was brasil 2002 the GOAT team tbh?

[Brazil]

I'm an 80s baby son, I grew up watching Futbol when Ajax was running shyt w/ Nigerian talent & folks barely knew who Zidana/Ronaldo were outside of France/Brazil.

early 80's or final 80's ?

I'm born end of 70s. This period of Okocha, Nigeria, olympics 96, Rivaldo era, Ronaldo etc... was the period I watched the most sport in my life, from 15 to 22/23 I was hard core sport fan: foot, rugby, nba (when possible), tennis, you name it, I almost quit studying to play rugby... I was reading l'equipe everyday back in those days. I've seen for instance tons of games of Okocha era (I was in Paris) with Ali Benardia (big up to Lefty), Vampeta (the Brazilian faggot with a mustache ) we were calling him Vampetoune, Anelka, Laurent Robert

so yeah I know quite a bit of this period

[lefty]

Fuck Benarbia tbh

[lefty]

And if we are going to talk about Algerian players in PSG, let's talk about Mustapha Dahleb, one of the PSG GOATS

[Canyonero]

He wasn't a regular in Brazil's NT but from that era I remember Djalminha. That nigga's dribbling was insane.

[Kawhitstorm]

duh I was talking about olympics... that was the aim of the post... try to keep up... you were talking about medal

Henry couldn't even win a game let alone get to the medal match.

Then you should be aware that Africans were running futbol at that time, Weah was the best player in the world when Ronaldo/Zidane were just starting to make a name for themselves.

Yes I'm pretty aware they had a lot of talents but Kanu and Jayjay are nowhere close to be weah my point being Nigeria had a great team in 96 but it was not some sort of goat olympics squad. At the end 24 y/o Rivaldo lead Brazil failed to win this olympic tournament with a pretty stacked team: 23 y/o Carlos, 32 y/o bebeto, dat Savio who played for Bordeaux (good player), 19 y/o Ronaldo... a bunch of this team played at least once in France btw while Neymar won it.

'86 so yeah you were pretty young in 96

[Brazil]

Fuck Benarbia tbh

why the hate bra ? He fucked up in selection or something ?

[Brazil]

And if we are going to talk about Algerian players in PSG, let's talk about Mustapha Dahleb, one of the PSG GOATS

I was a bit young to know him well but yeah he is IIRC top 3 or 5 top PSG scorers

Nobody can top Daniel Bravo as the PSG goat though






I mean scapegoat

Why don't we look at the '94 WC, Nigeria could EASILY have been in the Gold medal match if they didn't stop their relentless attack against Italy instead subbing in holding MFs after Amuneke/Amokachi got injured. That's what you get for having a European coach:

Add to that a young in-form Kanu/Ikpeba + Babayaro/West from the '96 squad & Jay-Jay/Olishi/Finidi who were just entering their primes in '96: That team would run a train on Brazil's defense (especially Carlos/Cafu being too adventurous) & only France would have had the athlete/discipline in '96 w/ the likes Desailly/Thuram/Vieira to quell their vicious counterattacks.

The '98 version of the Flying Eagles was a bootleg version as the two bulls (Amuneke/Amokachi) were out of commission due to injury & Yekini was washed up. Kanu also had the heart issue which forced him to sitout for essentially 2 years & was completely out of form.

You could say all you want about Jay-Jay but his style fit the NT perfectly b/c he was unstoppable in the open field & Nigeria's style was making runs to create havoc instead of playing Tiki-Taka since they were athletical superiror than everyone they played. That's the only team where Ronaldo didn't look like a man among boys, tbh. (Why doesn't Ronaldo as the best young player in the world get blamed for being shutout in the semis when Kanu at the same age scored a brace to beat a "loaded" Brazil squad?)
A senior edition of Brazil-Nigeria would have been the match to make in '96 but alas the U-23 rule cockblocked.

[Brazil]

^ I had forgot about Kanu heart condition tbh... he was a very talented player. Don't get me wrong I love jayjay he was a fan favorite in Paris. France is blessed with African players tbh my two favorites were weah of course and abedi pele. I hate marseille but they had such an amazing roster, the era of papin, pele and waddle... such great memories tbh I miss those old times, the mozer, Francescoli, tigana... the Paille cantona of Montpellier god good stuff

Took his sweet time before joining the NT.

When my nigg dfens go nuclear on a Rivaldo bycicle... "this is the most perfect and aesthetic bicycle kick I have ever seen, it has power, placement, demarcation, sublime chest control..." Brazilian niggas posters are like slurp slurp slurp

when it is dat scrub Giroud who not only made the most perfect and aesthetic scorpion ever but started the action with a beautiful deviation it is "hmu"

but but Giroud is white and tall and has a werid look, did not win a WC, never played for Barça and has never been carried by prime Ronaldo...
