Because Torres destroys Scum Utd everytime, and you hate Scum Utd.

Top tune! Aswad - Don't Turn Around.

But i dont like him too much, hes a good scorer..

Hes supposedly strong and goes down often
and is overated for me.

Rustu Recber was a great keeper, still is!

he is a great player not just a goalscorer he's a clever player aswell, but he cant make the same sort of impact on a game like a raul or a torres can.

Van Basten was in a different class to Lineker. Hey, I liked Lineker but lets be rational here.

I never said Lineker was bad- he's just not in the same league as Van Basten, that's all.

It was indeed. Ridiculous scenes to watch... hysterical though. Klinsmann was fantastic in that match.

Not entirely true Wannashag. England had a great run in the late 70's and early 80's, but Italian football was already emerging as a powerful league with Liverpool only beating Roma on penalties in 84 and Juventus beating them 1-0 the following year, so it's fairly obvious that a change was happening anyway.

everton would have won it in 86 after winning the league and cup winners cup the season prior,
the liverpool side of 88 with barnes, beardsley, aldridge and mcmahon was a brilliant team, even if wimbledon beat them in the cup final
and how well could george grahams arsenal teams have done? you think them fancy dan italians would like to play against them?

It would have been interesting alright, but the point is that whatever English side got through would almost certainly have faced the great Milan team of the late 80's and early 90's. They were unstoppable in a league that was attracting all the high profile names of the time.

Can't believe I forgot Brazilian Ronaldo. Throwing him in instead of Buffon.

1. Michael Laudrup
2. Zinedine Zidane
3. Romario
4. Marco Van Basten
5. Peter Schmeichel
6. Paul McGrath
7. Eric Cantona
8. Ronaldo (Brazilian)
9. Roy Keane
10.Think I'm going to put in Roberto Baggio ahead of Weah
