and Ronaldo in for Shearer.
Otherwise it's hard to disagree with the rest!

Thuram I had in mind as a CB who dabbled at RB. I just have a bias towards England as being home to the best forwards of that time though they're run close by Ronaldo. Personal preferences on the pairings though, got to have rampaging Brazilian full backs, Serie A centre backs, Fergie's wingers and my favourite strikers from that era.It's too difficult as there was genuinely too many good players.

I think the reason it's so hard is, not only were there more eye catching players, we've discussed this before but the players were more well spread across teams/countries. Now the top handful just collect them like football stickers. No way a serious GOAT number 9 like Batistuta would be staying at a club like Fiorentina so long these days. The money wasn't all in one place.
Someone from the era who gets seriously slept on for me, probably because an old slightly clapped out version arrived on our shores at Chelsea, is Kyiv/Milan Shevchenko. Absolutely lethal CF. Proper player!

Look at that!I know they obviously lost the famous final in 05. But I loved that Milan team:

That randomly got me thinking about Adrian MutuSomeone from the era who gets seriously slept on for me, probably because an old slightly clapped out version arrived on our shores at Chelsea, is Kyiv/Milan Shevchenko. Absolutely lethal CF. Proper player!
First time i've heard Mutu mentioned in a while, and never thought i'd see it in a thread about the greats! It is relevant though as he was a good player and points to a time when even small countries had very good players dripping out their eyeballs. I believe Adrain Ilie of Valencia would have been Romanias other main forward at the time. Can think of a few other good players they had too. Would struggling to name one Romanian international these days.That randomly got me thinking about Adrian Mutu
Its your team so you can have who you want but theres a few missing for meJoint 90s/00s dream team

Totti's somewhat overlooked as he stayed with his club, but one of the all-time best players for me. If he had moved to Milan or Real Madrid when the chances arose he'd have won more trophies and personal accolades but you can't beat the story he had.Great player. Though my favourite striker from Serie A around that time (maybe slightly later I suppose) was Francesco Totti.
